Hi I am 18f. I have a boyfriend that is the same age. He is respectful, understanding, loving, and the first nice guy I have really known. I have known him for five months and we have been dating for the last two of those. Before him, I used to think that I should always be single, just be friends, and not date. This is because dating can be complicated and all the guys I have known are jerks. Also, I have been hurt to many times by people in the past.
He lives 35min away from me, we talk almost everyday, and he comes to see me whenever he can. He has a warm heart, open arms, and I have never felt this way towards a guy before. He makes me smile.
He is the kind of guy where I just want to be friends with him, yet I feel like I want to be with him for a very long time. He does have a huge flaw that I don't know if I can get by. He doesn't love some things that I love.. and it makes me question whether he is the guy for me. I know you have to look past flaws, but this ones hard. Also, I know I should live in the moment, but I keep thinking that I might be doing the wrong thing, maybe cuz its new... I am just unsure. Please tell me what you think, thanks

I think that this guy sounds amazing. The way you describe, I dont know, I think you can just tell that you are really falling for this guy. The fact that he doesn't like the same things you like is actually normal. I mean guys and girls have different interests unless the things you like and he doesnt is your family or somthing big like that, then I think you shouldn't be too turned off by the fact that you don't have the same interests. I honestly think that you might just be subcontionsly scaring yourself out of this relationship because you've been hurt before. But I'm not you and I don't know whats in your heart. You have to make the ultimate decision if you want to continuing dating this guy. I hope everything works out!

Well I think if you really like this guy and everything , you should look past whatever it is , and whatever it is/was just put it back in the past , do not worry about it , flaw's are important , but just because he does not like something's that you like , does not mean you are doing the wrong thing and having a relationship. It might be because you wanted to be friends with him , though you were longing and wanting him. You might have mixed emotions for him , and that is totally fine. Also , the fact that your new at this , you might not be so steady right now since , you do not like dating and have been hurt. My advice to you is that just because you are not that steady with this , it does not mean you are doing the wrong thing. It is great you are starting out somewhere trying to figure out , it show's you care. You should let him know that , all of it what you just said , it might clear up somethings. I think if you guys really like eachother , you will look past the flaw or flaws.
