Update on my situation:

We met yesterday and I told her “as long as you’re not looking to settle down, I’m not looking to settle down, and neither of us want to break up, why not stay together and see what happens, without the pressure of expectation?” It took her a while to decide because, for whatever reason, she sees only one inevitable conclusion, but she agreed to trust me (I told her that I know what I’m getting myself into, and that if it turns out one or the both of us feel differently i.e. our feelings diminish later on, we’ll be informed and ready for it).

She said “I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t what I wanted” in reference to us staying together, as well as “I don’t want to break up” and “I don’t want to date anyone else.” Couple hours later, after our decision to stay together, we were having a random conversation about the movie posters on her wall (I told her each one represented a part of her personality) and when it came to a poster for the romantic drama “Like Crazy,” she called herself “a bit of a hopeless romantic.”

I don’t regret telling her that we should stay together at all, but I am still trying to understand her views on love.

“I’m a bit of a hopeless romantic” doesn’t gel with everything she told me the other night about her being a pessimist and her not wanting to be in love. Which is it? She’s an optimist when it comes to most other things, she’s very giving (to me too…she’s a great girlfriend, which is why I chose not to end it), she’s the type of girl who gets choked up at her sister’s wedding and will watch a good (it cant be cheesy) romantic comedy when they come around.

With everything that I told you in the first post, and now this, what do you think?
