I'm starting to get frustrated...


Question Posted Wednesday September 21 2005, 4:34 pm

So I'll be dating my current boyfriend for three months a week from today. He's the first boyfriend I've had that I can honestly say I really loved. The problem? Things are just getting annoying and boring. When we first started dating, he would do all these cute things with me, like whenever I joke around and try to fall he'll run and catch me... just little things like that. But I'm starting to wonder if he takes everything too seriously. If we're arguing about something little, I'll joke around and say "Take it back or I'll fall over!" And he'll get this seriously sad look on his face and whimper "No..." He can never take a joke it seems and I'm starting to get annoyed with it. I guess I just want him to act more mature. After all he is 19 and he could be acting more mature than he has been lately. I don't really want to consider breaking up with him right now, so is there any other suggestions you have on fixing this first?

Signed, Annoyed But In Love

i'm sorry if i haven't been more specific... i guess what i'm trying to say is i want him to stop acting all cutesy because he takes it way too far out of proportion. i've been trying to give him a break on this because this is his first real relationship and i wonder if that may have something to do with how he has been acting.

i'll probably get a low rating or somethin for this but w/e

by the way your sayin this it sounds like you want him to act less mature not more mature

acting cute and sayin all that stuff is immature not mature just thought you ought to know

(a 14 year old guy just said this lol)

Tell him you are annoyed.

People can't fix problems they don't know are there.

Chances are, based on your discription, he isn't completely happy either. So listen to what he has to say and consider your own behavoir as well.

You can try as many little signals and mind games as you like, but in the end, if you don't talk about it, you'll never really get anywhere.

Hey sweetheart! Listen. Guys make an effort to "Impress" the ladies in the beginning. If you two really like each other, then tell him you miss how things were. But don't sound too pushy.Guys hate being told what to do.If confronting him like that doesn't work, then maybe you guys shouldn't associate as much.When you don't talk as much, you miss each other and the relationship grows.I'm not saying you should ignore him, but just be extremely nice and act like nothing bothers you! Your tough girl! Don't let him make things boring! You got this!

Its very common to get tiredsome of a strong relationship. It actually happens to every couple. They think that when you're with this person every second, minute, and hour, they'll be happy forever, but thats far from the truth. The best thing you can do is ask him if something has had him upset lately, or if hes feeling different about your status, (in your relationship.) If he can't think of anything, or has no idea whats going on, I think that will imply that maybe you should take some time away from each other. Not really break up, but a small break to catch up on other things in your life. When you're away from each other, and come back later, he'll really miss you enough to not argue with you, and he'll miss "catching" you. I don't think at all there should be a break up. You both are still in a healthy relationship, this is not something you should give up on. You're going to feel annouyed a lot of other times with him, so let this be a practice to you.

Being 19 doesn't mean he's magically mature now. Maybe he doesn't like you being all cutesy all the time.
