(Reasons We're Probably Not) Dating Or In A Relationship Thread NSFW • Page 21

I'm in the situation where I'd really like a SO especially since it seems like all my friends are in genuinely good relationships right now (almost all my friends I know have been in bad relationships in the past so it's heartwarming to see). It's just that actively seeking a SO has been a real bust this past year, especially due to my options being pretty limited already since I try to avoid developing interest in anyone I doubt would be understanding of me being poly among other things.

It's just been almost two years since I've dated anyone and I'd like to get back in the saddle, so to speak - especially since now I know what works and (especially) what doesn't work with me in a relationship after having my first girlfriend.

 

im in love with a girl two hours away ive been on two dates with

she told me she likes me and wants to get to know me better

why does she have to be 2 hours away? :(

 

Who cares about you.

How is that uncle of yours?

 

What does your uncle think about the distance? Will he lend you his lawnmower so you can get there in record time?

 

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for nearly 4 years now and have never had a major fight. If anyone ever gets angry, it's always me, and in the end I always apologize because I'm an idiot who overreacts at literally everything.

She's still v great. Sometimes it feels like we still just started dating.

 

moonpies is here?!?!?!?

 

I'm Facebook friends with two people who have been together for a little over a year. They comment on lovey-dovey pictures that show up in my feed all the time. On this last one, they said they'd love each other forever, for infinity. They're both nice people but when I read that, the first thing I thought was, "I wonder when you two are going to break up."

Cynical asshole level achieved?

 

Haha no I get that

 

They do it with pictures of babies too. If they aren't going to make it, I hope they split before there's a kid in the mix.

 

Nah. When people act like that it's just embarrassing for everyone.

 

Haha, no. These types of relationships don't really last usually. They're more of a spectacle than anything really. I feel like me and my girlfriend are a thousand times closer to each other than people like that, but you wouldn't "know" because we don't post about each other on social media that much.

 

Giving Bumble a try. Wish me luck!

 

Nope, these are definitely the people least secure in their relationship. I've got a handful of couples in my feed that do this, most of whom are 30+, and I know based on actual interactions with them that the internet happiness is just for show. If you feel the need to prove anything re: your relationship, maybe that's a sign that you should do some actual work on your relationship? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

So when someone matches on Bumble, is it called a Buzz?

 

So just about a year ago, my girlfriend and I of three years broke up. I was alright at the time, but then I spent months miserable, and all I could focus on was her. Eventually I thought I moved on.
Went on a few dates, one of which was with an old friend from school, and we really hit it off, and now, after a few months she's my girlfriend.

My problem is, I can't get my ex out of my head. I'm not even certain of how much I like my new girlfriend, or if it was just an attempt to try and move on from my ex, and now I'm not sure what I'm meant to do.

I think we've moved a bit fast in becoming an "official" couple, and we're currently doing it long distance which is just the worst. I'm really not sure what I'm meant to do.
From my point of view, every time I see her, I feel like I'm lying, or at least not being honest, and I hate lying. I think in my head I really wanted things to work out, and for this girl to be a miracle cure, and it worked for a while, but I'm no longer so sure.

 

It might be best to end the relationship. It isn't fair to her to continue on this way.

 

Didn't know where else to post this but I'm feeling down and its "relationship" related.

May is ending soon and June is coming up. I'll soon be another year older and that means another year single as fuck. No dates. No nothing. It hurts more as time passes because I didn't want this to ever happen and its happening.

 

Yeah, I've been single for 2 years. Definitely never thought I would be, but I stay pretty occupied!

 

I've been single since birth, so.....

It's hard for the loneliness not to be on my mind

 

4 for me now. I'm pretty comfortable with it at the moment. I'll be confused as hell when I have to do something other than just look after myself again.

 

Kind of love being single at this point in my life, but can totally see how that wouldn't be a positive for some people.

 

Quick, the wife and me have a day alone together (no kids). Give me a date idea. It's rainy and ugly outside.

 

Build a blanket fort and cuddle and watch movies inside it!

 

Bowling, movies, brunch

 

Make more kids.
