She is probably one of the most selfish, but also probably one of the best looking girls I have ever dated.  She is 2 years younger than me (23). She dated a younger guy (21 now) for 4 years before me.  She really doesn't know how to act in an adult relationship.  I always take the time to tell her how good she looks when she takes time getting prepared, call her just to see how her day was, and randomly text that I miss or love her.  Some of those things I would love to have in return.  We always do what she wants to do.  The last 2 weekends have been horrible because I wanted her to be happy, but we did stuff that was completely uninteresting to me.  She actually told me on the phone tonight that she has to do more stuff that SHE wants to do.  After I spent last weekend walking around the mall with her for hours and then going to an event at the fair on labor day that I had no interest in.  Whenever we are here at my house, we always watch what she wants on tv.  She absolutely hates horror movies and will refuse to watch one with me because she says they are stupid. But isn't that part of a relationship?  I do some stuff to make her happy that might not be enjoyable to me, (especially shopping at the mall.. that is almost the equivalent of torture to me), but I didn't complain or rush her.  Is it wrong to expect her to give a little as well?

God I love having a girlfriend, but it looks like it will be back to the single life again for me.  And the worst part is that my parents were questioning about why I have gone through so many girlfriends in the last couple years.  And I told them nooo... seriously this might be the one. So here I will be again having to explain another break-up.

Do you actually have intimate relations?  Or just kiss and cuddle some?

Women's looks are a depreciating asset.

A womans' character, however, is something that "is what it is"...good or bad.

Get yourself a woman who you will still be able to live with even when her looks fade...

I think the stereotype I always hear is correct.  The hotter the chic is the less relationship material she is 90% of the time.  That has been the case for me, the most attractive girls I have ever dated have been the most work to hold the relationship together.  And the average plain jane girls have treated me like a king.

F her dude, you'll find one that is into what you do someday, and the mall thing is over the top, my g/f would never expect me to walk around with her for hours on end in there, she knows the few times she can get me in there it's 45min max and OUT lol

Just because someone you don't like is aesthetically pleasing doesn't mean you should be miserable to be with them.

I always hear this but I've never had this experience. My worst relationships have been with the average-looking girls who were nice enough or we had enough in common for me to get interested in them. My two best relationships that also ended amicably (we realized we weren't really compatible on that level and returned to being friends) were with two very attractive girls.

There's an old 50s song that where the chorus starts with the line "My momma told me, You better shop around".  


Seriously though.  Tell her how you feel without being negative.  Tell her the things that are important to you and that you want tofind a way to make sure both of you are happy.  

No accusations of "you're selfish" etc.  Just calm caring statements of what's important to you and why she is important to you and that you want to make sure your relationship grows on a foundation of mutual caring, respect and communication.  

By that point either you or she will shove a Dr. Phill book up the other one's ass and eject.  

Or you'll talk things out and get married and raise lots of rug rats for those overbearing parents of yours to spoil and tell you how to raise.

How does that work?  Like, if she's a 10, it would be OK if she sold one of your kidneys without your permission, but you wouldn't put up with that shit from a 7?

She doesn't have time for you or care about your needs at all. I'm sure her description of the last boyfriend was fair and accurate....

The only reason she was single and talking to you is because he got tired of putting up with her shit.
