Is it normal to refuse to settle for a girlfriend i don't like that much?

Don't force yourself to do anything. If you really don't want to settle, then go ahead and leave. But it sounds like you don't even really like this girl, you're just with her cause she's right there, which I don't think is a good reason to be with someone.

Why would you stay with her and make her think something more could come of the relationship when you know it wont? I never understand those people who feel the need to be in a relationship constantly... break up with her and chill with the girlfriend thing until you find someone you actually like!

Yeah, it's normal.

I've known guys to have settled and fuck, they're miserable now. Trying to raise kids with someone they can't stand and trying to do "couples therapy" and marriage patch up exercises and just fucking knowing that no matter what he does for her or how much money he spends for presents and home-renovations, cars and all of the stupid shit she likes, their marriage will never be enjoyable.

Don't be with someone that can't make you laugh or that makes you want to leave the room every time they come in. Just tell her that you're not getting what you want out of a relationship and if she isn't mature enough to understand that or at least accept it, then it's a damned good thing that you left now before knockin' her up.

End it. You obviously aren't happy. It will only hurt her more in the end

Having a relationship in college never occurred to me lol. I just had my fun and settled down after. You shouldn't settle for someone ever though. Quit wasting both your and her time and break it off. I'd rather be single than date someone I'm not into but your priorities might be different

Life is way too short to be with someone you aren't even fully attracted too. Definitely do her and you a favor and end it. Have crazy good sex;) and just live your life. You'll find someone perfect for you eventually and you'll feel silly for even considering staying with past gfs

BREAK UP WITH HER RIGHT THIS INSTANT

Surely you are capable of better behaviour. You say you don't like her much nor find her attractive nor respect her - but are willing to pretend you do? That's not settling. That's condescending and insincere. And the wait and shop around attitude is scheming.

Really, just let her go. She doesn't deserve you - of that you can be assured, but not in the way you imagine.

Life is too short no matter how young or old you are to be attached to anyone or anything that just doesn't do it for you. Give her up turn her loose. You'll both be happier with other people. Your girl sounds like she's been feenin' for a boyfriend. Kinda smells like DESPERADO to me, no offense to you however

leave now and don't shock her by leaving her for someone else better to cut it now and be free of the drama later( lol i typed drama, no homo)

If you don't like her, you're doing no one a favor. Stop leading her on to believe that you two could be something you're not. You're going to end up breaking up with her eventually. And if you do it later, then you're going to have a hell of a time trying to deal with that bitch. She will be PISSED OFF. If you do it now, it's just like ripping a band-aid off. Whatever you do, do not let this relationship go past a year. What's worse for her? Losing a six month relationship, or a year long relationship?

Break up with her! Be fair to yourself and to her as well. You never know, it might be the perfect time for you to realize whether you really are into her on not.

Do her a huge ass favor and leave her!! You both will be happy.
