What I did when I was going through all of that was to just get honest with myself and find out what I really wanted with a woman.
Am I ready for marriage?
Do I just want to date for female companionship/sex?
Do I want to live with her but not get married?
Do I want to date more than one woman at a time?
These were just some of the questions I had to be honest about with myself. Then I had to learn to tell the woman how I really felt about her and what my goals were.
