Help deciding whether or not to break up with my girlfriend

[Edan]

I have been dating a girl for about half a year, and lately I have been wondering whether the relationship between us is healthy and if it should go on.

The reasons why I think I should breakup are:
1. I feel that I am attracted to other girls more than to her
2. We don't have enough things in common. We like different music\series\movies\food\books\...
We also have different taste in things.
3. We have different lifestyles,
I am an engineer, I like to read books, learn things, I always look for ways to improve my life and have a better future.
and she spends most of her time with friends, or watching TV, or just spending time doing nothing at home.
4. Sometimes I feel she is needy

The reasons why I think I should keep the relationship:
1. She is really a very good person, she cares about me, and loves me too much
2. I feel she is very loyal to me

On one hand, I feel I should breakup, on the other hand, I am afraid to regret this.

I would appreciate any advice you can give.

Thanks

Just for reason number 1, you should end things. There will always be some people who are more attractive than your partner. But for people who are in love, this is a non-issue.

Your reasons to keep the relationship are not relevant. You think you'll never again date a woman capable of being loyal, is a decent person, and will care about you? That's ridiculous.

You don't value who she is because of her interests or lack of them. Let her go so each of you can find someone more compatible. And of course she will be upset but you will be doing her a favor, even if she doesn't realize it.

Let her go. She'll figure out very quickly that you're interested in other women and seem conflicted.

Yes. 6 mos dating is precisely to see if you are a good fit and compatible and in this case, you're not.

Be kind and don't string her along. Just end it diplomatically with an "it's me, not you" type reason, because it is you. You're restless and dissatisfied.

Usually when we feel attracted to the person its not just physical look. Its the number of things you said like things in common, same lyfestyle etc. You dont have any of that aside that she is being nice and loyal. So is the puppy. If you want that, buy a puppy. But for a relationship you need somebody compatible. You see now that you arent that. Which makes me wonder why you even entered that relationship in the first place when you seem to have nothing in common.

You've been dating half a year... In that time you'd come to know whether that person is for you or not.

Obviously she is not.  

With you having such doubts says enough.

Don't drag this on anymore.  Be honest, and move on.

That's describing the benefits of having a pet, not a girlfriend.  Yes I would end things.

If you have to question whether or not to breakup with your girlfriend, obviously you have doubts so breakup.  According to your list, you have more cons than pros so there is your answer.

If you need to ask, there's your answer.

Find a GOOD match for yourself, and you'll thank yourself later.

Notice you say nothing about how you feel about her? 

That's how you know it's time to end it. She's really into you, but you're not that into her. And that's not a critique against you, but you have realized that the interest and desire just isn't mutual. It's time to respectfully go your separate ways.

Thank you all for the advice!
We broke up about 2 weeks ago, and I feel I did the right thing.
