BIG dilemma- what to do?

ok u guys, here’s the deal:

so what would u do if were in a relationship with a guy, and u both really liked eachother, but then u suddenly came to a realization that u should not be dating in the first place (especially for people that are young). it’s not easy to tell him that you’re just suddenly quitting the relationship. and what if u two really consider getting a bit more serious about it, but u go to the guy and tell him that u are longer dating until you reach a certain age…but you’re afraid that if u tell him to wait for u, that he might go out and find some other girl.

so, basically, my question is:

how would you tell your bf /gf that you don’t want to be dating anymore (maybe because you’re simply too young, or u want to get finished with studies first), without making him think that you’re trying to avoid him. (and also that he won’t go get with some other girl while he’s “waiting” for you)?

hmmm...:-| interesting :-|

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

phati...you give me some advice. what do you think should be done in this situation? :)

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

Well, Impulse. Quite frankly, I honestly don't know. :)

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

well if he really loves you in the first place then he should wait and wouldn't go get another girl. but if in that process he does go to another girl then you should know it wasn't meant to be and he wasn't as deeply in love as you were with him. cuz think about it, if you're willing to wait and not go for anyone else then shouldn't he do the same??

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

^^ yea, but i believe impulse's question is "how would you tell this to the guy that you like, that you want to take things a bit slower for a while"..and do that without the guy thinking you don't like him.

:-| hmm..now that's a real tough one, innit.

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

If he is right for you then he will understand what you mean, if he doesnt understand then he isnt the right person for you.

He will wait if he is the right person for you.

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

If he's a guy of high character, he'll wait.

If he's using you for simple emotional gratification, then he won't

But even if he's of high enough character to wait ..... he's going to be sitting around emotionally deprived and if another girl starts giving him attention, temptation will be awfully strong.

My advice: Get married to him now :p

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

Goodness gracious, with that last line I’m sounding like Muslim_Queen :eek:

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

YES, but the question is HOW would you go about explaining this to the guy, without having him think that you don't like him.

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

That’s pretty easy. The tricky part is whether or not he will sit around getting lonely and just wait.

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

Just say what has to be said, he should understand.

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

See, if a girl just simply told a guy that really liked her that she didn't want to date any more (because maybe she realized that it's haraam, or that she's not ready just yet), then the guy might think that she doesn't even like him back.
So how would a girl tell a guy that she no longer is dating, without sounding like a complete nerd, as if she's overreacting?

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

I agree with u here :slight_smile:

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

tell him what you just said :hoonh:
If he’s taking the relationship seriously then he’ll wait for you, if not then you’ll know your answer. Just be honest and say whatever is on your mind.
Maybe it’s one of those situations when it’s easier said than done…hmmmm

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

And I think it’s unlikely he would. Sure, he will 100% be commited to it at first, but the longer you leave him hanging in limbo unsure about how long he will have to stay like that, the more likely he will be to find another girl.

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

Yea, that bites. :disgust:

Re: BIG dilemma- what to do?

what I think is that if he's the right guy...she should be able to tell him everything. and after explaining the everything him, if he agrees to it then all is good.

if he doesnt want to wait then he's not worth it and u will automatically know he's not the one for you.

but u know i think in situations like this its best to take our OWN advise rather than listening to other people. we should do what our heart tells us and see what other people have to say...but they are not necassarily always right.

Leave her alone, Gizzy. You shouldn't snoop around into other people's business. :(
