I'm going to make this short. I am someone who has always preferred the single life and living without stress and hassle of a relationship, but I recently met this girl who I feel a connection with.

I was adamant that I didn't want a relationship, but that was before i met her, now I'm doubting everything I ever thought. I like this girl and think I may want to take it further with her, but I'm in two minds because I really didn't want a stress of a relationship and now she has thrown a spanner in the works

Mod note for clarification: a spanner is a wrench.

lol! Sounds good, OP. How do you know a relationship with her would be stressful? It might be the best thing that ever happened to you. You can either throw that chance away, or you can investigate further.

Good luck. It sounds like happiness is about to ambush you.

If you only recently met her, why not just date and get to know her before jumping into an exclusive relationship?

Sounds like you're talking yourself out of it. Maybe you don't really want one yet.
If you took the chance you might be surprised...why do you equate "stress" to sharing a life with someone you love. It's actually the other way around...a lot less stress, cause there's two of you working together instead of just one....a compliment to yourself.

Yes. At this stage, it's not an all-or-nothing proposition. You can put a toe in the water to see how it feels, and go on a few outings with her; museum, concert, a lecture, whatever there is to do in your town. See if you still like her after you get to know her a little. Report back to us.

What you described happens. Best laid plans get messed up when we meet someone who we are really attracted to. That's life. You'll figure out what to do. No one here can really tell you if it would be a good/bad decision cause we aren't you.

It's a spanner that doesn't fit.

This is just how it goes when you meet the right person. And with the right person, a relationship does not equal "stress and hassle."
