Relationships?

[anoni]

My rule is that you should know the person for at least 6 months before you decide to get into a relationship with them. I feel if you don't know someone for long enough, then you just see the good side without seeing the bad and you can't make a good decision.

I'm currently in a relationship with a local syd fur named Cluffy, it's been going well, we've been together approximately 3 or so months now. I've had two relationships in the past, first relationship lasted a year and I broke it off due to perceived differences in what we wanted from the relationship. Second relationship lasted 2 years, and it was a mutual break up due to distance.

I can say yes, I was in a relationship once, where I now feel like we rushed into it. I actually barely knew anything about her. We weren't really friends before the relationship, so we (at least I) hadn't had the time to build up that personal trust. I always felt awkward and pushy, when talking about personal stuff with her. And that's not something you should feel, when talking to a girlfriend. At least not in my opinion.

I haven't dated in a long time. I had a really bad breakup a few years back and haven't been pursuing anyone since. If the right person comes along, I think I could try again though. As a shut-in writer though, I don't think it will be likely.

After all the arguing, drama, and other dumb stuff I see going on between a lot of couples I know, I just want be with a highly intelligent, autonomous, good looking Robot of my design. Maybe a Dragon or something, definitely masculine.

This probably makes me sound selfish, and also pretty creepy maybe, but I just want a guy who both looks great and is flawlessly compatible with me, with no differences of opinion or anything in any subject, and all the same interests as myself. I'd just love and adore him so much, and he'd reciprocate perfectly~

Oh, not only do I feel like I'd have trouble with finding a really compatible person, I just don't even like the Human body, yet I'm not at all actually asexual. That pretty much makes it impossible for me to simply find a man, and necessitates creating the ideal man.

[Galefargion]

You sound exactly like me. I believe im pan, also I like masculine traits. strength and confidence/self reliance are almost as important as intelligence.

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

Yeah, the 'ideal man' that I speak of is wholly superior to Humans in physical capabilities, and would be so delightfully strong both in muscle and personal character. He'd be faultless, as I too strive to be.

Well hello, I happen to be some sort of natural body builder lol

I've soon been single for a whole year. And I'm perfectly ok with that.
In some ways, I think it's a good thing, since before I'd just tend to get "too dependent" on my partner (Not in a "I NEED YOU HERE 25/8"-way, but in the "I'd rather have you take care of all the things I have issues with taking care of myself "-way, which also isn't a good thing since a person can't always depend on someone else being there to "babysit" them) since I've never really "been alone" like this before (First I had my family, then my adoptive family, then I ended up at an orphanage with staff around 24/7, then when I turned 18 I moved to my first place of my own and shortly thereafter my back then mate moved in with me.)
After we broke up I was rather devastated for multiple reasons (he was abusive and manipulative, and after having heard things like "You should be glad you have me, I don't think you'll ever find anyone else who'll be as accepting towards your weird quirks as me" enough times I started to think of it as true.)


About half a year or so later I started dating another guy. We got along well for the most part, but in some ways the thing didn't really feel too thought-through. (While we had a lot of things in common and generally enjoyed each other's company, our personalities didn't match up too well and that brought us apart in the end.)


Still, that second relationship taught me that there is indeed more fish in the sea and that people usually are really accepting even if I'm a bit on the "weirder" side, and that has given me faith that one day I might find someone who fully and truly understands and appreciates me for who I am and the way I am. It might take time, but I'm fine with that. It happens when it happens, and I'm patient...




...Buuuuut should everything else fail, I always have a lovely replica of an Amulet of Mara :D (That's the item you use in Skyrim to let someone know you'd be interested in marrying them, for those not into Skyrim/video games)
Would actually be sooo awesome to have someone confess or even propose like that, even tho I guess that's asking for a little -too- much xD
Oh well, a woof can dream.

Spoiler for a teeny-tiny confession:

_{(And on a slightly related note, lately I've caught my thoughts drifting off towards a certain person I know, more often than usually. That's supposedly a sign. It's mildly disturbing in this case tho since even tho I like that person a lot and even if the feeling would be mutual, the chances of things actually working out seems rather slim. Still, it's nice to know I still have it all in me even after all the things I've been through. I rarely develop feelings towards other people like this and the few times I have in the past, it's been because I found their scents attractive.)}

[Galefargion]

This reminds me alot of some of my previous relationships. My viewpoint now I think is to find someone as compatible as possible, I realize in the past I may have settled or been a victim of frivolity. The amulet of mara idea is good though, maybe I can just do that lol

[Unchainedfox]

I can say that finding that "someone" is very hard. I'm 31 and I'm still single. Perhaps one of these days I'll meet someone and we both just click.

[Galefargion]

I think im mostly in a relationship with myself, my vanity, and my writing at this point. IF someone that i percieve to be mentally stable enough and similar enough to myself comes by I may pursue them, but im just not feeling it anymore. I think I just want to get semi-wealthy and get out more/travel some and fill my living space with cool stuff (After I personally paint all over the walls in whatever designs/images I think of at the time)

[HyenaKing]

To your standards, i'm in a relationship with a void inside my heart.

[Panda]

Well both me and my s/o are in an open non romantic relationship. Its open as we can be with others, yet we choose not to mostly. (hard to explain but think of it as friends who are intimate. Also we both have the same female we go to.) I know it may not make sence but we are human and need that human touch I gues... 

Is it a platonic partner sort of deal? The concept of that is so interesting to me. I love that the internet has helped people be more accepting of those sorts of things ^^

I've been with my boyfriend almost 3 years now. He's not actively a furry but he goes to cons and stuff with me. And he's very accepting

The possiblities and concepts that are possibe and have happened are really great.

I've been in my current relationship for almost four years now, I can say it's been pretty well so far, don't really plan on it changing any time soon either.
