Congats for you two!

Haven't had a relationship myself yet, so I'll have to get back to you on that question.

"Living to smile, and not to succeed; smiling to inspire happiness, not to give the illusion you are happy; creativity and music to inspire smiling, which in turn inspires happiness; being nice to be happy, not for being perceived a good person."

My only qualm is that this is a thread about relationships, when most people should know that the Flood truly does not have nearly enough experience in that area to have a proper conversation about.

I haven't dated anyone for years, and the amount of time my last relationship lasted was rather unremarkable. So I really don't date anymore. My reason for that being is that I can't really commit; not in the staying faithful sense, more just being able to take it seriously and putting effort into the bond itself.

Luckily, we are not all one person and there are quite a few of us who do have experience and can have a conversation about it.

Been in a relationship for 3.5 years. You all make it sound like anyone that communicates on a forum is a nuckledragging loser.

So, is it true that girls carry a deadly strain of cooties?

You misunderstand.

See the amount of people complaining about Jay, most likely jealous of the ability to uphold and reinforce a relationship, they who in no way contribute to the thread itself.

I'm not saying that the Members are incapable of doing so, I'm just stating that the amount of those alone certainly overwhelm the amount of those that are with someone. Honestly, I rarely ever see these kind of threads run without eventually getting locked.

So because children on here can't control their feelings towards their lack of experience and flame everything they know nothing about, we shouldn't make a topic about being in a relationship?

But that could be turned the other way around.

If you know it's going to be flamed and thrown off-topic, what would be the purpose in making the thread in the first place when you have a good idea of what exactly it is going to become?

It's an opinionated question.

I don't understand why guys wanna be in a relationship anyway. I mean sure it's great for girls, you get some poor sap who you can mooch off of and have him pay for dates and buy you crap and complain and nag. But for us guys it sucks, mentally and financially.

Guys don't bother with relationships till you are ready to marry, friends with benefits is the best of everything. Don't get trapped.

Jesus bud, how old are you? Are you so immature that you'd rather get your nut off than have a meaningful relationship with someone? Come back in like 5 years.

It doesn't really have an answer to be honest.
I know that any topic can get flamed but I never have a general idea of how complete strangers on the Internet will act and that should never prevent me from posting a topic that I feel is discussion worthy in any way.

Exactly. Part of why I don't want a relationship is because of school, but I also don't really feel ready, or know what I want from a relationship. I feel that college will provide a chance to really become ready for such things (or at least practice for forming relationships after college). Right now, though, I really just need to focus on friends and school.
One of my part time jobs is tutoring high school kids after-hours. I was talking to the mother of one of my students after a session recently, and we got into a conversation about how all high school relationships really do is stress you out during times when you're already stressed enough (exams, for example). I know some people go on to live happily ever after with their high school sweethearts, and that's great and all, but I know for sure that the kind of person I thought I wanted in high school is definitely not the kind of person I know I want now.

"Life is constantly fleeting from your grasp even from the very day it's bestowed upon you, but the shadow of death is always there, waiting for its chance to take you away."

"Even though many may not think so, ignorance and innocence are one and the same. The only difference is that one sounds nicer."

"I once knew a man who spent his entire life contemplating where we go after our death....it's a shame he realized it a second too late to tell anyone."

Speak for yourself. If I hadn't met the girl that i'm currently with, I probably wouldn't be posting right now...I was planning to kill myself before I met her. I never was the happiest individual...but after the time i've been with her, i'm a lot better off than I used to be. More happy, more optimistic, and really more confident.

As for the whole "friends with benefits" deal...I never quite understood the appeal of it.

It's an opinionated question.
Because other people's bad behaviour is not my fault?

Because "they can't control themselves" is not an excuse, not ever, and I shouldn't have to censor what I say when it's within the rules just because some people here don't know how to behave around others?

Because maybe if a few people are having a civil conversation and a few people insist on derailing it by telling me I'm not pretty enough to date, then the problem is very obviously with them and not with the people talking about the content of the OP?

I should not have to apologise for the bad behaviour of other people, and nor should anyone else. Grow up, guys.

Unless they get locked before they get to that point.

Well alright then. That's you, not me. If that's truly what you wish, then go ahead and do it. I'm just saying that if you want a proper discussion, at least choose a topic that isn't going to get derailed by haters and/or people arguing over what threads should and shouldn't be concluded acceptable to post.
