Romance

That Vocal Minority is all I hear from.

And it's very offputting to hear a guy talk about all his crazy exes. Maybe they're not the problem but you are.

Or there was something wrong with both of you. That was what happened to me :p

Experiences are gonna vary really. Some people have chill relationships with some problems but nothing too dramatic, others have fucking terrible shitshows that leave them emotionally scarred, and anything in-between. The only constant is gonna be you, obviously.

And the fact that someone from one half of isn't going to like someone in their other half's circle of friends. My Mom hates my Dad's sister so I will not be a part of shitshows. Sure, my parents are fine but that rainstorm is still there. I know it's a regular thing in love relationships but I'm not mature enough for any of that.

My first relationship was horrible and it was in person, so far my second one has been going well and it's long-distance atm.

I've only been in one relationship in person aka ever. I wasn't invested in it. To her credit, she tried but I just wasn't involved enough.

I think all my relationships have been long distance.

I've never had a relationship. Been kissed on the lips once, though. It was kinda good, but could've been better.

well my relationship is going well and I'm a complete social pariah so hey, if I could accomplish that, there's hope for all of you too

Hope? Meh.

So I had a furious makeout sesh with a friend.

I don't know where we go from here...

Friends can make out with other friends without it being weird.

Or maybe there IS something more.

Maybe.

My memories of my first kiss are not pleasant, mainly because it was non-consensual and I was way too young to enjoy it (somewhere around 3rd or 4th grade). I gave a girl who lived down the street from me (who was about a year younger than me) a Childhood Marriage Promise and for the next month or so she couldn't keep her hands off me. She never bothered to explain to me what a French kiss was, so I recoiled in disgust when she tried to stick her tongue in my mouth. Thankfully, she realized how creepy she was being after a while (or maybe her mother talked some sense into her) and stopped trying to pressure me into sneaking off to make out with her. But the experience has left me with a lingering distaste for romantic forcefulness. I've had a few split-second closed mouth kisses on the lips since then, but never anything to that degree since.

Tequila has given me hope. I WILL find my gothy princess one day.

I'll be cheering for ya on the sidelines, Mark.

I have a girlfriend. We've been together for five years and get along really well. It's an online relationship, though; we only get to see each other in person for two or three weeks out of the year.

That being said, I think we work well because we support each other emotionally a lot, and we're not afraid to be really affectionate. Romance is the only part of my life that's not a complete disaster and the only thing that keeps me semi-stable. I am thankful for that.

Sounds like my relationship atm.

I hope you and your significant other are happy. How do you feel about having an online relationship?

I don't feel anything.

I meant Wispy, but thanks for sharing.

I know you meant Wispy, I just wanted to say it.

So far it seems to be going much better then my previous relationship. We mainly just support each other through problems and enjoy each others time pretty much.

I feel more connected then in my last relationship so that's good I guess. It's hard in the sense that we just want to just hug each other at times.

That's nice!

Yeah, that's how it is for me and my girlfriend too. It's funny how people always say internet love is a sham, but both of us found more fulfilling relationships there than out in "the real world."

I mean, I'm much less socially awkward than some, but I've always had trouble approaching women romantically. I don't think I ever learned how to ask someone out in person.
