Should I break up with my girlfriend?

I like her but things just arn't going well. We live 4 hours apart due to me going to a different college. She barely ever talks to me and when she does it usually only cause I said something. I know this may seem cruel but I'm not gonna talk to her until she actually starts a conversation with me for once. But I just feel like I should stop things now and not just string her along. I told her I thought that we should be a little more romantic but she said she felt too awkward doing that. She than tried to make it seem like she didn't mind, but I could tell she was only doing that so that I would feel better. She hasn't done anything wrong to me at all and I don't want to hurt her feelings, but I feel like me and her should just be friends. I want to be able to hold onto the person I'm with and be romantic with them, and even though it's not her fault, she can't give me those things that I want :( and please, I'm not a jerk, i'm not a user, and I'm not just looking for sex or something stupid like that I want to find the girl who I will spend my whole life with who is like me and understands me and wants to talk to me instead of just talking to me only when I do.

    man, those are all great things to live up to i totally understand where you're coming from. if this girl isn't that dream girl that you think you could spend the rest of your life with then there's no reason to feel bad about breaking up with her. it doesn't even sound like she makes an effort in the relationship mate! if she doesn't even want to be romantic and hardly talks to you then she in no way sounds like the girl who understands you and will talk to you all the time because she wants to. i don't see why there's any reason to still date this girl when you have so many great goals to live up to in your relationships. if it's long distance and she doesn't even try then i'm sure she'll understand why you're doing it. just be patient and gentle about it if you do end up breaking up with her. good luck!

    Do you have a computer with a webcam and internet? Can you use Skype or heck, even facebook videochat?

    If you really want to stay together and not lose the passion, ask her if she would like to have a daily 1 hour webcam chat, talk about your lives. Will seem much more personal than a boring phonecall or a cordial text message. If the passion anyways fizzles, you will still be able to stay in a friendly coexistence. If you want to stay with her, does she like a musician or something in particular? Buy a ticket to some event even if it's cheap (you are probably a poor university student and can't afford anything fancy and invite her, will give both of you something to look up for.

    But if you feel like the passion is off, don't wasting her time and cut it off already. Would you rather cut it now while you are single and free or after a nasty and expensive divorce? Don't forget that your school education is also important, you'll have plenty of time in 6 years to be dating girls.

    Do whatever you like. But you need to figure out what you mean. You start off saying she basically ignores you, but then end by saying she's done nothing wrong to you. Either she is or isn't. Then decide how you feel about it.

    The question I'd answer if I were you is if you feel your relationship would be different without the distance.

    It's hard to have a long distance relationship, even though you guys just live four hours apart. My best advice is to just to be honest with her and tell her what you feel. That you don't have same feelings anymore. Remember communication is the best tool in a relationship.

    Seems like shes just not 'the one'

    sometimes, as great as someone is, theres something missing,

    seems like in your case, theres something missing.

    its great you dont want to waste your time and hurt her,

    so maybe just do what it sounds like you're leading towards.

    sounds like shes not giving enough in the relationship.

    best of luck

    You need to be honest with her then if that's what your going to do she can't force you not to. It's understandable to want to be close to your gf.
