i dont believe in good guys anymore?
okay so i have been with this guy for over 3 years now and im 17 and hes 16. off and on, hes a good boyfriend to me but other times he just doest seem like a good boyfriend. im in love with him and hes in love with me, and we have not gotten bored of each other, its just that, well, hes different than me. but i have grown to accept the things that he does, which is a bad thing. hes what i want, but a lot of the times hes not. i have to hope that he will actually pay attention to me day after day. and most of the time its a disappointment. i cant believe if there are good guys out there who truly are wonderful to their girl friend. please give me advice on what i should do. he already knows how i feel and he says he cant change, not even for me.

Thats sad. It doesnt sound like he really loves you if he isnt willing to change for the girl he supposedly loves...im sorry if it sounds like im putting him down. Its just sad that you dont get any attention and have to hope you'll get some. If i were you i would have a talk with him about whether or not he really wants to be with you. You dont deserve to have to feel like that everyday, and the sad thing is that (and im sorry to say it but) it wont last. You two will never be truly happy unless you are willing to do whatever it takes to make the other person happy. He probably could change, but whatever it is he does that you dont like, he is happy doing what he wants. I know you dont want to leave him and im sure he doesnt want to leave you, but you two really need to communicate. Even if that means fighting with each other, you need to tell him what you expect and want from him. A real man would bend over backwards for his girl, and vice versa. I do whatever it takes to make my girlfriend happy and in turn i am happy. Relationships mean sacrifice, but not to the point to where you are miserable. There are good guys out there, its rare, but they are out there. I felt the same about girls until i met the love of my life, and i do everything in my power to make her as happy as i can and she does everything in her power to make me as happy as she can.
I hope something i said will help you out.

Well first of all I would never want a guy to change for me... if you love him then I know there has to be something there. It all comes down to what you want. It sounds crazy but I actually wrote a list of all the qualities I wanted my boyfriend to have and I found someone who is absolutely wonderful and everything I could ever want. However you need to see if you are willing to really accept what he does or if it's going to bother you and if this is something you can work past. Maybe you guys just need a break and see if this is really what both of you want especially if you're hoping he gives you attention everyday. But from my experience there are wonderful guys but what makes them wonderful is what a girl wants in their guy. What's good to me may not be good to another. There is no way to go wrong if you stick to a list of qualities you want your guy to have and things you will tolerate and not tolerate. Also you're getting ready to go to college and believe me there are plenty of new wonderful people you're going to meet. I would take a break and see how things go if it were me. Hope this helped!!

I have no doubt that you still love him, from the sound of it. But 3 years is a long time, and people's personalities and interests are constantly changing. The people you've both become after all of these changes may clash now, whereas before the personalities you had meshed very well. If you want to stay with him for the sake of love, then you should. But if you don't want to be bored anymore, I suggest you move on.
hope this helps :)

Yes there are good guys out there and yes you will probably find one some day. This guy may even be that person someday. Unfortunatly you are in that period of your life where most people only think of themselves most of the time.
Have you ever heard the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results. Quit waiting for him to change. Move on, stay friends and see what happens.

Ok... He's 16.... He's young... and immature.... and you both have a lot of growing up to do.... LOL...
But there are good guys out there, and to be quite truthful these day's it's easier to find a good guy that will treat a woman right than it is to find a good woman to treat a man right, as bad as it sounds... but there are good ones on both ends of the department...
I think that in this case you have to look at the fact that he's kinda young, and kinda immature... and has a lot of growing up to do... especially if you've been together for three years at that age... Hopefully it will come in time that he will take care of you more like you want him to... and call you and pay attention... but he may not be ready for that at his age... you may have all that you can expect from the boy at this point...
and he doesn't already know... at all...

Im 17 as well, and this is the advice my aunt gave me a lon time ago about guys. She told me that you cant change a guy, and that if you dont kno have to live with the way a guy is then he is not for u. Sometimes it may seem good but if ur having doubts then maybe u are more friends than in love.

"I am starting to lose my faith in love." Give it 2-3 years max and I am sure your perspective will change. People and their outlooks change overtime and usually for the better. "She slept with a 20 year old dude and hes in jail, now she acts like it never happened and all she does is flirts with guys." Give the girl a break; you have no idea what she has been through and maybe if you knew her and her situation better you would be in a position to judge her more clearly. "So right now I shall sever all my attachments to her or any girl for that matter." In a way, maybe this is a good idea. Just chill, hangout with friend, do stuff and all the girl stuff will work itself out on its own, I promise. When you do find not just 'love' but 'true love' all these things you mention wont matter.

Well, that doesn't mean you shouldn't believe in good guys anymore. I have a few friends with girlfriends that have a very loving mutual relationship with each other. Besides, some guys don't believe in good girls. They may have some reasons to believe so, but are they right? NO. I almost feel the same way as you do, with all of the 'plastics' at my school. But I can name a handful of respectful girls I know personally. Humanity isn't COMPLETELY screwed up, just enough to make those who aren't screwed up unable to save the rest from their own stupidity. In other words, humanity's not all that bad, it's just bad enough to be hopeless.

There are some good guys out there but there hard to find now as far as you and your bf goes then maybe you two need to take a break in the relationship and try being friends for now cuz it seems that you two really love each other and don't want to lose each other just try to be friends then maybe you and your bf can one day be a couple again

You know what? Maybe this guy isn't for you. But there will be somebody who will treat you good all of the time. It's okay if you break up with this guy, especially if you're nervous from one day to the next about him paying attention to you.
Good luck! I hope you find that 'special someone'.
