I have been praying on my own for the last few years to meet a man to love and share my life
with, in March I felt that I had finally met that man. His name is Rich. We started dating April 5th. I
really love him, we get along great, we have so much in common, we always enjoy being together.
Unfortunately, he has never been in a relationship for more than 3 months. He is very afraid of
intimacy and commitment. He is 36 years old. He says he has never been in love. But that he has
strong feelings for me that confuse and scare him. He wanted to continue to see me and start dating
other women. Since I have such strong feelings for him I could not agree to this, so I broke up with
him. This was in the beginning of June.

Rich has told me that he cares for me, that he misses me and how hard it has been for him since
we broke up. He shares his feelings when he feels comfortable, other times he is very guarded and
when his feelings are too strong he puts them in a box and throws them away and doesn�t pay
attention to them. He can literally block how he feels so that he doesn�t have to deal with feelings
that are overwhelming, for example the death of his father and our break up (this is what he told
me).

About six years ago I realized that the most important thing I could have in my life was someone
to share love with. I know this from my very early relationship. I have dated many men, but none
that I really made a connection with...until Rich. I have been praying for years to meet a man who I
can share my life with, someone that I have deep feelings for, someone to be in love with. I feel that
this person is Rich. I have been
on a couple of dates with 2 new men, but I missed Rich the entire time. I don�t want to be with
anyone else, I love Rich.

Please pray that he comes back to me soon. Please pray that he feels comfortable to try a long
term relationship with me. Please pray that his fears of intimacy and commitment are lifted and he
feels relaxed and open to share his feelings and love with me. Please pray that our relationship will
lead to marriage and healthy children and to a loving relationship and friendship that will last a
lifetime. I want to grow old with him.
Please pray that he will feel happy and in love with me and that I will be happy and in love with him.

Thank You, Kathleen
