Dating a guy who's apprehensive
Submitted on Tuesday, January 22, 2008
By Beth, 52, from Michigan:
Dating a guy who's apprehensive of a serious relationship, but won't admit it. He had a bad divorce. How can I move him along?
VictorM's advice:
You make him sound like he's cattle.
He's in his 50's (I assume) and he's had a bad divorce. What more reasons than that does he need to be apprehensive? At this stage in life, getting hitched is not as appealing as when we were in our 20's. Besides, I think you overlook the most likely reason for his apprehension: he may not be into you as much as you think. I'm not saying he won't be, but guys need more time than females to reach that point.
You want to move him along... why? Where's the fire?

Yeah, men aren't cattle, they're puppies! And you just can't paper train a bull.
And I think you mean "hitched" unless all men = puppies = fleas.
