Okay! My problem is that my boyfriend and I have been dating about two months, well evertime we are together he talks about starting his own buisness in the oil field! Well I am really starting to get fustrated with him cause that is the only thing he ever wants to talk about! I know that he has to make his living, but we are dating and he should make time for me to right? What should I do about it? Please help me!

I know its not the greatest topic..but hey its different right? Hopefully he'll go with it and talk about something else for a change. If he doesnt..then thats a problem. If he ignores your gesture for a new topic and goes on with the oil field thing..its time to confront him. Maybe he doesnt realize its bothering you? Ask "can we talk about something else? im really happy your so determined..but its all we've been talking about."
I hope it works out..if he doesnt catch on after awhile i would think about dumping him. Hopefully it wont get to that though.

random.. but it would spark some interest.. unless you guys are cat people like me.. but a lot of people prefer dogs..
