Persistent Issues: A Year On, No Solutions in Sight

A reader seeks advice on a long-distance relationship with a woman who has been hesitant to meet in person. Despite previous suggestions to end the relationship, the reader is still interested and believes there may be potential. Suggestions include not making decisions based on the woman, considering a smaller outing instead of a trip to Vegas, not giving her money from the house sale, dating others while waiting, and being open to the possibility that the woman may not be offering companionship at the moment. Readers respond with skepticism and advise seeking therapy or finding someone else who is more interested in a real relationship.
