My ex and I dated for about 4 years. We broke up about a year ago and were still very close. We began seeing each other casually for the past 2 months. When we are together everything is perfect. We get along, always have much to talk about, share the same interests, etc. However, she does not want to have a relationship again. She says that she loves me and that she eventually wants a relationship, but I am seriously beginning to get heartbroken. I love her so much. I don't want to mess up what "could have been." I don't understand why she would put off a great relationship if she knows that this is eventually what she wants. -Almost Heartbroken

Dear Almost Heartbroken,
There is much truth to the statement that timing is everything. We aren't always meant to be or do the things we want at exactly the time we think we should. Sometimes life has other plans for us. Having said that, limbo is not a very comfortable place for many of us. I think in your situation you need to assess exactly what stage of a relationship you are in (if any) and where the possibility of a relationship could be. Do you think she is serious when she says she eventually wants a relationship, or are you just her comfort zone since you know each other so well? It is critical at this stage to objectively look at these things. Don't let feelings of emotion blind you to what may really be happening. Your heart is an important part of you and its well-being should be a high priority. Don't ever waste your time with someone who doesn't feel the same way.

With Love,
