It can become very unhealthy when someone enters a relationship but doesn't know how to balance being in a relationship, and having their own interests, friends etc...

I was a lot like you describe when I was much younger, and thank God I listened to my mom and put dating on hold. Because even when I got older, I still let my relationship consume me, imagine if I had dated during high school!

"A" student would've probably dropped out!

What I'm trying to say is this, if you can't live your life and have a bf, then you probably shouldn't even have a bf right now.

Firstly it screws up your days and nights (no writing, no living, just waiting to be noticed by bf)... and then it also places undue pressure on the bf, because he's now unwillingly responsible for your very happiness... and that's really unfair.

A relationship isn't about being someone's reason to breath, nobody's life should revolve around another's.

Ideally, there should be 2 whole people, combining their lives together.

Now you're already dating, I'm not saying you guys should break up, that's not my call at all. But what I am saying is find a way to strike that balance, where you spend more time enjoying yourself than waiting for his attention. Find that balance where your world or life doesn't revolve around what bf is feeling, saying or doing. Where you don't wait around to see his move before you make yours...

Find that balance before you drive the 2 of you apart. I know its hard, balance is really not my forté, but 4 yrs later my current bf is still around, so I dare say I have gotten much better at it over time.
