Hi Adly,

It’s OK to feel this way. It doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with you. You love the way he loves you but you sense there may be someone else out there who you may love more one day.

I know how it feels to not want to be close with anyone. Lately I have been sort of taking a step back and looking at the dating scene with a more detached perspective. I was always the type of guy who wanted to find a girl and have everything with her — passion, friendship, a child. But maybe in this day and age love is getting less like that. Maybe that’s OK. Maybe you can still have an awesome relationship/friendship with your current guy but not lose possibility. A lot of relationship’s passion simply can not stand the test of time. It doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with him or you. And hopefully one day you will find a guy who you know for sure you don’t want anyone else. If you do find him, try to let your boyfriend down gently and give him hope. Breaking up is almost unbelievably depressing, but after the depression is almost a whole new life, a new person strengthened by a broken heart.
