What do you do if your girlfriend, who is someone you really love, says she wants to us to become serious, but for reasons you're not ready?
The reason I feel so conflicted is because of my past. For years and years I convinced myself I would never get a girlfriend and never get married. It was thoughts I had by choice. Well, starting a relationship with her happened on accident, it was random. But I'm glad it happened because she's wonderful. just I feel so conflicted with this "serious" thing. What does that even mean? What does going serious entail? I just don't know what to do..

Why don't you ask her to define serious? Just put it under the guise that you wanna be on the same ground since serious can have different meanings for everyone.

She wants me to give up my three nsa sex friends and go monogamous.

If you really love her what are you worried about? And like the other person said just ask her what she means by getting serious. She could mean moving in together or even something as small as spending more time together or meeting each others families etc.

I'm going to assume that isn't you because you already stated you didn't know what she meant when she said to get serious.

Generally being serious with someone implies that you both see each other as being a part of your future plans. It doesn't have to mean kids and marriage, though. Usually it means monogamy, dating exclusively, getting to know each others families and friends and going to important events as a couple. Maybe later on it could mean moving in together or at least discussing things before making extreme desicions like moving to another town. You know, serious grown up stuff, not just fooling around and holding hands at sunset.

>It doesn't have to mean kids and marriage, though.
ohhh ok.. see I was under the impression that "getting serious" meant talk about marriage.
This is the thing, I don't really want to get married. Like, ever. What's confusing me so much is I really like this girl. She really likes me too. I just don't want to be wasting her time. This is confusing to me. Fuck.
