So far, I second everything VG has said. Might add: I'm not sure how I'd feel about myself afterwards if I were to do something I knew beforehand was likely to directly hurt, damage or complicate other people's lives, however convenient an excuse things not going well in either quarter might seem to be. Might also add: If you never have been, maybe you SHOULD spend some time alone, sans any serious romantic involvements. I can't imagine how anyone can know themelves if they've never spent time with themselves without the presence and force of another person distracting their attention and shaping their perspective.
