Hey guys I just wanted to say thanks for the positive inputs. It really gave me some things to think about that I think went in a really productive direction. We had a pretty good talk and really good time hanging out last night and it was just nice to remember why we were dating and stuff.

Dirtyboy, you're right. I do need her because I cannot get what she does for me from someone else.

I think I often come to this thought process because commitment is a friggen scary thing. Like I said, weve been dating for over 1.5 years and I feel at that point both people should have a pretty good idea if the relationship has potential to last. Like Stoney said, if you want out it's best to just get it over with it. Which is why after 1.5 years you should probably know if you want out or not. I don't want out, and if I don't want out, then that means I'm in and that means commitment for a long time. I think for my 20 year old mind, that is just a hard pill to swallow right now. I don't want to think about getting married but at the same time, if you've found a potential candidate so early in the dating game you can't just run away right?

Thanks for the support guys. RIUppers are winners in my book
