Recently I got a girlfriend...^^ She is very smart and beautiful...At first,I was so happy and we wanted to be with eachother every miniute... But recently,I found that being together every day is a tired thing...During the day time,you have to work..After work,you have to have dinner with her..After dinner,you have to watch TV or talk with her..even on Sundays,,you have to go shopping with her,hair cut,go to the park,and finally you find that you have't contacted with your close friends for such a long time...More or less you have departed from those person you used to spend a lot of time with... Now sometimes I think isn't it much better to be single?
Anyway,I will climb the hill with my long-time-departed friends this week...
so ,what about you?Share with us...

Hi zhpshql, see that is all depends on you. If you love her say that you have to meet your friends she can understand know. Why you are not talking to her so openly why you hesitate to tell to your girl friend, is she told you that because of me you have to leave your friends? You need not to loose or departed from your best/good/close friends. If you convince them will they not understand you? then what is the meaning of friendship. Be happy, don't worry, be open with your friends or girl friend so no problems. Everything is in our hands.
Have a good day.

thank you Jotomy..you are right..I told her that I need sometime with my friends..and she agreed happily ...but you know what,she is much more happier when she was with me.... during the time I spent with my friends,she always didn't know how to spend the time....Yes,I was happy when I was with my friends,,but for her,she was not as happy as the time with me...I dont' want her to be alone and feel sad..So I tried to spend more time with her...^^ actually she doesn't have as many friends as me...she even didn't want to join us when I was with my friends...

That's ridiculous!
If you spend enough time with anyone
you will get sick of them.
A good way to ruin a good thing
Is to spend every minute with her.
You will eventually start making excuses to avoid her.
Do not let yourself get to that point.
Just go hang with your friends
Go to the gym, do homework, play games, read, etc.
do whatever you want normally.
So that way when you go on dates
It will be much more special
and you will enjoy eachother's company that much more.
And never ever
no matter how long you're with her
ever forget to flirt.
Always remember how much fun you had when you first met
and keep flirting and making her feel special.
Very hard to do when you spend too much time together.
At what point does your lover become more like just your roommate
or even your sister?
I'm sure your friends miss you
go have fun.

Hi Zhpshql,
Relationships always seem to start off like that because it is so exciting as you get to know each other. Then you reach a point where you start to feel comfortable with each other and you should not need to spend so much time together. You should have time with your friends and she should have time with hers and going after her interests. And then you should have some time for just each other and mutual friends and interests. If you can't balance that then the relationship will just crash. You can't seclude yourself to just one person all the time. I'm glad you are going out with your buddies this week. Your friends are important too. You should be able to have a relationship and still have time for your friends. If you can't then the relationship just won't work out.

I think you have to set up a schedule of meeting with your girl friend.
As for me, I set my dating with my girl friend on Sunday only. I make it started on early morning from 10am to midnight.
We do shopping, go cinema, go food court and drink at pub.
Although it is a hurry, we like to be.

Well don't seem to me like you are serious being in love. I have been with my fiance for 5 years, we do not go everywhere together every second, and we never get bored with each other. His best friends are all my best friends too. I share everything with him including watching football even I will scream at the stadium as loud as he does too. Nothing wrong with spending time together, but I don't see you two are sharing a hobby together, you are just going with obligation and stuff. What you need here is as a guy, you supposed to lead the relationship maturely and teach your girlfriend to understand the relationship between you two if you have the intention of being in a relationship with her longer. You are wrong if what you do is pamper her all the time, that is not an exact right way to enjoy relationship. Don't only blame your girlfriend, you have a responsibility there to lead the relationship right too.
Good luck and have a nice day!

I feel as if you are not in love with her because you can easily get tired after hanging around with her for how long? Two weeks? What will happen when you get married because you will have to face her every day. Maybe it's time to ask yourself whether you really like to be in her company.

How are you doing, zhpshql? I haven't seen you on here in a long time! I'm sure you've been working as well as spending time with your gf. I've been away for a while, myself, but I've been back for about two or three weeks now. I had a bf like this one time. I met him when I was in college and anytime we weren't in class, he thought he had to spend every second with me! I got pretty sick of him, too! We had a pretty stormy relationship but we had a lot of good times together, too. I needed time to study and do things without him around. Your gf must be pretty lonely. Have you tried talking to her about this?

Yes, that's what my bf once told me. To him, it's tiring for us to see each other everyday and he's bored of the routine. He needs his space and he needs his friends. I realize how happy he is whenever there's a gathering for them or some kind occasions which he can't reject. It's also due to this change I see, makes me feel how possessive I'm actually is. Much as I always wanted him to be around for me and accompany always, I know I have to change. We are all adults now and we should not kill each other's privacy and space.

I used to have the same situation before. I spent all of my free time with my boyfriend. I never seem to have spare time to spent with my friends but I never felt like you did. I was ok and contented about it. I didn't get tired of being with him those times. My friends understood my situation and it was fine with them. True friends understands and will always be happy if their friends are happy. In your case, if you'll tell that to your friends, they get annoyed with your girlfriend. They wouldn't want to hear you complaining about it since they might have been thinking that you are ok all these times. ^_^

well, it's true. i dont have friend anymore after i build my relationship with my boyfriend. i'm afraid that he will be mad if my friend is more important than him. anyway, my boyfriend is a person that doesnt want to be faraway from me. he's always stick to me no matter where i go. you are the person that want to have free time from your girlfriend, well mine is the opposite.
but because me and him love each other, i think we dont have much trouble of losing our friend as long as we are together

There should be time for your friends. If she's a good person, she'll be perfectly fine with you spending more time with them.
Sometimes during a new relationship, it's so exciting and causes so many good feelings that all you want to do is spend time with your significant other. That is normal. If your friends and good friends, they will be understanding about this.
Just do what you want. If you want to spend time with your GF, spend time with your GF and if you want to spend time with your friends, spend time with your friends! And if you want to be alone, then by all means! Just relax and Have fun!
