Normal relationships?

Post Reply New Topic

Do other posters here have normal relationships in terms of a significant other? How difficult is it to attract and be with the right partner?

I can't seem to do this. I have difficulty being attracted to other people and when I am I don't have the tools to express it properly or to convince them to take a chance on going out with me. I wonder if being in a relationship or having a boyfriend is just something I won't be able to do.

Is there advice I should know?

I've been lucky in that regard. I wouldn't necc. call them "normal" relationships...but I know how to be in relationships..I started dating when I was young and my first relationship lasted for 6 years...I figure that is the reason why it comes more naturally...also, I am a singer..and that is what has made some guys want to date me for the most part...dumb but true.

My desire to indulge in my own pursuits has always gotten in the way of my relationships (ie I never spend "enough time" with girls I'm with). That and not recognizing when a girl is into me and since being a guy, I'm supposed to be the one who makes the first advance. I kind of gave up on it. I find maintaining a relationship a bit draining. Maybe I just never found the right girl.

I suck in relationships. My husband accepts he can't have a normal one either because of me and I am not normal. I'm just lazy "executive dysfunction" you guys would call it.

You just need to find the right person who doesn't have high standards and isn't so needy. I found men on a dating site and that's how I met lot of them. I met my husband on a forum after I posted the thread asking if anyone is in my area who like to meet. I have a fetish is why and all these men wanted a woman with it and my husband had always wanted one and he found me.

I've had relationships. In each case, we grew apart and separated after 4-6 years. This seems to be nominal behavior for naked apes. I've seen it called the seven year itch, but I think that's optimistic.
