Dear Diana,
I'm 27 and my boyfriend is 28. We've been going out for more than two years now. He's a wonderful person, but as soon as I talk about marriage, he turns uneasy. He says he's not able to commit because he wants to settle down. He has also been keeping unwell due to his sinus problem. Should I back off and forget about him or wait for him?

Dear Rayna,
Your guy is commitment phobic. He is dilly-dallying as he is not yet sure about marriage. If he is facing health problems, he needs urgent medical attention. If he says he wants to settle down, you need to ask him what he means and for how long you will have to wait for him to settle down. If he gives evasive replies, take the hint and move on. This guy does not deserve your love. Find someone who will respect you.
