Different personalities

I would just like some of your ideas on this cause its something which my bf said to me which made me think if we are really right for each other.

We have been going out a few months and he said to me that we both have different personalities - he's the loud outgoing one, and i'm the quiet, stay indoors type person. He said that because our personalities are different, I might be happier with someome else who is more like me.

Do you think he genuinly thinks i might be happier with someone else, or has he said this cause he doesn't want to go out with me anymore so is suggesting this?

You're too boring for him but he's just trying to let you down nicely.

Thats possibly a bit harsh...

opposites can attract, but if hes saying that you might be happier with someone else it probably suggests that either he is insecure and worried about this, or that he doesn't feel the relationship is right for him and is trying to make you see.

if this is is a one off comment i wouldn't worry about it too much... it doesn't mean he is bored of you.

Hmm yeah that's probably true. Just because you have different personalities doesn't mean you're not compatible though. But in this case I think he wants out...

Thanks for the replies

What is confusing me is that if i invite him to my house, like what i'm doing tomorrow, he is all for it. I'm sure that if he wanted out of the relationship he wouldn't come round and would make an excuse

Yeah I reckon opposites can attract. Depends how long you've known him.

it could be that hes insecure and wondering what you want with him or he could be having second thoughts, its hard to tell form a post lol.

my bf is more outgoing than me and definitely more charismatic. i used to be really shy and i still am when im meeting people that i need to get on with. ie bfs old mates or people at work who i know im going to see every weekday for a long while. we are still good together though.
