... that you don't love her.

I don't know if this is the right forum or not, but I'm gonna shoot it in here anyways... Don't know what to do...

I'm 24 years old, own a house, have a steady, decent paying job. I just started going to the gym every night and I'm the kind of person who loves to go out and have a good time.

I have been dating a girl for about 15 months now. She is 20, has no ambition in life, she lost her full college scholarship because she would rather sit around the house and do housework when she's not working at her part-time job.

To me, the spark is gone... I enjoyed it for the first few months, then she basically moved in (mainly because my roommate gave her his spare key).

She has no common sense about anything, doesn't like any of my friends, has no friends of her own, and it's hard to even make conversation with her anymore because we're on two totally different levels... I'm a computer geek. She's the ex-highschool cheerleader...

I know she's not using me for my money because she never asks me for anything...

Last weekend, I met up with an old friend of mine that I hadn't seen in a few years... She was a girl that I used to mess around with back in high school. We went to a bar, had a few drinks, listened to a local band, and reminisced about the past. I had a GREAT time with her.

Before anyone judges me by the above paragraph, nothing happened between us. I'm not sure anything would have, but I wasn't even going to try, knowing that I had a girlfriend waiting at home for me...

I have had a few propositions from girls recently and it's hard to keep saying no, when I really don't love the girl that I'm with now..

Now, onto my question... How do I tell a girl that is deathly in love with me, that lives with me, and that wants so badly to marry me... that i don't want to date her anymore?

It's not that I want to have sex with all these other girls... I actually want a break from dating for a while.. I was in a 5 year relationship with someone just a couple months before I got together with my current girlfriend (which could also be part of the problem). In the couple months between, I dated a few girls that just weren't my type.

I want to let her down nice, because she is generally a sweet girl. I just know that she is not the one for me.

What's the best way to go here... I don't want to keep her hanging on if there's no point to it, but it's hard to end it, knowing how much she cares for me...

Any advice... please....
