I tend to think the same. It just doesn't seem feasible for everyone in the world to have a perfect other half. People who are more attracted to you than others, yes. But perfect match? I highly doubt it. I don't mean to bum down anyone, that's just my 2 cents.Samurai Goomba said:
Yeah, life just doesn't work that way. Thanks to Disney all us adults are still carrying around the idea that relationships shouldn't require work/sacrifice, and that you'll instantly and always 100% feel total love, attraction and rapture for your significant other (conversely, when you stop feeling any of that you should get a divorce because the relationship is "broken").Jannycats said:
The divorce rate in America is about 50%. I wonder what it would be in a world where Disney never had existed. This is about the time all the people who grew up on Disney movies would be becoming adults and getting married, and I think modern TV is also somewhat suffering from the affects of the "Disney relationship."
Part of the reason I'm unwilling to judge the strength of my own relationship is that it's new, and new relationships are always fun. Spending a month or two with somebody is nothing like spending 50 years with that person.
"Love of your life" Bah! Humbug! There are no such thing!
You may meet somebody who you find yourself attracted to. Perhaps you see each other several more times and find that a bond is begining to form. You'll start to really like them and them you. Love may start to grow between the two of you as you find things out about them that causes your attraction to grow. Intimacy will form and not long after, loyalty. As the two of you begin to experience life not as individuals, but as a couple you will soon be unable to live happily without them. Then on your deathbed you will realize that that person was the one person in your life that you loved the most. And you will be happy.
But there is no True Love, or Love at First Sight. Love is a bond that grows between two people, not something that forms spontaneously or that always existed because that was "your destiny". There may eventually be someone who you love most of all, but its not because that's "the way it's suppose to be". It's because chance threw you together and from that initial contact something beautiful formed. I know that not really all that romantic, but its what I believe.
(No.)

Does gaming count?
Supposedly not, then no, just broke with my girlfriend about 2 month ago after over 3 years together.
I'm seeing some new, who is really sweet, but it's just casual atm. And we don't consider ourselves to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
So no, i haven't yet.

I Don't do dating, hate fake people. They pretend to be someone they're not to fit in. It can only end in tears.
I'm a honest guy, I feel I've met an honest woman, and I like to think that somewhere down the line she'll let go of her emotional baggage and open up to me.
As it stands she's a very close friend and we have alot of fun together. But something about the past stops her from letting me get too close. So I be the best friend I can be, and hope that circumstances change. I'm not going to force another relationship to only have it break when shit gets tough.
My only guidance (which is itself questionable) to women is: understand what YOU want, and what you think THEY want. With a little talking and some practice in communication it really isn't too hard to get to know people. Finding the "right" person can be difficult, but I'd rather be the right guy than have her find another wrong one.
As far as short term stuff goes I have no clue and have never investigated. But I have friends who have alot of fun without getting too serious, and without hurting anyone too much either.
Don't assume that your (or their) expectations are solid, it should be fluid, testing out the shape of things around you if you really want to get anywhere.

Here's hoping. I need to work on my trust issues, then everything will be fine.
I can see myself marrying him, but that may change in a few years.
