Just moved in with her yesterday, sitting next to her laughing at the new Sunday Funnies living the life I've always dreamed of.
Haha, this place loves relationship threads for some reason. Considering the result of these polls is always a large majority of single, lonely people it's like every so often someone else needs to remind us that we're alone with nobody who loves us besides our families. Sigh.
I found love once, long time ago now but I really did love her. Alas it was not to be. I'm not going to lie to myself or anyone else by saying that being alone doesn't bother me, it's pretty much the only thing that does bother me. To have what everyone else seems to take for granted in the sense of close, affectionate interaction with another human being would be wonderful. I know however I'm not right for a relationship at the present time, as much as I want one.

I haven't, and I don't think I will for a while. For one thing, I'm not looking. That, and i am terrible at interpreting all those signals and such.

Signal problems?
When we first started going out one of her mates told me she was a closed book and to watch out for it. She was right. I'm very much a heart of my sleeve kinda guy. My g/f is not. When we first did the whole "I love you" thing, she told me not to expect to hear it too often. Its funny though, she does not say it much, but she shows it the whole time.
Anyhoo, this kinda thing leaves me wondering how committed she is to a long thing, marriage, ect. She may think about stuff like that and want it to happen, but she would never let on to me!
Unlike a lot of people, I do believe in soulmates. Maybe not quite 'love at first sight', but after meeting my boyfriend, I believe that there truly are people that you're meant to be with. People who make you a stronger person. And I can claim, with all honesty and sincerity, that Shane is my 'better half'.
I've never felt like this about a man before, and I'm about 95% positive he feels exactly the same way about me.

Yes ^^
But the one glaring reality you'll find when you're with someone for more than 2 years is that things become more routine and your relationship becomes a partnership founded not just on passionate intimacy and "butterflies fluttering in your stomach whenever you think about them", but on solid trust, devotion (without being overly depedendent)and communication.
Most relationships fall apart because people have unrealistic expectations of what a relationships is or what their partner should be like. More importantly, that "routine" that comes into play after being with someone for a while usually sends immature lovers running for the hills. They seem to think that they have to breakup as soon as things seem boring.. but in reality when the pheramones start to calm down it's usually a good thing (you're growing up).

This i believe.Irony said:
No, but one can hope right? But sadly I feel deep down, that I will die before I find anyone. And no its not me being dramatic, but I feel it; and it is the scariest thing ever. I am thinking about joining the military, and with my track record in life, I don't think I would make it out. And I am thinking of joining because I feel I would be wasting my life living any other way.
Well, I am now experiencing a small emotional breakdown and have no idea why I am posting this but whatever.
No, I am not trying at all.
That being said, I still am a little boy, so I shouldn't be looking either way.
