Do either have you have friends who you go out with?
Or are you both pretty quiet people?

The relationship clearly isn't for you so I'd just speak to her as soon as you can. Pointless wasting your time and maybe her time. The sooner you both finish it the sooner you can get out there and be single or find someone who shares the same interests as yourself and you can start enjoying life more. Maybe find someone a bit closer to home?

I take it either of you aren't experienced that much in life and relationships? Sex wise and experience?

Get out there. Sample everything there is thumbup 25 is only young and you only live once.
I'm 26 btw, happily in a relationship and have been for 8 years, due to be married next month.

Everyone is different but you can't attach yourself to someone who you don't see/ don't speak to in a meaningful way/ don't experience things with.

OP, can't believe you are going to wait.

Ring her up tonight and do it.
Get it over with.
By the sounds of it you aren't that close or attached to each other so it may come as a relief to her and you.
I'm sure she will be ok.
Don't drag it on any longer.

(And it will save you fuel money and the cost of a card and present!)

Don't be single, its a trap
try and sort it out, otherwise there could be a long wait until you get some again.

I'm 26 and a virgin through no fault of my own.

But I've already bought her presents and I can't send them back (didn't bloody think that one through did I?! It was £50 haha).

I am very chatty and outgoing. A smallish but pretty good circle of friends, I see very regularly. No issues talking with other people.
Other than that my car and motorcycle keep me busy and happy :-)

She has a smaller circle of friends. She does Brownie leading and stuff and I think only really sees her friends when she's doing that. It's very rare she says she went out and did anything that wasn't with her parents.

I'm plenty experienced in relationships haha. Her less so. Before me she wasn't with anyone for over 8 years.
I've just never been fortunate enough to be the one breaking up with the other person so it's a bit of a new experience for me hahaha.

Because its a state of no sex/having to pay for sex - and it can last a long time, like its lasted me.

Hit-man? Romanians are quite cheap, aren't they? Gets you out of that 'awkward' conversation...

I'm going to be cruel to be kind here.

After reading your situation I'm struggling to see what relationship you are trying to get out of.

You hardly see her.

She's been to your house once in 8 months.

You don't (or haven't?) slept together.

You don't talk, you don't laugh, you basically don't do anything together.

Bottom line? Your relationship doesn't exist, you are simply 2 people that spent 4 years texting each other who have met face to face and continue to do the same albeit with a different label.

You don't have a relationship, you have a friend that you text and see occasionally.

Respectfully either I've not been clear or you don't read very well.
I see her every other weekend.

you can be cruel but you need to be factual first :-)

He's not getting any IN a relationship! It can't be worse out of a relationship.

Being in a bad/non-functional relationship is not necessarily better than being single.

And WTF to your other comment, but that is probably for another thread.

It's pointless being in a relationship if it's not for you.

If you've been in relationships before and can speak to girls without sounding like a stalker then don't listen to sunny.

Life is too short.

Seeing someone every other weekend, not talking, not laughing and not sleeping together isn't a relationship chum.

Sorry you think it is.

At least you don't need to think about how to break it to her now.
