I currently have a boyfriend and he makes me happy. But I feel like I am settling.
Reason I say this is because he is 36..lives at home..his car recently got repo'd...and now he is on Workman's Compensation for his technician job.
And I don't know why, but he purchased a few houses in Atlanta, yet he lives in Queens, NYC. (One of the houses got foreclosed)
I am really trying to make something of my life and it isn't easy. I want someone of equal ambition!
I mean, granted, I still live at home and I am 26. But I work and have my own car and am planning to move out this year.
So, with that said, is it wrong to look for prospects while with my BF and "shop around"..??
Sounds like he's not marriage material for you. I'd just dump him and go on my way. What kind of message does it send to your new prospects if you run off on your boyfriend for them? They are going to be thinking that you're a potential cheater or just untrustworthy in general. I think you'll find better prospects as a single lady looking than a girlfriend looking for something better.
Oh bs. Tell the guy that he isnt doing it for you and break it off with him. Selfish people who want their cake and want to eat it too, make me sad. believe me, if you are single for a week - you wont cease to exist. Ive noticed that mostly women are always looking for upgrades, even if theyre positive that their current relationship is going nowhere. Its selfish and selfserving.

This is so true.
Thus when a single man approaches then girl she says I'm in a relationship.
How coincidental that she calls a week later saying she broke up with her boyfriend.

Kind of true. But kind of not! I think it's unfair he put me in this situation! He should have been honest from the beginning.
And I don't like being single. Men have a hard time committing. Too bad the one I found to commit has nothing really going on.

He's a great guy and gives me a ton of attention? Maybe this will get annoying in another few months. We've been together since January.

Then...what kind of potential Inlaws would allow a grown man to stay at home?
Picture a fat adult bird sitting in a nest with his mouth open to the sky. Yeah! You will play the role of mother bird bringing worms to him.
His mother CALLS him when he spends the night over. That's the type.
