I am 47 years old, have never been married, and would really like to be in a loving relationship. My problem is that I really thought that I had finally found "Mr. Right" and now I'm not so sure.
Pat and I are both dancers and met each other at a dance. We were friends for several months -- dancing, talking, and sometimes going dancing for hours. As we spent more and more time together, I realized that I was beginning to have romantic feelings for Pat and I believed that he was having the same feelings for me. On a weekend camping trip, Pat and I were intimate and I was thrilled that we were now committed to each other.
A few weeks later, Pat told me that he really was "not ready" for a committed relationship¦ but still wanted to remain friends. I was devastated and did not go out dancing for several months. Finally, I went on anti-depressants and made my way back to the dance community. Pat and I still went dancing a couple of times. However, I would not dance with him -- since that was just too intimate and painful for me.

After much thought, I said OK -- but that there would be no intimacy since I just couldn't go down that road again. He was surprised and changed his mind again.
It's now been several months and I'm doing fairly well -- well enough to now dance with Pat again. But I still love him.
Do you think that I should listen to Pat -- and try again with a relationship that includes intimacy?
Thanks so much!

I didn’t have a specific issue when I began seeing Gloria; just a feeling of being “flat” and a deep frustration with my current situation and my inability to move forward. I was wary of seeing a psychologist, but I wasn’t sure where to turn. Gloria immediately put me completely at ease. She was professional and extremely knowledgeable and more importantly she took the time to get to know me and my thoughts and beliefs rather than attaching symptoms to a client and generating a diagnosis. Her ability to marry science and spirituality and share her own beliefs and experiences was incalculably valuable to me. I am now on a much brighter path and Gloria was a huge part of my transformation.
