Why not be friends and see how things develop?  If you two agreed to break up, why are you asking the question now?  Sit down and talk.

I had to wait 40 years for my prince and boy did I kiss a bunch of nasty frogs before that happened.  Keep your head up!  A friend once told me that "life can change on a dime".  And boy was she right!  When you have developed into the person that your soulmate will recognize and swoon over, then and only then will it happen.  Use this time to fine tune that wonderful, joyful soul that will be a bright beacon for him!  Good luck.

I think that whatever the reason for your intereste in this other man, it is telling you one very important thing: you probably arent ready for marriage. as much as you probably do want to get married, maybe this is a way of telling you to give it a bit more time. it doesnt mean that you dont love your partner. perhaps you should just take a bit of time before deciding on marriage, and spend it on analysing your relationship and if this is really what you want. marriage should be for life. so your partner should be the only man in your life, when you decide to marry. perhaps just for now, take time to enjoy eachothers company and maybe you can look forward to a Valentine's Day Proposal in a few months time!\nWhatever you decide, follow your heart. The decision either way has to be right for you, as you are the one living your life.\n\nMaybe discuss with your partner your concerns? &#92;\n\nBest of luck in your relationship

After seven years with someone you should be able to comprise....all you can do is talk about the situation and let him know how depressed this is makin you feel...if he loves you which he should do after so long he might think about it abit more...communication is the best way...and honesty

No - there is no spark.  It's called hormones honey, simply that... nothing more. Where do you go from here?  Move on, not worth it.  I would not wast my time.  Sex should never be the basis for any relationship. Move on! Quick!

I think it's a personal question that has to be addressed individually. It depends on what is important to you. If you have an absolute need to know what the other person is like every day, all the time, then perhaps you should. Or if you believe in love and what a commitment to marriage means, then take the faith that you love this person no matter what their personal habits. You can get to know a person's character without living with them, but again, it's up to you and them. As for strengthening a relationship, more studies show that it doesn't, but everybody's different. You also have to think about your potential kids and what kind of an example would you want to set for them? Years down the road what are you going to want to be able to say to them about moving in with their partners? That usually will reflect what is in your own heart and you should listen to that.

Communication! I have been with the same guy for 7 years and I am just realizing since we moved in together that its one area  we need work in.  Its so important!  Also keep dating each other.  People always seem to get "comfy" in a relationship and it gets boring.  Keep things exciting.

realtionships take long to develop, they are built on mutual faith and trust. so u will have to give some time. think 1000 times before breaking one, relationships are like glass....u can mend once it is broken but the crack will always show

Do what your heart leads you to do. If we push something and it is unnatural it is not meant to be or work out. If he feels as you weekends will work, the relationship will grow and arrangments in the future will blossom. Do not leap walk slow........this is your opportunity

You cannot define that in terms of time, there is a minimum amount of time that you should wait before considering it a relationship, 3 dates and by that I mean at least a 4 hour period of time with each other each date, but just because you do the minimum, does not make it a relationship, it just means you took the chance to develop the foundation for one.  Some couples know each other for years before developing a relationship, to confine it to time is a mistake.  I advise against making the mistake of believing in love at first sight.  I term that lust at first sight, ya it can work, but most of the time and I am talking about 98% type most of the time, it does not.  Make each other jump through the hoops that you normally would, no matter how much the first attraction is and define the time that the relationship starts after the 3 dates and when there is a mutual attraction.\n\nJohn B.

Please do not put too much of your heart into this new man, you need all of your senses and energy to finish the divorce and to be centered to a healthy balance before starting a new romance. It is not fair to the new man or yourself to rush this, ....if he is the ONE for you then he will be patient and wait....use your wisdom that God has granted you to get thru these time and pray for support daily from the heavens.

Six months seems like a long time.  Usually after just a couple of dates you start to know if you love someone.  After six months you should pretty much know if this relationship is going to be long term and the word love should be something easily given.  Maybe I'm just quicker to love than some but six months seems like forever.\n\nIt is obvious how important those three little words are to you, and I agree.  I think you are at a place where all you can do is sit him down and talk to him.  Ending a relationship is always hard and before reaching that point I think it is important to make sure you know absolutely from the other person their feelings on the issue.  Then you can honestly make your choice without having made an assumption.

I don’t personally believe, based on my own Christian faith, that God has dictated everything in your life.  Bottom line is, you are a co-writer of the story God is telling through you.\n\nYou will have opportunities to become romantically involved with different people in your life, and you simply do not “know” ahead of time what you are “supposed” to do. You might feel safer if God simply dictated every little step to you, but He won’t do that. You are not a robot, you are gloriously alive and part of the story yourself. That is scary, but it should also be exhilarating. (You have a say!)\n\nYou might end up picking someone who is similar to you, and marriage will be easy to make work -- but you won't be very challenged. Or you might end up picking someone with whom marriage is very difficult at first, but God still can make the marriage work and deepen as beautifully as the first option.\n\nMeanwhile, God wants you to be faithful to him in whatever you do. Act as He would have you in this relationship and see where it goes. If the relationship deepens (you grow to care about each other, your faith is leading you both in the same direction, and so on), let it deepen and see what happens. \n\nPray about it, pray for your romantic partner, focus on long-term growth and ask God for direction. Ask older wiser folks you trust for their opinions.\n\nMeanwhile, enjoy the friendship that is flowering. The abundant life (and by that I meant the spiritually fulfilling one, not the hedonistic pleasure-at-all-cost one) is meant to be lived and experienced.\n\nDon’t focus on whether or not you are “making a mistake” by perhaps not picking the earmarked person from the pool of 6 billion, that’s a fearful way to live. Focus on what God is doing in you and this person right now while you’re together, learn from it, and go where it takes you.

I think its possible to fall in love with that person's spirit or how you perceive their spirit and soul. It takes years sometimes to find out if a person is who you believe they are. As for a physical attraction, that will take an in person meeting. But maybe this is how you were supposed to meet your soulmate so take a chance otherwise you might regret it later and always wonder....what if?

Well I am currently dating a Libra and he is still unsure after 3 years if he wants to move this relationship to the next level.  I ask him and he freaks out that I am pressuring him.  We really don't have conflicts.  Just basic relationship woes everyone goes through.  I knew he liked me when he started calling me on a daily basis.  He doesn't like talking on the phone and doesn't answer it unless it's me calling.
