I wouldn't say I'd be totally lost, but I will say, that I have more often than not only had to think about myself, instead of including another person. |
I think your reasoning is ok, makes sense to me. I mean you have SOME frame of reference in being in a relationship so that will obviously help and it IS a lot easier if you are constantly in relationships to continue the pattern. But it's not a huge obstacle if you haven't been in one in a while. (at least I don't think it would be in your case.) (I'm not talking from the relationship point of view obviously...just figure I'd comment anyway if that's cool). |

Kelly, I haven't seen you in years, it's so nice to see you've found somebody, you deserve it! I'm very happy for all you girls in here that have that sparkle in your eye when you think of your partner.
The question I have fo ryou now is... have you always been "relationship" type people??? Cause I often think that if you are consistently in a relationship, it's much easier for you to work on them, therefore you become a better girlfriend/boyfriend.

so glad u posted this thread my friend. :gsmile:
as for experience in relationships yes I have dated quite a bit and have been through good times and bad times...but either way, you must know all that is VERY IRRELAVANT...b/c once you meet the one you are meant to be with you'll just become the best person you can ever be..inside and out. It just works....yeah ppl say love takes work and yada yada but in the end I think true love just works out all on it's own if it's meant to be. Thanks how it all happened for me anyway :)
Good luck to you!! |

Ever notice that almost every woman's profile has one or both of the following:
1) "I like to travel"
2) "I like a guy who makes me laugh" ?
What do they really mean? |

| Do long-distance relationships after you first met in person count? I was always a true believer in online/phone relationships until recently. :( |

I'm not speaking for myself because frankly I think I've beaten anyone on this site for being with someone the longest (going on 10+ years now...almost 6 years of marriage) but to add a different perspective in terms of a few close friends of mine I think after a while if you haven't been in a relationship you should work extra hard when you end up in one to brush up on those skills.
I have two friends I met around the same time, guy and a girl. For the life of me I can't remember either of them being in a serious relationship having known them each around 4 years. They both basically drift and "see" people but nothing special comes out of it. They both seem to not even try and give up far too quickly if the person they are seeing isn't perfect. I used to think they were picky but now I wonder if they have become so used to being single that they are not able to have healthy relationships with someone. It is quite possible because as one moves to different stages in life alone they start to feel they don't need anyone to be happy. Either that or they just are too lazy to deal with being in a relationship because they really are work...(probably the best effort you can make as the rewards are amazing if it works out)
I actually think it's really good Mortyman and commend you and anyone else who actually wants to be in a relationship and works at finding one.
Good luck to you! :) |

You see, this is exactly where I kinda feel like I'm fitting into.
But what Kelly said before brings light to the end of that tunnel :) |

It's the exact opposite really. I used to be on a website called MMTO, whose main purpose it was to pick up. This is what I used it for originally, but I started to get really bored and annoyed with profile hunting (I later started using it just for the forums). I found most of the people on that site projected an image of what they wish they were, but in real life were usually really shy and nothing like what they made themselves seem to be. It is a lot easier to socialize and make yourself seem like a confident person online since a lot of people feel a lot less akward when communicating online.
Secondly, I find that these online dating profile sites really inflates girls' egos. Because of the artificial confidence I just mentioned, suddenly every guy who is too nervous to talk to girls in person is messaging every single girl he thinks is hot. You then have girls getting tons of messages everyday, which boosts her ego like crazy. Sorry, but I don't feel the need to compete with 50 losers to get a girl's attention.
Also, even if you do end up finding a girl who's intersting, I find the whole online courting thing to be a bit lame and something that I'm not really interested learning how to do. "Hi babie u look sexi, and ur so funny haha wanna go for dinner?" :rolleyes: |
