Funny but serious: I have been celebate for over 8 years and the pheonix is BURNING?

How much time have you spent with this potential suitor? Maybe you should develop a celibate dating relationship with him so you can get to know each other on an intimate, non-ual level, so you can better ess how much time he'd be willing to put in. If he's willing to have a platonic relationship and wait for , then he'll be "into" you when you get around to the part.
