Dear Abby

Dear Abby, 

I don't know what to do! My boyfriend and I have been dating for over two years, but I feel like he doesn't really love me. He rarely asks me out anymore: We don't go to restaurants, or shows. He doesn't buy me even the smallest of presents. I love him, but I think he's taking me for granted. What should I do?

 -Worried About Love

• The letters have a common structure

1. They begin with a salutation, greeting(Dear Abby, Classmate etc.).
2. The writer provides a brief background to set up his/her problem.
3. The writer briefly describes the dilemma s/he faces.
4. The writer asks a question of the columnist. (What should I do?)
5. The letter is often signed with some sort of anonymous, catchy phrase rather than the person's name. (Worried About Love)

Response

Dear Worried About Love:

I think it's clear from your description that your boyfriend doesn't really love you. Two years is not such a long time to be dating, and the fact that he treats you like a toy he can ignore speaks volumes about his true feelings. Get out of the relationship as fast as you can! There are many more wonderful men out there who will appreciate, and treasure your love - don't waste it on an oaf who clearly has no clue as to your worth!

This is what you would say when you are in the shop, explaining why you are returning the shirt.

A -------------------> B        Home -----------------> Store

Implies movement TOWARDS something.

- My shirt didn't fit so I had to take it back to the shop.

This is what you tell a friend later, when you are no longer at the shop.
