SingleScenes
by Sarah Smart
Q. I have been dating a guy for three months, who has turned out to be the best boyfriend I’ve ever had. He claimed to be single and unattached, but I found out recently that he lives with a woman he has been engaged to for almost a year. He claims to love me and not her. Everyone says I should leave him alone before I end up getting hurt. But I feel like he couldn’t love this other woman and be so attached to me. He’s still single and engagements aren’t etched in stone. What do you say/ Should I fight for him?
A. I agree with “everyone.” There is rarely a good future with a guy who doesn’t tell the truth. Save yourself some heartache. It’s hard enough these days to struggle against female competition outside the home. If one is already in residence, your chances are even slimmer. Leave him be and tell him why. If he’s really attached to you, he’ll move out.
Q. On the train every morning, on my way to work, I lock long eye contact with the most handsome man, and he never says a word. I’m so hooked on him that I dream of him every night. I know he likes me. But he must be shy. This has been going on for five months. Should I say something and break the spell?
A. Some guys enjoy flirting from a distance. I say go for it. You have nothing to lose. Maybe all he needs is a push.
