Rookies are so cute
Alexis on the Sexes from vita.mn original question post: Bored to tears
November 1, 2007
Slow down baby, you’re moving way too fast.
Q: I often get bored really fast in my relationships and break up with my boyfriends within a week or two. I’ve been dating this one guy for a while now (longer than two weeks), and I really like him. I am afraid that I’ll get bored with him though. Instead of letting the relationship die, what can I do to keep things alive and interesting (that doesn’t cost too much — I am a college student after all)?
– Bored, 19
A: Read Alexis’s like a 19 year old is going to listen answer here (you really should go there first, this might make some sense)
H: Well now I am officially behind. But it’s been an eventful week here. She found me. She doesn’t hate me. And she’s still hot. Sounds like a win-win.
On with the advice for a 19 year old who can’t maintain a serious relationship because…..wait, WHAT?
Sorry to disappoint but you getting bored is just you getting bored. Face the fact, that no matter what the chick flick movie says, you are just not into or ready for commitment.
Look rookie, love and all that isn’t easy, but it doesn’t have to be hard. Relax. You’re 19. Have fun. Be safe. You don’t need a boyfriend relationship right now, you’re 19. Enjoy the idea of study abroad. Move to 8 different cities in 3 years. Graduate with 12 different degrees. Smell the roses and enjoy life. Date and figure out what you like. Find out what kind of a guy is going to keep your interest. Don’t sweat this, it’s not a big deal…tons of people go through the same thing – you’re fine.
Now stop reading this blog and tell your older sister, no - your oldest sister that I’m heading to the bar. Don’t worry rookie, you can still buy me that drink in about 10 years.
