You have been seeing a woman for several years. She's attractive
and intelligent, and you always enjoy being with her. One
leisurely Sunday afternoon the two of you are taking it easy--
you're watching a football game; she's reading the papers--when
she suddenly, out of the clear blue sky, tells you that she
thinks she really loves you, but she can no longer bear the
uncertainty of not knowing where your relationship is going.
She says she's not asking whether you want to get married;
only whether you believe that you have some kind of future
together. What do you say?
- That
you sincerely believe the two of you do have a future,
but you don't want to rush it.
- That
although you also have strong feelings for her, you cannot
honestly say that you'll be ready anytime soon to make
a lasting commitment, and you don't want to hurt her by
holding out false hope.
- That
you cannot believe the Jets called a draw play on third
and seventeen.

take her to a nice restaurant and tell her after dinner.

take her for a walk on a moonlit beach, and you say her
name, and when she turns to you, with the sea breeze blowing
her hair and the stars in her eyes, you tell her.

her what?

intimate relationship with it than with her.
