    Should I go?

    Hello, i've been in a very stable and serious relationship for 3 years now and I am currently 21 years old. I am very happy with my girlfriend but I feel I want maybe some more freedom and to meet other people. I have not seen her do anything wrong as she is the nicest person ever. I truly love her but sometimes I meet people and would in the corner of my mind wish I was single so I could go on a date. My Gf is really nice though but sometimes I wish she was more open and outgoing. We talked about it and she says that she just can't be like that even if I see that she is definitely trying. I love her very much now but I feel like I am looking for something else. The problem is that I don't know if I will find somebody as good as her or better than her. We are also living together and none of us will be able to move out until next year if we break up. Furthermore I know she would be devastated by us breaking up (and I know I would be too). I want to try to work it out and many of the things she does make me want to stay with her but at the same time I want to be adventurous. Please tell me what you think. THanks

    You can talk to her about something like seeing if its ok if you hang out with other girls, just don't cheat on her, maybe have it like a mixture of girls and guys your hanging out with, but it sounds like you have something going good with her, so don't ruin it, she may be the one for you. So just be yourself and what not.

    If you feel like you're not satisfied with the relationship, then you should break up; if your needs aren't being met, you should definitely break up. But to me, it sounds like you're a happy camper with an early 7 year itch. I think that if you broke up with her, you'd get your temporary pleasure and satisfaction, but if you'd leave someone you really love for that, you're really going to regret it.

    I really wouldn't break up with her unless you know what you want/need, and are not getting that.

    Or does insanity only occur in your generation?

    You're thinking about throwing away a relationship and a girlfriend you love on spec?...just on the chance that you can make "best" a little better?

    Really, guy, think. That's the definition of crazy.
    When in trouble,
    Or in doubt,
    Run in circles,
    Scream and shout.

    There's always something better. If you continue to seek it, you'll stay single forever.
    I don't chase, I replace.

    If you really love your girlfriend, you wouldn't be making this post. Be content with what you have or else you might lose everything.
    love is the best thing in the whole world.

    o please the guy is 21 yrs old!!

    just don't be selfish about it, think it through, but you can't have it both ways, you either want to be with her or you don't.

    Do not try to have your cake and eat it.

    Usually after 1.5-2 years the passion from the beginning of the relationship fades and you start noticing the other persons flaws. This is normal.

    But there's a difference between wondering every now and then if she's the right one and waking up everyday and wondering if shes the right one. If you wonder every now and then that's normal, if you feel like this everyday then you have a real problem.
