**Dear Wendyl,
I’ve been a bachelor for five years ever since my wife of 22 years left me. I’ve tried to meet other women, but no-one has ever really impressed me. My friends say I am being too fussy. Recently, I started dating this lovely lady and we have a nice time, but she’s just not quite right. There are some things about her which don’t work, but others are good (such as sex). I’m worried that I might get myself into a relationship I’ll regret later on, so think that maybe I should call it off. Do you think I should?**

Dear Dave,
Don’t call it off just because of a few little niggles. Let’s get one thing straight: this woman is not your wife, no-one can match her exactly. Who knows?
She may be better and more exciting than your wife if you just give her a chance. Throw caution to the wind, because what else will you be doing except sitting at home on your own, watching TV and feeling sorry for yourself? Have some fun and open up to new experiences. I promise that you won’t regret it. **
