What to do about my attraction to an unambitious guy?

[Anonymous]

The guy I am dating is probably one of the most unambitious guys I know. He works at a minimum wage job and never finished school. He is sweet and has a lot of heart, but doesn't want to move forward in his life. I am accomplished for my age and my parents don't like it that I am with this guy. I like him, but I can't help being conflicted because of the lack of ambition I see in him that is so dominant in me. Should I listen to my parents and end the relationship?

Depends if you are looking for something long term. Do you see yourself being able to build a family with him? Also, he might need some encouragement. Behind every great man is a supportive woman. Tell him you think he has a lot of potential and you just want him to realize that potential.

so why is this attractive? I see this often. I am not sure if it because a guy that is ambitious/driven is threatening, or girls just want sweetness. you need to decide what you want but this is more common than I would have thought.

Yes you should..I honestly don't think he's going to change and you can't make him till he wants to which could take a really long time.It sounsd like you know the whole sitatuion at hand and he's just going to hold you down.

I think it's best to end the relationship , he may just drag you down with him. Break up with him now before things go deeper between you two.

Could it be that in him you see someone easily controllable? Or perhaps he offers safety, someone who can't hurt you.
