Thinking of breaking up with my boyfriend?
I'm a 16-year-old girl and I've been with this guy for five months, and I feel really stuck with what to do.
Firstly, he seems to always be hinting at how he's waiting for me to be ready to have sex with him, I'm not & I'm still a virgin (he's my first boyfriend), and he'd never force me or deliberately pressure me into it but he makes it really obvious he's just waiting for the day I say I'm ready, which is sort of scary yet quite irritating at the same time.
Secondly, we've started arguing all the time (this is my fault); I'll point out a problem I have with him or us and he won't think I'm being totally serious and he'll reply in a silly way or with a ridiculous argument which bothers me because I feel like he doesn't take me seriously.
And thirdly because he is under the impression that he takes me and us together really seriously. He's always going on about how much he's "in love" with me, and I know he isn't lying, but I don't think he really understands what he's saying, and that bothers me.
He's romanticised our relationship and is convinced it's perfect, he even cooked us dinner for valentine's and it was really awkward because I'd told him that I wanted to do anything but that.
I just feel like he's so caught up with the relationship being perfect like what happens in movies or with "grownups" that he's blissfully unaware of how stressed I am from everything.
It took us so long to get together and I like him a lot so I don't want to end it like this. Help?

Woah first off.. you are the first teenager to actually have their head on straight! I would tell him that although you care about him..that relationships are anything but what they are in movies. Tell him that you would like it if he would acknowledge you and listen to you and what you want to do. Let him know that you would rather just take things day by day and not worry if it's something straight from a movie and want a real relationship. Also let him know that if he isn't going to listen to how you feel and respect your decisions you may need to take a break for a bit.

That's my relationship in a nutshell, cept my man doesn't exactly show "love"...
Well, from what you say I think he's a keeper; seems romantic and really sweet but all in all it's up to you what happens. If you can't take it, end it.
Arguing is part of relationships, trust me!
Personally, I think you should wait before you do anything you might end up regretting. But it's your relationship, you do what you choose to do, it's about what you want, no-one else.

Talk to him about it, instead of releasing all this crud out on the internet. I hate it when girls do that lol. Solve ur problems with maturity and tell him where he's wrong. From what it seems, he hasn't done anything purposely against you? It looks like your fishing for reasons to break up with this guy. Do what's right but don't be selfish.
