I want Jennifer Lawrence. But I don't think I can make that happen.

Make it happen, or don't complain that he's not riding up to your front door on a unicorn. Or settle.

Why on earth would anyone want Jennifer Lawrence? Befuddling.

She's very clearly a weirdo with daddy issues. Her boyfriend is nearly 50. She's narcissistic.

But obviously it's simply looks when it comes to dating, right? If so, there are plenty of Hollywood actresses who are better looking IMHO.

Yaas. I thought OP was married with kids reading the title. Be thankful the BF didn't become the husband and move on.

Dating for 5 years when you started dating at 25 is definitely a red flag OP!

I think you should marry him, once he is married he will definitely come around and be driven to provide for you and a future family. Many always changed once they are married.

If you think you picked the wrong guy, break up with him. That said, I'm not sure what you mean by he doesn't "inspire or impress you." Those seem like things people say about their SO when they are trying to sound snobbish or come up with something unique. Obviously much more elevated than good listener, shares emotions, participates in household chores, and good in the sack, all of which I feel are much more important.

Excellent advice. The monotony of a mortgage, household responsibilities, and spending your weekends shuffling from one kid's sporting even to another are often what make men turn into the "real men" we've always wanted. Nothing will make you feel inspired like when you peel back the covers to go pee in the middle of the night during your first pregnancy and the smell of old farts nearly knocks you back in bed.

Op this person was being sarcastic. DO NOT marry your bf.

After a few years you either dump them or get married. Didn't mamma teach you that?

I wouldn't mind dating her. I think she is FINE.

I knew he was sort of aloof and immature but I thought that's good. If he knew better he wouldn't want me!

5 years later I feel like I settled. I want a guy that impresses me and inspires me. I find I have to guide my BF through life and it is tiresome. I'm not learning anything new or feeling particularly enriched.

You're not married, OP> This is what dating is for. Break up with him and move on.
