短短两个月能否让你充分了解对方？还是你心中抱有太多的幻想？仔细想想看，爱情容易使头脑发热，使你的眼前出现幻境。。。

Hey Steven,

I'm currently involved in a new relationship and I was hoping that you could provide some insight. About two months ago, I started dating my ( a )现任女友, Gloria.

I come from a preppy background (I'm an Ivy League university graduate) and Gloria is from a somewhat lower-class background. Her parents were immigrants and everyone in her family is a （ b ）蓝领工人. This is the only truly noticeable difference between us. Despite this, Gloria is wonderful to me and I couldn't be happier with her. She does lots of things for me -- including cook! How rare is that? Anyway, things have been going really well for us.

But Steven, Gloria's （ c ）生活很艰难 Her stepfather physically abused her for 10 years, she's been homeless, old boyfriends have treated her like crap, etc. She projects a hardened, bad-ass image in public, and only reveals her soft, caring interior to me.

she really likes me

To me, that's a sign that she really does care for me. She's been very expressive of her feelings, telling me that I'm wonderful almost every day. I've been expressive of my feelings toward her too, but with some guarded caution.

So the "I love you"s have not been exchanged yet. I'm pretty much spending every night at her place (except for two to three days a week when I'm out of town). I do a lot for her around the house, compliment her, spend quality time snuggling, hugging, and so forth. Steven, I'm ready to exchange an "I love you," because that's how I feel about her.

But... （ d ）有些事情一直使我犹豫不决, and I think it's because of that class difference I mentioned. I worry that somehow the difference in her background will come out and （ e ）对我们的关系有负面影响 somewhere down the road when we're deeply involved.

I wanna say I love you

So I guess my question is this: considering the discrepancies in our backgrounds and the progress we've made in the last two months, where do I go from here? Can a difference in backgrounds ever be overcome?

I know your feelings on the "I love you" issue -- i.e. who should say it first -- and I somewhat agree. But in this instance, we're not talking about the typical girl, if there is such a thing.

I really do love this girl, Steven. Despite the fact that it's only been two months, we've spent lots of great time together and she has treated me better than any girl I've ever been with.

I look forward to hearing what you have to say.
