Of course you wanted your relationship to come one year later, that it came.
...you're young and you're still panty chasing.
My ex and myself said the same exact thing for 3 years. If only our relationship came 4 years later, when we were more mature and in our senior years of college (next year for me, this year for her) we would have made a life for ourselves and been married. Its still a possibility, but I cut my ex lose knowing I might lose her or have a change of heart and find someone more suitable - even though thats hard the imagine and hasn't happened yet.
So in the end, what we always said, was true for me. I needed the relationship to come later in life, and I just postponed my panty chasing a few years. My ex on the other hand was willing to "sacrifice" that stuff to be with me for the rest of time. It just shows two entirely different mentalities and an example that either can work.
Like I said early, take all the advice in here with a grain of salt. I tried to provide more of life stories and examples than advice so you can see where I'm coming from and what worked for me, although it may not neccesarily work for you.
I'm enjoying myself now, but from a friend's and family's perspective, none of them thought it was a wise idea to break up with my girl. I still get asked to this day if I'm going to get back with her, and its been over two months now I believe.
I just decided it was time for me to live life for myself and go out on a whim - but thats me. I'm excentric and extravagent.
I explained to a coworker, last night, who's about to put a ring on a girl's finger after three months of dating, that he needs to slow down. He's never had a real girlfriend or been a stable guy, so now when he's with someone that he actually cares about he's taking things so fast out of fear that he's going to lose her. I guess thats fine, but I wouldn't want to make a life decision with haste. As I told him last night, I can make the first two weeks with any girl amazing, and I can fall for her within two weeks if I immerse myself with her - how do I know this? Because every girl that I ever was into, I could go buck wild with in the first two weeks and have the most amazing times of my life - but soon after that the new sensation dies down and you're left with whatever substance of a real relationship you guys have. Its hard to go through life doing new things all the time, and its finnacially burdening and time consuming to be going out all the time, so you have to see how life its going to be in a routine. Sure a routine may not be as exciting, but you can change some things up to spice up your life, but in the end you're always going to fall into some sort of routine and frankly I don't see anything wrong with that. Its human nature to want routine, it provides less conflict and stress than the unknown.
I just urge you to take your time, sit down, and explore if the panty chasing is worth giving up your relationship for. There's nothing wrong with your decision either way, so don't feel guilty. Live life for yourself.
