Search Results: getting a girlfriend relationship

I’ve been dating my girlfriend Lucy for a year. Lucy has a lot of good values. She’s smart with her money and has no debt. We’re thinking about getting married in the new year. I’m 33 and she’s 43, so there’s no time waste. But 90% of her friends are male, so only has 3 female friends. Which is kind of strange to me. She’s not a tomboy, these dudes aren’t gay, so why would she be so close to other men? She has a guy friend Alex that she texts a lot. Every time Alex has a girlfriend she doesn’t like his relationship with Lucy. Also, Alex doesn’t text Lucy as often when he’s dating, and Lucy gets pissed that he’s neglected. I wrote about this in another question.

We’ve had arguments about her male friends and she told me that I’m “too jealous”, and that she’ll stop hanging around men for our relationship. She showed me her texts to prove there’s nothing going on with the guys, but I’m still uncomfortable.

On the flip side she hates that my best friend is a 69 year old woman whom I FaceTime once awhile. So how can I accept her guy friends and she doesn’t like me being friends with an elderly woman? She also got mad at me for going a girls apartment with a crowd.

I feel like I’m in love because I’ve never felt this way about anyone before and I have done some pretty special things for her that I’ve never done before for anyone. Not even when I was in a relationship with my first girlfriend three years ago. I’ve tried moving on multiple times, but she would still be on my mind. I have many reasons why I like my crush.

To me, that two reasons that stick out to me is that she’s caring and that she brings out the best in me whenever I’m around her and talking to her. I see her every week. I’ve tried moving to other girls on dating apps and in person, but I don’t see them the same way. The person I like means a lot to me. Whenever she’s sick and tells me that she’s not doing well, I show my concern and let her know that I hope she gets better, and that I’ll be praying.

Lately, I’ve been concerned about her getting the coronavirus because she doesn’t really wear a mask. She told me that I don’t need to be worried because she’s not afraid of the virus. I’m still concerned and ask her how she’s feeling sometimes. It doesn’t matter what she says because I’ll still care and be concerned. I see her every week and I always take the initiative to help her out in away that I can. She appreciates my help.

She's only 19 years old and has never been in a relationship before, and has never gotten this much attention from a guy before from what she told me. My crush isn’t interested in me, but I feel things can possibly change because she’s still young and is still trying to discover yourself and see what she wants in a guy. I could be wrong. I care about her and would like to be there. More than just a friend though.

Feeling this way about her is new to me. I’m curious, if I’m in love and curious to know, if girls like guys that they didn’t for before? Just wondering, if a girls feelings can change.
