I've been dating this girl for about 8 months. For a while things were going really well. I was already planning on moving to another nearby city to go to school, and we ended up deciding to get a place there together, as she was going to attend the same university.
Well, since that decision, I've pretty much realized that she's not exactly what I'm looking for. I like her, I think she's a great person, and I care about her, but during conversations about things that are important to me, things haven't been so great. (I am an atheist, and a similar outlook would be ideal in a partner, but I am willing to give it a shot with someone who may have religious beliefs, but it would honestly take a lot of other positives. This is just what I want.)
That isn't the only issue, of course... I honestly just don't have a lot of fun with her anymore. I'm pretty sure that most of my feelings of happiness early in the relationship were sort of rebound-related, as I had ended a bad relationship a couple of months prior to dating her.
But basically... the moving date is a week from now. I'm debating between these choices:
1) Ending things now, although that would be really upsetting to her given the short notice and that she really likes me.
2) Telling her that I want to continue to see her, but I cannot move in with her and would want an uncommitted relationship in which I could date other people.
3) Giving it a while longer and moving in anyway, and if things don't work out, figure things out from there as far as living situations.
