Question Posted Thursday September 9 2010, 11:40 pm
Hi, I am 18f. I have a boyfriend the same age. We have been dating for three months, but I have known him for six. He is the first guy I have dated and he makes me feel like no other guy has made me feel. He is caring, honest, he listens, and he is just a nice guy. He lives almost an hour away though and even though he makes time to see me.. I have my doubts. I mean, he is good to me... but we don't have too much in common. We don't care for eachothers music (which gets annoying) and we do not have the same interests at all.. how can this work? Should we just be friends? I keep thinking I should stay with him cause he is so good to me, but then I wonder why I am with him if we don't have many common interests..?. Should I stay with him until I meet someone who I can relate to more? Or is that wrong? :/ Please answer all my questions, thanks

If you break up with him you can meet a guy that have a lot of different views and things as well... If he is a nice guy like you say he is then my advice is to stick it out... I think you two need to draw some sort of line... Don't get stubborn but learn to support each other in what you both like... Sometimes even though you don't like his music or movies or whatever... Just sit down and watch them with him sometimes... And make sure he does the same to support what you like... That's a relationship for you... Relationships are about making sacrifices... And that's on both ends.
Don't give up yourself to please a guy... And make sure he dosen't either because at the end of the day you guys will become bitter and unhappy... And you're still young honey... And this may just be one relationship out of many you may have... Or you can be with your soulmate.. Who knows... Anyway learn from this experience and if need be apply it to your next relationship...
My honest opinion is to stick it out... Trust me I had my fair share of relationships... And some was ok some wasn't... And if you have a good guy stick with him... Work out your differences... You may wonder what else is out there... But theres not to many good men out there... And sometimes it's hard to find another good person who will stick with you threw stick and thin... Opposites attract so I will continue to keep giving my relationship a try...

You dont know how another guy would treat you because you've never been with one. So maybe he isnt treating you as well as you think. And there are a lot of people in relationships that have nothing in common. The music thing is a hard one, but when your in his car listen to his music. And when he's in your car listen to yours. If your not in your car often, ask him if you guys could listen to what you like for just a while. I think that you should stay with him, i dont know much about eiher of you but he sounds like he'd be a good boyfriend. If your comfortable with it talk to him about this and tell him how your feeling. Then you guys could work on it together as a couple!
Hope i helped("

She lives 2 hours away and now she keeps telling me she wants to just date me right now and get to know me more blah blah blah and honestly im like its a little late for that.....I love you. Im basically just finding her to not be the same as when I met her and its really hurting me and breaking my heart. Now for your answer I would give him and your relationship or whatever it is between you two more time and see where it leads because thats what im doing with my situation. Just needs time.
