I see my boyfriend about two or three days a week, and we talk every night before we go to bed. I don't think having a relationship is a waste of time. We are building a foundation for a strong long-lasting relationship. I am planning my future with him.

I don't think it's a waste of time unless you think you don't want to be with them. Which in that case you shouldn't be going out with them if you feel this way. personally I do think that when you do get a significant other, it is yet another person who divides your time. I try to make time for my friends, family, work, school and once someone else gets added on it's more time of yours that you have to figure out how to divide that time properly. You don't want to start slacking on your friends and family just because you have someone new, and you definitely want to make sure that you have tiem for yourself and still do the things that you enjoyed doing before there was the boyfriend or girlfriend. most importantly you should never change for someone. If that person doesn't like you for who you are or wind up doing things that take away from your talent and personality, then you shouldn't be with them. You should only be with someone who brings out the best in you and shows your true personality. Didn't mean to get off the subject but sometimes love can be blind and you wind up hanging out with someone more than others and see that you are conforming to them. So that is why I say stay balanced with the time you spend with everyone and always try to make time for yourself so that you never forget who you are.

No, or you wouldn't be with them! When my fiance lived in the UK we would spend every weekend together and one night a week. Now he lives 5000 miles away I'm lucky if I see him every four months, so what time we have together is precious.

no. i do not think it is a waste of time as it is good ot have someone for company and share your joy and problems. it is more tedious if you find one who is possessive and demand you to spend majority of your time together with her and you would not have time for other activities and buddies. so the trick is to maintain a right balance and i can assure you that you will enjoy her company very much. when i was dating, i would spend about 2 days with my gf (1 on weekend and the other on 1 of the weekdays. the rest of the days i have to myself to do my own things or chill out with my buddies.

I love spending time with my boyfriend. I see him almost every day and I never get sick of him. He makes me happy and brings out the best in me. But it really depends on who you're with if you think it's a waste of time. I was with my ex-boyfriend for over 3 years and I just wasn't happy. Whenever I was with him I felt like I should be doing something else and I was just wasting my time with him. But looking back on past bad relationships just makes me appreciate my boyfriend even more! We're going on 2 years now and I hope it lasts forever!
