WOMANHESITATES TO REVEALSECRET LOVE FORCOLLEAGUE

DEAR ABBY:

I am a single woman in my early 30s who has never been married. I recently fell in love with a wonderful man with whomI spend a great deal of time. He is unawareof the intensity of my feelings,

and I’m afraid of telling him out of fear of rejection.

There are a couple of additional concerns: He is 15 years my seniorand a medical doctor. I am a

social worker in a lower economic class. In addition, we are of different religions, but we have similar spiritual beliefs and values. He is also my co-worker.

I am very interested in pursuing a deeper relationshipwith this man, but would like to hear your

advice first. Thank you for your thoughtson this.
