Alright, so me and my boyfriend dated for a year and he is the best boyfriend i have ever had. We also have the same interests and want the same things. The only thing is I'm 26 with a kid and he just turned 20. He is head over heels for me but I broke up with him in July cause I didn't feel the same. I love him an awful lot but I don't know if I'm "in love" with him any more...and I know I want him in my life and i maybe to continue "seeing" him but at the same time I think if we are not together in serious relationship I will be hurting him b/c part of me wants and has been talking to other guys just to figure my stuff out. The last guy I talked to I REALLY liked but it fizzled fast...and a guy I'm talking to now basically is just something nice to look and I have an incredible attraction to him even though alot of other things about him turn me off. For example, he is not a good kisser, he doesn't pay attention well when we talk face to face (he has A.D.D). I always find myself comparing these new guys to my ex and they never add up. So I guess my question is what the heck do I do? I know I am risking losing my ex all together but I don't think I'm ready to commit to him again. Am I expecting too much out of relationship b/c I don't feel that overwhelming yearning for him and I'm not excited to see him??? I love spending time with him and I believe he would be a great companion and life partner...but also he is only 20 and I feel he has so much to learn and he's going to change so much that does he REALLY know what he wants??? If I'm 26 and I'm still confused about this I don't think there is any way he knows what he is doing! How can he know for sure I am the one he wants to be with? So many questions..any help would be great!!!
