Hi,
I've been dating a guy for a year and a half now. We've known each other for 5 years and ee're both in our early 30s.
He is a very handsome, very reliable guy, pretty serious though, very helpful, well-organized, he likes to plan things ahead, keeps things very orderly, so he has a lot of qualities that I appreciate. We can organize ourselves very well to solve daily problems around the house.
However, ever since I've started dating him I don’t recall learning much from him. I mean, of course, I learned to appreciate calm evenings and a warm and calm heart. But I am a different kind of person. I am an avid reader, I listen to a lot of music, I like to watch a lot of movies, I like learning a lot, I am currently planning my own business. I spend all my time doing something that improves my knowledge or enlightens my spirit. He likes browsing the internet, repairing things or just going to bed. We don’t have actually many hobbies in common.
I started getting bored of our life routine and now I suffer every day. Before him, I used to date a guy who taught me so many things and showed me so many amazing things in life and I miss that.
Is there a way to wake my boy up and make him understand ‘hey, life is short’, let’s do something amazing? Sometimes I feel like I should take a break from this relationship and find someone closer to my spirit. I've tried telling him that I feel pretty bored, but nothing changed. How long should I still wait?
