We've been dating for almost 5 months after being friends for a *very* long time. Mutual admiration finally led us together this year. As a matter of fact, she's my first gf in years - i really like her! She's wonderful and we compliment each other in a lot of ways, her family likes me and my family likes her and on the surface everything is hunky-dory.

The problem is we led (and still lead, though since we do a lot of stuff together it has converged slightly) very different lifestyles. She likes being in bed by 11 and waking up early to go run. I will beat the night into submission and sleep till noon. I love doing drugs (no habits though - quit smoking last year) and she's okay with my use but has never done anything besides drink a little and has little to no interest in exploring further. Blowjobs are also painfully absent - she just isn't as enthusiastic about them to make them sexy, and as a result I'm not as into it and so she doesn't like them. I thought I would be okay with this as we have lots of sex but now I really miss them.

Finally I know that I'm not ready to settle down in any sense - I'm not ready to not be single again, and knowing this makes it feel like I'm being disingenuous to myself and to her continuing the relationship like this. I love her and I want to not hurt her and a lot of things that I feel like I'm complaining about feel selfish, but I just don't think I'm ready as a person to really give her the relationship she deserves.
