  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Read this thread at a book discussion and purchase forum: I don't appeal to my girlfriend anymore. (You can also view my Logos -profile.)
This woman I'm talking about means a lot to me. We have had so much conversations through email (we don't live together), she understands me, and largely accepted me. I could not explain my life to anyone else. I'm not going to start from scratch. I'm done with dating.
Now she is only my buddy. I want to date her but I don't require sex.

I'm also in trouble. And she didn't help me a lot - PM to talk to me about what kind of trouble I'm in!

Luckily I have one ace up my sleeve: I like hiking, and walking. It's difficult for her to find anyone else who wants to.

The advice you need is best found in a close friend or relative who understands your full situation. Before I met my wife I would talk to my Uncle about such things because I trust him and he is a Pastor. Perhaps you have someone like that in your life?

The only advice I have is to trust God and pray. He has a plan for you. Seek out His plan and work toward it. I didn't find my wife until I gave up on finding someone and put it in His hands.

Hmmmm.
I just came across this thread.
I do wonder if you are making the right choice. You can't stay in a relationship because it's better than nothing. A BTN relationship won't be a happy one. It is best to have no romantic relationship that one that isn't so great.
I do hope that you do make the right choice about whether or not to stay with this person.
You can't expect her to stay just because it would be difficult for her to find someone else who likes the same stuff she does.
Hmmm.

I haven't said anything about expecting. I'm not expecting much.

Right now she is difficult to talk to because she is uninterested. She doesn't want to know anything about my life (she got annoyed over two text messages today) and she has dated a man 4 times who is strong and has hunting as a hobby.

When she met me 4½ years ago I was strong. So I guess that's about all that she's interested in. (After that I starved, I didn't have enough money to buy food, so I couldn't stay strong). That and sort of common interests.

EDIT: Now she says that she right now doesn't have anything to talk with me about because I don't know enough Psychology. I responded that I'm probably going to study Psychology.

I'm young but she doesn't care about that.

I don't know what that abbreviation stands for and I don't care. I don't know why You are suggesting having no local friends whatsoever would be an option? I become unsocial if I'm not in touch with anyone, and no I don't think I'll find friends in school - most of them are way too young to be interested in me, I'm on high-school level adult education:

We have sort of a peace right now. She is a bit upset at me because of how I've been earlier on in the summer and Spring 2011 and earlier. Everything wasn't OK until Fall and early Winter 2012.
I'm very grateful to her, but I guess I need to do more to show that such as cook a dinner - that is however really tricky right now as I have more than full time studies. I will reduce my studies very soon. She expects me to help her. So now it's my turn to help her.
Additionally she doesn't want me to talk about small matters anymore. I'll be glad to learn not to.

To me, it's really not a failure at all to not have sex. I have a very different view on this than most Christians have and most Churches. To me, it's crucial to wait for a person until the relationship gets better. Like I clearly stated in my OP it's my desire to wait.

They stopped seeing a while ago. But now there's a new problem: I'm too intellectual for her! I'm focusing on areas of interest that are of no interest to her, such as history and Greek:
