Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

I can only answer number 1While it's romantic and all to say you're waiting for someone to feel the same way as you do it can become very tiresome and weigh greatly on your mind, when you could be doing other things far more productive.
I myself waited around three years for a guy to realise that he loved me - on and off as we drifted in and out of each others lives - not a continual 'He WILL love me and we'll have puppies and he will buy me roses and pretty shiny things' - and once I got him I realised that he wasn't what I wanted and it took a further two years to get rid of him. I'd built up such an ideal picture of him in my head that he could do no wrong, but of course he was human and fallible, so even the first time I found out he cheated on me I was able to dismiss it out of hand as he was this perfect guy who possessed such charm that it was all ok again within a week.
So I'd weigh up the pros and cons of this guy and decide for myself if he is indeed worth waiting for and for how long. Failing that give him an ultimatum of how you feel and how if he doesn't feel the same as you and isn't likely to then maybe you should both forget about it.
