I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years. When we first got together I was okay with taking thinsg slow. My last relationship had been with the father of my child and I didn't want to rush into things. Well we have been dating exclusivly for three years now and I am ready for a commitment but I don't know how to tell him with out scaring him off. We have so much fun together and spend most of our time together. He spends every night at my apartment yet owns a home of his own. I am getting so fed up. I don't even know how to start this conversation. Any suggestions?

heather42004...

APPROACH is everything in a situation like yours. Of course you don't want to scare this man away, but 3 years without any progress is a long time too!

So are you willing to risk the possibility of a break-up if you bring up the issue? If he's spending EVERY NIGHT at YOUR APARTMENT...Pianoguy thinks the least he can do is buy you some new towels and maybe...something for the 3rd finger on your left hand?

Talk to him and ask him how he sees your relationship within the next 2-5 years.
