Five years is a long time to date someone at your age, and it sounds like he has some wonderful qualities, but that you’re not sure he’s the one because you haven’t had a lot of dating experience. You mentioned your concern about being able to have “the life that you want” with him. Decide what that life looks like and if it’s worth compromising at your age, and if you did, what it would mean giving up.
Frankly, with what little you’ve said, it really sounds like you need to explore some more before you commit. It would be a shame if you felt trapped — and it would also be a shame for your boyfriend to be with someone who felt trapped. Men want their women to feel like they’ve got the greatest man on earth. If you don’t, and if you’re not even close to feeling that, it’s not really going to work for either of you.
