DATING Qs & As
THE WAITING
GAME
DATING CONUNDRUM
Dear LFG,
Dear LFG,
I’ve been dating this
really awesome guy
for about four months.
We’ve experienced a
few rough patches but
have always overcome
our struggles. We seem
to be pretty much on
the same page, but I
sometimes worry if
we may be moving too
fast. How long is long
enough to know for sure that this relationship is something that’s meant to last?
Signed Lady In Waiting
Where do I need to look to find real love? I’ve
gone to social events with friends and even tried
the online dating. I am 30 and felt if marriage
were something that was going to happen in my
lifetime it would have happened by now. So what
am I doing wrong? Or is it really just that hard to
find a real, good man?
Dear Lady In Waiting,
While it is true there are no rules or set timelines for how
long is “right”, it’s also smart (trust me, it saves heartache
later) to not rush into something new. Remember, everyone puts his or her best foot forward in the beginning, so
it’s important to take the time to really get to know someone. Again, there are no set rules, but I feel a minimum of
six months is a sufficient amount of time to consider seriously whether or not you are both in it for the long haul.
Chances are if you’re asking it has not been long enough to
resolve your doubts so spend more time getting to know
each other. Always listen to your gut and if you feel things
are moving too fast, share that with your partner and
discuss a new set of boundaries that make you comfortable
and works for you both.
Signed Searching For Love
Dear Searching For Love,
While I feel that it’s harder for a good woman
to find a good man, there are good men out there worth
the wait. Don’t settle and be miserable. Don’t be single
and miserable, either. Scale back a little on the manhunt
and channel some of that energy into enjoying life and
the loved ones you have now. Time is a precious thing to
waste, and it waits for no one. Don’t miss out on living a
great, fulfilling life while you are searching for your Mr.
Right. Have some fun on your own or with the girls. Just
make sure that everything does not revolve around finding
