What is too serious (not sexually) for a teenage relationship?

Question

I'm in a good relationship, and the guy is great. I've been with him for a year and a half and things aren't better or worse than since we started dating. Problem is, I overanalyse things a bit too much, and now I think I should end things with this guy because I'm too young.

This boyfriend is kind, caring, loving, etc etc except I think that it might just be time to end it. I'm in high school. I don't want to look back and regret it because I 'settled' for a decent guy. Now, I've been thinking about a different guy for a very long time (a lot), and everything about my bf annoys me. I keep telling myself that trying things out with others isn't worth losing a 'catch', but what if he isn't the catch for me? What if he is just a really nice guy and that's why we've worked out (since I'm not exactly Miss Happy)?

I hate hurting people, and there has been twice in the past when I've almost broken up with him, but he begged and I changed my mind. What should I do? Heart/Gut or Head?

Answer 1

What is "too serious" for a certain age is a matter of perspective. However, keep in mind--condescending as this may sound--that your brain's ability to make accurate judgments about the consequences of your actions is NOT fully developed at your age. As such, I'd suggest not doing anything which will have a profound effect on your future.

Aside from that, if you're happy with a guy, then stick with him; if not, try to work it out with him; if you can't work it out with him, then end the relationship. Isn't that what will benefit you most?

This is what my gf did to me, how can you girls just stop feeling the same about someone who loves you and cares about you and is really nice to you, you want to try different things i guess and get with different ppl well if i was you i would strongly think it over cause it really does hurt us i mean expescialy once you make someone your everything for so long and they just leave like that, if there is something that you dont like about your bf talk to him about it maybe yall should just spend about a week away from each other and you will c how bad you love each other, why do girls just change there mind like this about someone??? can you tell me that. you mite regret it later in life when your with someone who hits you and could care less about you when you have someone great at the time who would love you no matter what cause you have been together so long its really going to hurt him if you do this and i am not saying what you can and can't do but i would really think about it first cause you could be making a mistake life is crazy and if you just dont like something about him talk to him about it well just really think about this ok well hope i could help

Answer 3

if you are thinking of someone else, you are cheating on him. so be nice, break it off and move on. be thankful you live in a culture that encourages doing just that at your age...

Try to follow your gut instinct.
