A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Me and my boyfriend have been going out for 5 months now, some days he will tell me he loves me and thinks I'm great other days he barely speaks to me. Then we had this whole argument of how he chose me over his friends and he never got to see them, and i was like well okay be with your friends more, but now it seems to have gone too far, he is always with his friends! I make plans to go into town with him and then he just goes yeah I'm going to my friends house today. I get it that guys love their friends, but is it fair that I'm always second on his priorities?

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom +, writes (9 December 2010):

The issue is that you're ready for a relationship, whereas your boyfriend is not. Boys take longer to mature than girls, and this is one of the problems in teenage years. Most girls are ready for dating, whereas most boys just don't really get it at all.

I think this is the problem with your relationship. At his age, your boyfriend just wants to have fun, and not really have to worry about commitment. The simple fact is, if he's not committed enough and mature enough for a relationship, then you should probably just move on. You shouldn't be second best. But I do understand why your boyfriend acts this way. He's just not ready for a girlfriend.
