Default Relationship advice for a confused teenager?

I am seventeen and my boyfriend and I have been together for almost 4 months now. However, in the past week, I've been thinking of him as a friend. Is this a phase? Does it mean that my interest in him in declining? I don't want to lose interest in him, he's a great guy, however, sometimes he can be a bit boring. For example, when he's with me its very mundane, but with his friends he's spontaneous. I wish he'd be more spontaneous with me. I need some advice here?Also he's going away to England for 3 weeks. Would this be a great time to evaluate our relationship?IThere are some factors that make me think this way because my boyfriend chooses not to speak with me about certain things such as how he is feeling and his uncle's death. Also he's going through a rough time such as his mom's health problems and financial problems. I want to be a supportive girlfriend and I want to be there for him, but he won't tell me anything. I've talked to him about him not being spontaneous and not talking to anyone about his problems and he just tells me"thats the way I am."

At 17 i feel is to early in life to be to serious about any one. Yes take the 3 weeks and evaluate the relationship. You have high school to finish, then college or what every kind of school you choose. You should have lots of friends male and female. Do you want to be tied down to a full time boyfriend????

yes it would be a great time to do so. No you aren't losing interests you just need a break...the 3 weeks will be perfect for that.

Everyone is right about needing a break, but you need to talk to him and let him know what you are feeling. Especially the part about how he is with you, and then how he is with his friends. Maybe he thinks you're not into being spontaneous or fun. Take the inititive and SHOW him. Plan a going away party for two. It doesn't have to be a huge ordeal, just something simple. You dont always have to wait for him to make plans. Just be open and honest with him about your feelings, but without the drama. If it is meant to be, it will last through the 3 weeks he's gone. If you want to something extra special so he wont forget you while he's gone. Write him a letter, give it to him and tell him not to read it until he's in England. This way, he'll at least be thinking about you, part of the time he's gone )Good Luck!
