    You're obviously not with the right woman or you would instinctively know whether you wanted to be single or not.


    Stop messing her about and trying to have your cake and eat it, and let her get on with her life if you're that uncertain about her. People who try to have their cake and eat it often end up choking.


    Settle for a single life and make up your mind there are certain things you will have to do without. At least you'll be free to date others without a guilty conscience.

    You're a man ho. Stay away & keep taking selfies in the gym

    The need to ask the question should have ended at "on/off relationship" or at the latest, "meet other women"

    I am not sure why but this made me laugh a lot.

    If she irritates you and the best bit for you is regular sex, that doesn't really sound like the basis for a relationship to me

    I'm single and i'd like to be in a relationship.
    But i don't want to half a couple just for the sake of it. If she isn't someone who is going to improve my life, i'd rather stay as i am.

    ignore the good bits, they just work.

    focus on the bad bits.

    if you can't fix them move on.

  • To me, this reads as though you'd like to be in a relationship, but there's a good chance that this isn't the right girl. You say your feelings always bring you back together, but could this just be based on good sex brings you back together? I've always found that if things irritate you, especially in the first year of a relationship, those things get worse, as the relationship goes on. It might be worth letting this one go, and looking for something new.
