myfatsym Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 So, I've been going out with my girlfriend for about 10-11 months now. We started dating after prom last year, and prom is coming up this year. During this whole time, I have never really felt that she has done a lot to express her interest in me, she does not like to cuddle, she rarely expresses an opinion and avoids confrontation. For me, our relationship is boring, and frankly, I think she has the emotional depth of a cookie sheet. Normally, ending this situation would be ideal. But prom is coming up. What should I do?
Author myfatsym Posted March 15, 2009 Author Posted March 15, 2009 No, I haven't spent any money on prom yet. Let me clarify: she is still fun to hang around with. We have always been the "best friends" couple that has a steady relationship that people envy. Yet it never seems to go anywhere, and I'm not talking about sex. The relationship would end soon anyways because of graduation and the fact that we will both be going to different schools in different states for college. Maybe I'm just being picky because I feel that our relationship is coming to a close, but as a whole, it is just annoying.
SoulSearch_CO Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 So you're wondering about keeping her around as your guaranteed date to the prom? The whole prom thing isn't clear, but that may be because once you're out of high school, prom really isn't as important as it seemed IN HS. Maybe you could sit her down and be honest. If she's such a good friend, she'd understand your feelings about wanting to break up. Who knows - maybe she's bored too and there's somebody she'd rather go to prom with - you could be doing her a favor. But anyway, you could tell her how you're feeling (ah, hell, blame it on college coming up) and that you think it'd be best to part ways. But if you're wanting her to go to prom with you still, you could tell her that. Honest and open communication, I would think, would be welcome at any age. You never know - the girl may want to sow her wild oats before heading off to the summer before college but just doesn't want to rock the boat. Why can't people just talk to each other any more?
St. Nick Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Take her to prom and then dump her afterward. That seems harsh but love can be cruel.
