I am dating a man that wants to marry me. We are sexually active and that part of the relationship is great. We get along and he makes me feel wonderful. The problem is that sometimes I look at him and think he is "wierd". He will do things a certain way or wear something that I think is just "different". I sometimes dont' think we really relate to each other. Other than this we have alot of fun together. Do you advise me to marry him even when I have these feelings and doubts? I don't want to marry him and then regret it. Thanks.

Hi Darla2 - <BR>I'd suggest you are much too early with your thoughts of marriage. Let me suggest a couple ideas you might consider.<P>"Wierdness" tells me that he is much different than you in some or many ways. Can you accept that? How different is he? I suggest a small paperback, usually available from the library, entitled "Please Understand Me." We have found it a valuable tool in understanding people. It may help explain some of his "wierdness."<P>Next, let me suggest a book on good communications simply entitled, "Straight Talk." <P>The third thought is a question. Are you ready to let him know you intimately, thoroughly and completely and are you willing to know the same about him and accept him as is, without change?<P>Good Luck and God Bless<BR>Bob rsltexas@swbell.net

Thanks for replying to my post. I will try and find those books to read as I do enjoy reading. I know at times I do have problems relating to people and understanding them. When it is a friend or family member it doesn't bother me, but when it is a possible mate it makes me think twice. I am willing to learn more about him and I know two people (especially of the opposite sex) will not always agree on everything. Anyway, thanks for your reply.
