Relationships?

[Rob_Silvermyst]

I have never dated, I'm not pretty and I'm too quiet so people don't notice me.
And whenever I am flirted with by a man, I get too terrified to really say anything back.
I wouldn't mind seeing someone, it's just that I'm too dull. My life isn't going anywhere so I have decided to not even bother trying.

I'm sort of in a similar boat. I'm too quiet for my own good. Last few relationships I was in, well, nice guys come in last because we get walked all over So rather nervous about trying. Yet at the same time, that love and sense of completeness is something I want. So I have to keep trying.

I keep getting in and out of really intense relationships. I have a knack for getting into trouble and usually when I date someone they get dragged into it with me and it ends up breaking off. I really like relationships and like being in them. Having someone there to give affection to and have it returned is amazing especially when it's this person who just magically appeared in your life one day to make everything better but then things can take a turn and the person you once would do anything for is the person you despise even looking at. I like relationships but I get a bit crazy in one. They'll make you do a lot of stupid things that you didn't even realize you were doing at the time. Some people don't like relationships and I don't blame them. It's a big confusing mess but if it's something you want it will come to you.

Sure it's nice to have a lasting and meaningful relationship.  I myself was soured on the whole idea of relationships for a long time after moving countries and giving up everything for a girl.  Yes I missed the company and everything else, but it's not the be all end all of everything.  Luckily, I found my soulmate and it'll be 4 years next year we've been together

After everything I went through as a child I don't think I could ever be in any kind of happy relationship with anyone, romantically or otherwise.

So... it happened again: I feel really romantically alone right now, and I just don't know how to deal with it. I miss being with someone. Heck, I miss just being in love in general. I want to be able to be with someone without it ending a month later because of distance. I don't know if this is more relevant on the "Everyday vents" thread or here, but I just needed to get it out. I'm sick of my love life...

Neither did I, frankly. It happened anyway, and I am mega glad that it did. At the very least, always be open to a surprise or two.

I've been single for about a year now and quite frankly I hate it. I honestly hate myself because I feel like I **censor** up a potentially amazing relationship because I came out as trans to my boyfriend. Since then I have dated others but none have really "stuck". One guy pretty much used me for sex leading me to believe that we were going to be in a serious relationship at some point and another just decided to be single. I have one that I'm very much interested in dating but he is straight so it'll be another complicated mess if we ever do get involved. I also have another guy that I'm seeing but it's more of a hangout/dinner/cuddle-buddy more than anything.

I know it's not really recommended to "search" for someone but when you have pretty much no hobbies or involvement in activities it's really hard to just happen by someone.

Time has a way to heal deep wounds, especially with the right person.

My father won't let me date anyone, even if I wanted to. And if he did, he says it would have to be someone he knows.

Quite controlling. Sounds like a friend of mine from back in middle school, though she and her sister had a father that was overly controlling to the point of abusive. At least once you're on your own, you should be able to date whoever you want.

[Ryouko]

He's not abusive, but he's very tough. It's for our safety, so I understand why.

No guy ever looks at me anyway, so it doesn't affect me much.

[Makias]

I still don't know how to ask someone out. hard to do when you're gay and living in a highly religious community. No one around here to date. Which is why im waiting until after I move to figure that out

[Ræfóa Aldrnari]

Oh Jesus... I'm having one of those feeling-lonely-periods again. I really need to find a way to make them stop, since they're no good for me, and they only make me feel bad and alone. I don't know how to make them stop coming yet, but I hope I'll find a way soon.

[Wildrose]

My mate and I split up not too long ago. It really hurts and sucks because I still love her so much. And I think she feels the same too. But the unfortunate reality is that she's older than me and wants me to be able to do things and go places my parents won't let me. It hurts so much. But I have confidence that I'll find someone someday whether it be her again or someone new.

I know that feeling. I lived in a country where homosexuality was punishable by the DEATH PENALTY. But it'll be soo much easier when you leave. Hang in there,stand tall.

Also, a lot of ya'll seem unable to date because of parents -- I take it most of you live at home or are still in highschool? Aaah,parents and relationships don't mix...

I have happily found myself in a longterm relationship with a fantastic guy. It's been nearly four years now. We've stuck through the bad times and the good times, and I would do it all again. We recently decided a short while ago to make the relationship a little more polyamorous,so girls are back on the menu for me (I heavily prefer women over men as partners). All fun and games!
