Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My heart is smashed into tiny pieces. I finally got to start dating a guy I have always been crazy about — my older brother’s best friend — with amazing sex and all. I was in heaven.

We went out for three weeks and I got a little too drunk and just spilled it after one morning of lovemaking and a big breakfast I made. I said, "Finally. I’ve waited 10 years for this. I’ve been in love with you since I was 12. Now we are finally together and we can make it real."

He looked horrified and said it was too heavy for him and it wasn’t really serious for him: "I had no intention of anything aside from a little fun with you and a joke on your brother, you know, getting it on with his baby sister now she’s all grown up. Haha!"

I started crying, got dressed and ran out of the house.

I wasted 10 years of my life loving him. Every other guy was just a fill-in until he finally came to me. I knew he would one day because my love was so strong it would be a magnetic pull.

Well, he had his fun with me and got a good laugh on my brother, I guess, but I am devastated. There’s half a summer to get through and now it’s not going to be with him. I have loved him so much. I don’t know how I’ll get over this. How do I survive the pain? — Shattered, Winnipeg
