- Okay, I need serious advice....
- Here is the situation....I recently returned to school at the
- old age of twenty-five. I am in an undergraduate program and
- am surrounded by people 3-5 years younger than myself. (Little
- time for meeting and few to meet....) However, I met a guy who
- is in the Arch. School and he has returned to school as well.
- He is more my age. SO, this meeting of the minds happened in
- September. Since then, our relationship has VERY slowly
- developed and finally we have reached a point where I can count
- on him to be around. But! It is apparent that neither one of
- us loves the other and this is where the problems lies.
- Because of the lack of committment to the relationship, there
- is no romance, no sparks, no nothing. It's fun and we enjoy
- each other's company, but, it`s getting old fast!!! Am I being
- selfish by wanting more in a relationship? Am I being
- unreasonable by questioning my wanting to continue with him? I
- can't honestly see this blossoming and I hate myself for not
- wanting to end it just for the sake of having something to do
- on Friday nights and having someone around to call "mine." I
- have never had this type of relationship where I am second
- fiddle. (What's worse is there is no other woman involved.
- Just the damn architecture studio!) Even he calls it his
- "Mistress."
- Tell me the truth... Am I being a whiney baby? How 'bout
- spoiled? I haven't flown solo in a while and I don't know if I
- can remember how to do so. But I am lacking self-esteem at the
- moment for allowing myself to be involved with someone who
- obviously doesn't care whether I stand on my hands and clap my
- feet together or two-step with a monkey!
