Be honest with him. Always the best route
Respond with yes and watch him run. :)
Following. With popcorn :) good luck!
Don’t! date! @! work! I think nothing good came out of that ever.
It’s the fair and good thing for you to do if you don’t think he is the one or aren’t looking to get married. Honesty and respect is the way to go, but that doesn’t mean it will be easy for him... (or you). John Gray’s book - Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, etc., may have some suggestions. Good luck.
If you really like him and think one day y’all might get there, I think you should talk about it and be honest. If you know you don’t want to be serious with him, breakup now
Thanks for the advice guys! I’m going to probably have a solid talk with him tomorrow and hope for the best.
Just mention that you aren’t at a place where you can commit to that. If he has more ambitious goals (from being older or otherwise), then he may decide to continue dating.
No reason why this can’t be civil - if it gets weird, major red flag anyway. Marriage or even a long term, committed relationship has a higher threshold than ‘fun’ and ‘getting along.’ What you both want out of the relationship and differing feelings on marriage is a pretty big, valid and non-personal reason to breakup
OP, as someone who's gone through the same situation, honestly will devastate him but is the best.dont try and stay friends after. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. I know how suffocating it can be when you care about someone but just aren't at the place they are at. I wish you the best of luck!
I hate to bring this up but it will also damage you in the process. It may not seem like it now but the after effects will be long lasting. Don't make the mistake of ignoring it and pretending all is well though; I believe the healing takes longer when you don't acknowledge what the split has done to you
Again, good luck. Wish we had a support group/Fishbowl for people going through this.
We’ve been dating a year and it’s he’s a lot of fun- I just don’t feel the same commitment / as serious.
Do you think you would ever feel that and just aren’t there yet, or just wouldn’t ever feel that way?
He is older and like super ready to settle down. I feel like I might feel like that in a year or two but he has suddenly been putting a LOT of pressure on me to commit to this idea of his for a marriage, house, timeline etc. It just kind of gives me fear. I realize I can’t just have fun all the time and not think about the future but I wish we were more on the same place on this.
Ah- I gotta get that book! Thank you!!
Omgosh EY1- Thank you!! I’m glad to not be the only one, and that actually is how I feel. I care about him as a person and he’s so much fun, but I just don’t see us as a long term thing unfortunately. Wish I did. And yeah, I sadly realize we aren’t going to be friends after this.
