DEAR CONFUSED: It’s possible that this is a subconscious compulsion on her end, and bringing it to her attention will be all it takes to fix it. It’s also possible that she is on the fence about a serious commitment. Either way, you need to initiate a conversation to get to the bottom of it.

I’ve been thinking about asking her to move in with me but I have one big concern. After chatting with the person, we start walking toward our destination, and she quickly begins holding my hand again.

I’m currently dating a woman who I met at a work seminar two years ago. We are both in our mid-60s, have good jobs and are head over heels about each other. Neither of us have kids — her because she can’t and me because my ex didn’t want them.
