Should I stay in this relationship?

Asked by all4him39 (26points) June 2nd, 2010

Okay, so there is this really sweet guy that I met at my church, and he told me he liked me and what not.. and I sort of told him I like him too even though I am not sure if I do (my mistake) So today at youth group he made me a bracelet and asked me out.. and I just said sure. But I’m not sure I’m ready for a relationship. I’m scared to tell my parents, and he is talking about going on dates and stuff.. and I’m afraid he’ll be really clingy. What should I do? Stick with it and see what happens or what?

You are not yet in a relationship so the question you have asked is a bit premature. If you like him, you control how much you invest. You need a lot more experience before making a decision.

Take a chance, you live once. Whats the worse that can happen? So what if he’s clingy, just let him know- its not the end of the world. see what happens if you’re not into it, dump him. Life is full of amazing opportunity’s, you’ll regret it if you don’t try it out. You don’t know anything until you try it.

Will your parents let you date? Do you want to go on a date with him? If yes to those two questions, go out with him. If he is clingy, correct those actions that you don’t like, but do it gently. Maybe he is so new to dating that he doesn’t really know how to act and needs your input on his actions.

Is this the same guy you mentioned in your last question? Dating is your opportunity to get to know him better to see if you would like to be in a relationship. If you are interested in getting to know him better and your parents will allow you to date, why not see what happens. Even if it doesn’t develop into a relationship, you will learn things about yourself in the process (like what you like and don’t like about people you are dating). Good luck!

He asked you for date…not your hand in marriage.

It’s helpful if you don’t see every date as an engagement…see it as two people having some fun and getting to know each other better.

I know that many younger girls turn down guys upfront because they dread having to stop dating them after a few dates. Awkward.

But, really, it’s okay if you date them a few times and things don’t work out and you honestly tell them so and move on.

Well at this stage you are only going out with him on a date. If you enjoy his company then let the relationship blossom. If you find you don’t have anything in common, then you can always explain why it is not working out, then you can move on.

Your must be around 13. You don’t have an idea of what a relationship is yet. Going on a date does not lock you into one. Talk to your mom about what is appropriate for spending time with this boy that you might like but you aren’t sure who may or may not want to go on dates and that you think might be clingy.

@perspicacious She says 14 in a previous question

@all4him39 Since you are seeing a boy at school and a boy at church, I would say you aren’t in a relationship so much as dating around, which is perfectly normal for a girl your age. Just enjoy the companionship of your friends and don’t rush into anything.

You sound so ambivalent about the idea of a relationship. You should definitely not drift into one. Tell him that he is moving too quickly for you. That you want to take your time to make sure how you feel about him before dating.
