The man in this poem was masculine and very sweet by expressing his feelings for the woman he speaks about. He explains how he wants to be with her but is he man enough to actually marry her since she is just his mistress?
The word mistress has several connotations, all of which are not necessarily negative. But if she is his mistress, is expecting the speaker, the man to marry her, too much to ask as it seems the case with the American man and girl in "Hills Like White Elephants"?
