    I’ve had a history of terrible relationships in the past. Either i just got bored and didnt feel right in the relationship with the person, or I was dumped. After my last really bad break up i decided to stay single for a while because i felt it would help me. But i caught up with an old friend on facebook about 4 months of being single, and we really hit it off. He was completly different from any other guy that i had ever been interested in, and i felt really conected to him. The only downside was he was moving to Kansas (he is in the military) for the next 3 years. So i kinda figured we would have a one night stand, and i was perfectly fine with it because i figure i knew him and there wouldnt be any of the awkward after a hook up thing. After he left we still talked constantly and he told me that he really like me and wanted me to be his girl. I agreed because i really liked him. About 3 weeks after talking on the phone every day, he told me he loved me. We would joke about being a modern day Dear John (minus the whole breaking up part). He swears we will get married after i graduate college and his term in the army ends. I was all for it for several months, but now im kinda getting bored in the relationship, and i find the things he does really bothers me. Ive done this in pretty much every relationship ive had before, and i really dont want to do it to this guy he really is amazing. How can i make things work?

    It sounds like you’re not picking men who are good matches for you, if as you say, you either get dumped or get bored. There are two reasons why this is happening and where you can make some positive changes. The first is to know WHY you want a boyfriend. Some people want excitement. Some want a monogamous companion. Some want romance. Some want a best friend with benefits. None of these are right or wrong — but you have to decide what YOU want in a man. And even IF you want a boyfriend right now in your life. If you don’t, that’s okay — but don’t try to make yourself be in a relationship when you really don’t want one after all.

    Second, if you do want a boyfriend, what kind of man is going to be right for you? It sounds like you were bored without this current boyfriend, and he was just a one night stand to cure your boredom, but out of inertia, he because your default boyfriend. I know you say he’s got great qualities — but are they great qualities FOR [i]YOU[/i]? The better you know yourself and are aware of who you are deep down and what makes you happy, annoyed and yes, even bored, the better a matchmaker you can be for yourself! Just because a guy looks good and has some fine qualities, doesn’t make him right for you. So know yourself and then discriminate among the guys you date so you may cure that boredom.

    I hope that helps and that you’ll join me on Facebook. Here’s that link: [url][/url].
