Dear SS,

I am dating a really great guy and love how open he is to my ideas and thoughts, wants and needs. We seem very compatible. He loves cherishing me and that was first on my list of things I wanted in a relationship. I am recently out of a long term relationship where I felt unseen, unappreciated, and uncared for. So I am happy. But here is the thing: when will I know if he is for real and his behavior is not just honeymoon good behavior? Its been 6 months so far. I can’t help but feel a bit skeptical and cautious at this point in life. I am in my early 60's.

Thanks for your advice, Sexy!

Hey there Limbo,

Things sound great and good for you! Enjoy it! Relish in it! Why rush? Do you have to know? Give yourself at least a year to just grow the relationship on all levels. It will be a good investment of your time. See where the disagreements or differences arise and if working through them makes your relationship stronger.

Don’t be afraid to relax and luxuriate in this time. You are building a beautiful home that is your relationship space. You just need time to tell you if its an AirBnB or a permanent one. Ya feel me?

Don’t worry, Limbo, just be happy! Stay awake. Trust yourself. And have a little faith.

Love,

SS
