I have been dating Kim for a couple of months now, and am coming to the realization that I can't do anymore to continue the relationship like it is. I've mentioned her in other threads so those of you that have read them know the circumstances.
We have been dating but are not exclusive, I wanted more, but she doesn't right now. I give and give and give but never seem to get anything in return. last weekend, I took a couple of loads of her kids laundry home to wash them. (her dryer is broken) I found out later that she had went out on a date with another guy while I was doing the laundry. That part doesn't bother me so much as the not willing to commit part, but does play a factor in my decision on what to do. I have dated other women too.
I've tried and tried and really care for her, and she says that she cares for me. I just can't keep giving and not get anything in return. I'm not talking about sex here, that part is great. It's the little things like a phone call or text that says
"hi", or the "hey, come over later", or the back rub, or the walk. Everything comes from me. We are really good friends, and I'd like to keep being her friend, and I know that that is possible.
So my question is, When do I just give up and be friends?
