reader, anonymous, writes (1 June 2009): Let me tell you my story. My wife and I were in our mid 30s when we started to date. We had both been previously married and divorced. She left her first husband over 3 years before we started dating and I had just recently gotten divorced. She was now ready for a serious relationship, but I was nowhere near ready. She gave me all the time I needed to be ready and we finally married 6 years later.
I also dated another very nice woman for several months at the same time. I could have settled on either one of them for an eventual wife. She was also ready for a serious relationship and was starting to hint at marriage and meeting her parents. I was not ready and we broke up.
Pushing someone who is not ready is just asking for an end to a relationship or too fast a decision that might be regretted. Don't push her into it, as it will most likely either drive her away or make her unhappy.
As a footnote, I believe that I ended up with the best partner in the end.
