'I love her, but I'm not ready to commit'

I like eating out a lot, but my boyfriend hates it. He says I do it only so I can check in to new places on Facebook, which is not true. This is beginning to affect our relationship. Should I end it?

Let me get this straight: You want to end a relationship because your boyfriend doesn't like eating out? Please sit down with him and try discussing this like an adult. Not eating out is not the end of the world. Millions in this country starve.

My girlfriend and I have been together for a year now, and she thinks it's about time we considered taking our relationship to the next level, by which she means we should get engaged and inform our parents. I don't know if she's the right person for me though. I know this sounds selfish, but I really think I need to feel more comfortable with the idea before committing myself to someone for a lifetime. If I tell her this, she will accuse me of using her and end the relationship, which is a bad idea because we really do get along together. What can I do to convince her that I need more time?

You have already mentioned the solution. Convince her. You sound like you genuinely do like spending time with her, and the idea of committing to someone for a lifetime does require a bit of thought. If a year isn't enough to convince you, tell her what you think would be a good time to try and arrive at that decision. Find out what her reason for this is too. If she's sure and you're not, it's a question of spending more time together until you both arrive at the same place or, if that doesn't happen, a decision on what the future of your relationship will be. Either way, this is something only the two of you can resolve. Sit her down, tell her how you really feel and get her to understand how important she is in your life.
