asked me to 20 with him every

Sunday. He always seemed very
proud to be with me. This kept
up for three months. until the
death Of his father. After that
he never came to see me again
and made no excuses. When he
meets me he smiles and passes on.
Several times he has tried to
avoid doing even that. Recently
I heard from a friend OF mine.

out every evening another young
woman. haven't spoken 4 word
to him, but have been greeting
him cordially. But now I intend
to cut him, because he 10 cad

whole situation. II he is indeed

him the satisfaction Of realizing
that anything he can do matters
very much to you. II there Is a
possible explanation. why cut your
