All I can say is it took my wife 14 years to come to the same place you are at right now. believe me it will be a lot easier breaking the ties now than it would if you get married and have kids. also it will be easier on him. if you do care for him and you feel that he is not the one, maybe you should break it off. that's just my opinion from being on the other side of the situation. hope you make the right decision.

You are so young. You have a whole life ahead of you with a lot of diiferent experiences coming your way. If you're not sure he's the one suggest taking a break from each other for a certain amount of time and then see what feelings you are having. Take care and good luck.

Slow slow slow is the best advice I can give. Listen to these little voices, they are very important. Nobody says you have to break-up, you just need to pull back a little. If I have any regrets, it would be choosing to move in with my girl friend. She later became my wife and then after 13 years my ex-wife. I firmly believe if we had not moved in together we would have stayed friends and the relationship would have drifted. By moving in we felt like we had few options except to stay together and ultimately get married.

We often use simple words like love but I think it is so much bigger then 1 word. If you are choosing a life mate, they should be your friend, you should feel safe, secure, appreciated, respected and loved. Don't rush any of this. Best of luck.

I would ask him for it back!

And see about getting that eye back too.

I like the title, "around" love.

Go with your gut kiddo, the gut always knows. ;)

Deggar I dead on agree with you about moving in. In my hindsight is 20/20 view of things, this was a biggie.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
