Might I ask how old you are? Everyone's first relationship usually seems ideal, until something goes wrong; not that I'm trying to jinx you or anything, I have known of ONE relationship where it was their first and things worked out past a year or so, not to sound jaded or anything . . .Dark Knifer said:My first and only relationship will be going on for 5 months tomorrow (yay) and it's a really excellent relationship. My girlfriend is really committed to me and wants to make me happy and I want to do the same to her. She was shy at first and didn't get her feelings together till after the first month but she got past that and now we have a relationship that's guaranteed to last. I got really, really, really lucky o.o
I am 17 and I can perfectly understand why you'd doubt that it will last. But I can honestly say, without just trying to be hopeful, that I see this working for the long run. From the get go, we both wanted a long term relationship and we really don't have problems with each other, even little ones are almost not there at all. It just helps a lot to go into the relationship thinking like that. I wouldn't blame you at all for still doubting but it's not just me being optimistic, it's a realistic assumption and my best friend (who's an expert at this sort of thing because she can honestly say she's never been wrong about this stuff) agrees it will last.generalvash said:Might I ask how old you are?

Ok, again, best of luck to you. It's just that in my experience the first person you date is rarely the one you spend your life with. Best of luck to you in fact, it's just that after a while the honeymoon phase of the relationship is over and the two normally begin to see problems with the other. God damn, I feel bad for even sounding like I'm trying to come across as casting doubt onto someone who is young and hopeful. I guess what I'm really trying to say is, more power to you, good luck, and just know that if anything does go wrong there are always more fish in the sea.Dark Knifer said:I am 17 and I can perfectly understand why you'd doubt that it will last.

I certainly understand where your coming from but from where I'm standing I'm 100% certain it's going to be just fine![]()
Thanks, don't worry, your not putting a damper on my spirits or anything. I can tell your not trying to fill me with doubt or anything and your opinion is perfectly reasonable. Obviously I'm sure about it and I think it's best to have your hopes high so that you see that as possible. Sure, much more disappointment if it fails but I really cannot fathom that happening. But again, I see your point and thanks for the encouragementgeneralvash said:snip
Well, good luck to you (I presume) sir. If there's anything else I feel that I must inform you of it is this: The longer a relationship progresses the worse it feels when things fall through. Whatever you do, just try to make sure there is something there to catch you if such a thing should arise. Speaking from experience, I have never been so low as the situation I described before replying to your post. Above all else, what friends you have, make sure you keep them close, and again, best of luck to you.Dark Knifer said:Thanks, don't worry, your not putting a damper on my spirits or anything.

Ermm... I hate to burst your bubble, but that pic isn't an endeering one. It's 'correct' usage is when You're rambling on and I honestly don't give a shit, but when you look for a response I basically nod and say, "cool story bro," cause I have no idea what you said because I don't care...novixz said:HumpinHop said:snip
You have no idea how happy I am to see that picture right now! Thanks for the support!
This!natster43 said:Still single like always. Don't really care. I put no effort into trying to get into a relationship anyway. Also I am bad with talking to people.
Shit... eight years on and I still feel that pain. However...Denamic said:My girlfriend died.
I've been in a fair few relationships so far, and I've always been able to move on easily.
But she was taken from me before we could have some kind of 'conclusion'.
No break-up, not even any fights; we got along great.
Then she's just gone.
I feel empty inside even a year and three months later.
This ^^ is very true. 'Remember her, and smile.' Because you can bet she'll be smiling in your memory.Mimssy said:She would want you to be happy. Take as much time as you need before trying to meet someone new. You can always love her and still make things work with another girl. I have a couple young widow friends and it's hard to see them going through this. One has married since that loss. She always says that the pain never really goes away but you can and should love again.
Nnnnnn... one new gf, a one month fuck-buddy and about three years, her living with me for about four months and the amount of crap we've been through... ugh... but yeah, I kinda think I need a new woman in my life just to show me that there're different ones out there. I 'know', but I don't know if you get what I mean... (though I have a feeling that if I described her I will be greeted with a wall of '0_0')Cheshire the Cat said:And chances are you will remain in love with your ex for years, until you get a new one. New GF and you wont remember the last ones name within a few months.
Unfortunately, I thought (and still do) that she was 'the one' for me and I've spent much of the last three years wondering if one decision was made at the wrong time... I've tried (that was difficult) but am yet to move on (which is even more difficult).zajohnson said:I hear ya. It sucks, but I just learned to try and move on, it's not worth thinkin about, even though it's soooo so hard.
