Am I an asshole for not liking him?

I'm dating a guy who is very nice, but the more we hang out, the more I start to realize I'm not into him. So obviously it's not a match here, but I feel the reasons why I dont like him are bad. Here are the reasons clear cut.

Hes never been in a relationship and therefore always needs me to tell him what to do or how something works. (I just got out of a relationship with person that hadn't been in a relationship before and didnt know what he wanted. It created confusion as hed change his mind about big stuff once he realized what he liked or didnt like)

Hes also inexperienced in life in general, doesn't know where to go or what to. I feel like I have to hold his hand through everything. Where to go when going to a new place, deciding what to eat. Making all the decisions for every little thing is draining and so Is holding someone's hand.

Hes a pothead. I dont dislike pot, it's just not for me, and I generally dont care if someone smokes but everyday its pot and video games. I like to be spontaneous here and there if I get a few days off work. I dont find "sorry I'm high rn" everyday attractive.

He lives with his sister after being kicked out of his parents house. This only bothers me because he really only prioritizes pot and video games. And hes 29 years old.

Does this make me superficial? I'm not the type of person to ask for change in another's personality. And I've never dated a guy that I decided I'm really not into. I'm just feel more turned off every time he stares at me with the "deer in the headlights" look any times it comes to making a decision. Any. Kind. Of. Decision.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
