Serious Relationships: What made you go from casual ones?

[piinyouri]

Well prior to my relationship now, I never had any casual relationships.
I will agree with the second poster and anyone else who says you can't plan for it.

I found my guy on a he hentai image board.
A fucking hentai image board.
Possibly the last place you'd expect to find decent, loving, kind human beings.

And he's amazing.
Bet your ass I'm not giving him up.
Anytime his flaws get to me too much, and any thoughts of "trying again" occur, I remind myself I'll never get this lucky again in a whole lifetime.

Relationships? What are those?

Nah, I don't wanna be that guy, but all of you that have that unbelievable luxury of choosing what kind of relationship you want don't realize how lucky you are. There are people out there who are 20, and not massively awkward and nerdy, that have absolutely no dating experience. And since we're talking about casual sex, let's throw sexual experience in there too. Not referring to myself here, of course.

To not sound like a whiny baby, I'd like to ask, if I may, how common is casual sex, anyways? Is everyone doing it nowadays? Is it assumed that if you're currently "putting yourself out there", that you've had it? Would it be weird to be entering the dating pool now, and not have had any experience?

Truth is...you don't plan for it. It happens.

This is probably the only thing you need to realize.

Speaking as someone who never really went for anything long-term with regards to womenfolk...Last year I fecked off to Australia with some friends, on a lads mission to tear shit up! Few months pass and I'd met an Israeli chick, went separate ways from the guys I had adventured with and continued traveling with her. Over a year goes by, I'm back home (in Ireland) and she's only fuckin followed me! Happy days tho...

I've more than once found myself wondering "wha....what just happened!?"

Still, as our man Colin would say: "Love's not something you can plan for, is it?"

I'm turning 18 on Thursday, and me and my girlfriend have been together for almost 2 years (since Grade 10 in high school, starting April), and the truth is, I've never really had a "Casual relationship". I don't even know how to really classify a serious or casual relationship. All the relationship experience I've seriously had has been with my current GF, which, God bless her heart, has stuck by me through thick & thin, because she's probably crazy. Seriously, I've a lousy boyfriend. The only other "Relationship Experience" I've had, which wasn't even really an experience, was with this girl who I had a crush on. One thing lead to another, and she told me she liked me too. Except,we never really dated. Outside of chat and text, we barely even talked. After figuring out that she's actually batshit crazy, we cut it off and I haven't talked to her since (thank God), but that was probably the most "casual relationship" I've ever had, but you can't even really call it a relationship.

Still though, coming from a guy who's in a serious relationship, it's pretty great! You have someone to rely on whenever everyone else has backed out on you, and it's good to have someone that actually listens to you before jumping into conclusions, something a lot of other people do.

Oddly I have been dating my first girlfriend for going on 7 years now. I guess I don't really see much point in casual relationships all that much. I would rather have a close relationship with someone. Even from a sex point of view having sex with someone who knows all your buttons can be a lot of fun I would imagine being with someone you don't know would be awkward and it would be hard to get into it cause your rhythms would be way off.
