Guy pal of mine needs help...

Let me first explain this question I’m asking is not for me…this is a pal of mine. The guy needs some advice, and one I get responses, I’m going to let him read them…

Here’s the question:

“I have a girlfriend who I love a lot! We’ve been dating now for over two years, and we really get along great!!! We’ve never had a fight, I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Here’s the problem…my dad…well…he thinks I need to date around a bit. He thinks I’m too commited to one person. Now, I love this girl with all that I am. She means the world to me…but I don’t think I’ll be proposing anytime soon. We’re both still really busy with school and work…and it’s just not the best idea right now. I think my dad is worried I haven’t seen the world enough to make a informed decision on where my life is going.”

“to set the recrod straight…I do not want to cheat on my girlfriend, ever. She’s too precious to me. But does my dad have something? Am I too commited to something, even though I have no plans to propose for at least a couple years? Before this girlfriend I dated three other girls, and none of the relationships lasted longer then a year…but she’s different…I just…I love her so much. “

“as a side question, do you girls think it’s considered “leading you on” by staying in a long relationship with out the promise of a proposal? I’d never considered it wrong, I always thought it was healthy to get to know a girl before getting married, but what do you girls think?”

Thanks for any help in advance.

Answer #1

I get the same problems from my parents. In the end though it isn’t about what they want, it’s about what makes you happy. I just won’t be happy dating “around” and your friend sounds like he doesn’t either so he shouldn’t.

And no it isn’t considered “leading you on” if you stay in a long relationship without a proposal. After all, that shouldn’t be WHY you are in the relationship in the first place.

Answer #2

maybe not too comminted but, only being with one girl your entire life could get a bit dull and I’m not saying break up with her but you’ll regret it in the future if you have only ever been with one girl and not shopped around abit when you were young and had the chance.
