I agree Shannon...however being in a committed relationship worries me. I think the main reason is that when I'm in a relationship with a girl it puts added pressure on me. I feel like I'm on a job and that I need to perform perfectly or else I'm going to get "fired". I love the start of relationships but the end or the break up is always what sucks.
Whenever I'm "just friends" or there is no commitment I feel free. I'm not worried about being perfect because I feel I have nothing to lose. I don't have to do the "boyfriend stuff" like meet her parents or go to family functions if I don't want to because I have no title and therefore have no obligations. I honestly hate this mentality because I am passing up some worthwhile women just because I prefer no commitment or would rather avoid the mess/drama that comes up at the end of the relationship.
To end contact with a friend is 10 times easier IMO than ending contact with a GF or SO.
