I love to be myself

I was in a relationship with a gorgeous girl. I love her but I don't feel myself. I want to be single and to do what I want when I feel this. I thought a lot about this thing and I made everything for her to not suffer. But I can't do this because she think that is her fault. Isn't like this. I think I'm not a man who can involve in a relantionship. I don't know why. Problably is my age. I'm still young and I want to party, to flirt, to make everything a teeneger do and this girl isn't this type. I'm wrong if I think like that? Did you feel the same? Did this happened to you ?

I think that you are really not ready to have a commitment coz you you'd rather be all over the place than be tied with a girlfriend. Well, that's okay. Not all guys at your age would really want to have a steady partner. You don't need to rush anyway. just enjoy life.

Its good that you know what things that you want, as well as do not want at this time in your life.I feel that there are people that stay stuck in a relationship, as they do not know how to end it, so that means that they are being untruthful to them self, as well as the other person.

I really feel you're not mature enough for a relationship. I don't mean it as offence, but as a fact. Teenagers always feel like this, they don't usually feel the need the settle down, they want more to have fun and live an exciting life. At least you took your girlfriend into consideration, and told her this and broke up before you flirted again, I respect you for that.

Being that way sounds like the best for you. At least you made the decision to be that way. Have a great week there.

its good to be true being who you are but sometimes we should consider other things and not only for our self think the consequence,anything that is to much is bad

When I was young I was forever wishing I had a loving partner, it is true what they say becareful what you wish for! Well after two really bad relationships now I prefer to be single, I am very independent, I like to go where I want, do what I want and when I want without having to be tied down or give in to compromise. I love being single and wouldn't have it any other way.

puiuioandaniel To me you sound like you have not finished growing up and maturing.you are young and you do need to enjoy yourself and flirt and have fun while growing up. but do not try to keep a relationship with a girl until you are a bit older and more mature. After all once in a relationship most girls want to be your one and only.you are not ready yet so have fun and be young first

You maybe right. You probably are too young for a serious relationship. It is a good thing to let your partner know that you are not able to be in the relationship. The sooner the better. Be careful though. She might be the perfect one for you. Loving someone demands patience and understanding. There will be sacrifices along the way.

I guess that you may not love this girl then. Once you are really falling in love with someone, you may give up these partying things. Or maybe like what you said, you are still young, unknown the the feeling of loving someone so much, so that is not your fault, nor your girlfriend's fault. It was just you both have different hobbies, and different preference. Try to work it out, and talk to her that you are just like these. Hopefully you both can work it out.

I was close with a guy before but I decided I won't continue into serious relationship because I love to be myself and I don't like when someone try to stop me from being me, what I mean to be myself is that he should not try to doctrine me with what he thinks he believe (example man is superior than woman, woman should obey the man but not vice versa, woman should report all her activity to her man, etc). I don't like this guy who kept texting me to ask why I don't reply to his message when I'm actually at work or class. I do know being single and being in relationship are two different things. It doesnt mean that we are not being ourself when we are in a relationship, we can still be ourself but of course we also need to respect our partner. There are things that I must not do when I'm in relationship for example flirting other guy, I don't see what's the point why I need to flirt other when I'm in relationship it's like giving false hope and hurt the other guy also hurt my partner.

Congrats for your decision to stop that relationship. You are totally right, Then, I know that flirting with another person when oyu are in a couple is without sense but I don't think about that. I want to feel "free", me and myself, and this is the reason for stopping my ex relationship

Its alwa good to be true to yourself...Now if you can say that you can't do this because of your age, you are propably right. After all who knows you better than you know yourself.. make a decision and stick with it...

I've heard it said that women are ready for marriage when the right guy comes along and men are ready for marriage when the time is right. Rejection is always hard, but it's better than being in a relationship with someone who doesn't want to be in it.

you are still young, you want to go be single go partying and enjoy yourself whilst you are still young, you need to tell her you are not ready for commitment at this time and maybe hang out as friends, the last thing you want to do is give her false hope, just be truthful and say you are not ready for a full term relationship and want to be friends, xx
