Reply #2: Spelling might be lousy but the writing is great [View All]

Okay, I'm a woman who can relate to her situation. I've been through less than ideal relationships and have had trouble with trust as a result. I've been a single mom. I've suffered a lot of ups and downs.

My advice? Be a friend to her. Be someone she can count on to make her smile, to give her a lift or a helping hand, to listen when she needs to talk.

Don't rush her. Don't try to immediately make it about romance. She needs to know she can count on you. What a young single mom needs much more than to be swept off her feet is to know that someone has her back. Ya know?

Be a friend. And let things happen at their own pace. Once she knows you're not looking for a quick thrill, that she can trust you and count on you, then you can move forward into something deeper. You're both young and have all the time in the world.

Good luck. Anyone who can write so beautifully about the girl he loves deserves to have her.
