meredith's response to I'm Afraid to Break up With Him/Holding on to Lost Expectations

You want to marry this guy? What? Please read your letter a few times -- out loud.

The part of your letter that interests me most, HOTLE, is this question: "Should I do the scary dating thing again?" I assume that�s why you're staying with good-old Henry. Dating was frightening. Maybe those nice guys ended relationships before you were ready.

Dating new people is scary, for sure, but not as scary as wasting time with someone you know isn't right for you. You don't want to marry Harry. You don't even want to keep dating him. I don't know if he's fantasizing about other women, but you're certainly fantasizing about the men you dated during your break from Henry.

You're not dating Henry's family. You're not dating the fictional Henry of the future. You're just dating someone who isn't making you very happy.

My advice is to get back out there with your awesome gym bod. And again, if you're feeling insecure about doing the right thing, read your letter aloud. Over and over.

Readers? Why is this difficult for her to see? Or am I wrong? Can you tell her something to make the "scary world out there" less scary?
