Too philosophical, spiritual, book smarts but no common-sense, easily infulenced by what others say, not practical about life, careless about important things (bank account, dogs, bills, etc), pays WAY too much attention to stuff like feng-sheui (or w/e) & karma

U get the idea

sounds like every hot girl i've encountered

You will though. No matter when you tell her, she's going to hurt, and you as well. There's never a good time to tell someone you don't want to see them anymore thats why IMO, there is no time like the present.

Just man up and say you can't see yourself marrying her because of said reason. It would be unfair on her to have a guy (you) to not totally be in love with her and be 'compatible'.

The truth hurts but maybe she needs a cold slap in the face. Forgetting bill payments once in a while but if it is a regular thing isn't good. The dog thing is just terrible imo and I don't even like dogs!

Good luck.

write down the things you dont like....and just talk with her, maybe she can change for you. this would also give her the oppertunity to tell you about the things she doesnt like about you.

your never gonnna like absolutely everything about a girl, theres always some annoyance.

you should work something out......eye for an eye type thing, if she changes some things to suit you, you change some things to suit her.

marriage isnt about being perfect partners....its full of compromises.

I've been gently trying to change her careless ways since we started off, tried explaining to her not to take people at face value, told her that the world won't become nicer to her just because she's feng-shueied the house.

Didn't work

Cheat on her and make it so she finds out. Or make out with her sister/best friend/mom.

Actually though, I don't have any real advice for this, but good luck.

pump & dump



she does those things because that is what she likes. She will not be willing to give up things she likes for you.

Bit of oberservation.

Everything you've described means she hasn't grown up yet and maybe she never will. Definately not marriage material. I'm guessing she's probably in mid/late 20s?

that explains it then.

do what you gotta do, but a woman at age 24 is very rare. If the only thing bothering you is her immaturity maybe you guys could talk about it.

My current girlfriend is 23, going on 30. Very mature for her age. Pays all her bills on time, cares about family and friends. Cares about her actions and how they affect other people. And I can't forget to mention she's a Victoria Secret and Lerner model all wrapped in one. I'm in heaven ;)

I don't think so ;)

And as far as popping the question. I love her and she loves me but right now isn't the time to start talking about marriage...but in due time i'm sure we'll be married.

BTW..she's the one in the middle. That's me on the left..I hate that pic.
