I like meeting people and wanting to date someone but I seem to find myself worrying that because I've got other interests and hobbies, I worry that a relationship won't last with me. I recently watched some cutscenes from the new Indiana Jones game and there was a scene where Marion had left him a gift but their relationship had ended and Marcus confronts him that she rang him because I was always "chasing the past" and Marcus tells him "You can't just run away from your problems." I even am reminded of the British film Hot Fuzz where Nicholas Angel played by Simon Pegg speaks to his ex about moving away and tells him "That he doesn't know how to switch off." And that he seems to care more about his job than his relationship with her.

Then you aren't ready to get married

Use this waiting period (singlehood) to work on yourself so you can eventually get to the point of marriage readiness!

Learn all you can about the dynamics of married life and parenthood

That is what I am doing

Also, consult a therapist
