    single, relationship and recent breakup
    Hey guys, Recently out of a 3 year relationship, its been 2 months.

    Anyway i was going to stay single for a while, i was going out drinking with my boys etc having a good time (my relationship was over a year ago but held on for comfort reasons).

    Anyway i was looking to pull girls/sleep with them, a few ONS etc. I kissed a good amount of girls but one night met this girl through some friends and we have been out 3 times and although i wasent looking for it i really get on well with this girl and actually considering being in a relationship with her if things keep going ok.

    The problem im having is whether to stay single for a while as im young (23) and worry about settling down in a few years or get with this girl, she is a great laugh and is really lovely which is what makes this decision harder. Help me out with what to do guys. Do relationships last when people get together at 23?, i know its rare they do if your like 16-21, but how about when you are both 23? Is it worth trying to commit to one girl at this age?

    If you like her go for it! You don't know what will come of it, and if you don't want to, nothing has to. Just take it a step at a time.

    Yeh i suppose, im just scared we will break up in like 3-4 years and ill be 26-27 and single, no longer able to 'club it up' to pull chicks etc and having to start looking at other ways to get girls, its so easy at my age its funny. Also i have recently got a good mate because we are both single, we both out on 'the pull' and have a really good laugh and if i get a gf he wont want to go out with me as much and we just wont have that same laugh

    Seriously, grow up!

    Give this girl you're knocking about with a chance; if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. If you get into a relationship with her and things don't work out down the line, that's life! Age is just a number, and guess what? people of ages 26/7 still go out to bars, clubs and enjoy themselves. Many also find their bf/gf there too *shocking*!

    The ages you just said is the age that I am, and going out every now and again does me the world of good. I can only assume your friends make it a regular occurrence which might sum up why they are bored of it :dontknow:? Yes, at 26 I should ''technically'' have a bf, looking to find a house and getting ready to settle down. But that's not the case, and im not rushing into anything. Not going to lie, it would be nice, but seriously what will be will be. That to one side, with regards to the girl you mentioned, seriously just give the girl a chance . . .otherwise if you leave it too late, she may move onto someone else (if you continue to 'dilly-dally' about)! . .
