Dating : I feel like I’m missing out
I(28M) have had a few girlfriends in the past, but nothing of significant length. We’ve dated for a few months, and then broke it off, usually on good terms. None of them have passed the 1 year mark though. I know 1 year is kind of arbitrary, but there are certain things that I feel like I am not able to practice, since I am not in a relationship.
I’ve never lived with an SO, gone on vacation, or had to involve them in big life decisions. While I am (mostly) ok with being single, I fear, that if I do meet someone special, I will mess it up because I have not had the chance to practice these kinds of things before.
Is anyone else in this situation, or can provide ways to practice, while not being in a relationship?
as long as you are able to clean up after yourself and cook? Also if I think it’s sweet knowing that you haven’t lived or traveled with anyone else yet and getting to do that together.. 28 is still young imo 🙂 no stress
My last 3 relationships ended after going on a vacation. The last one I lived with for over a year. You can’t really practice this stuff. Certain situations are just stressful and may cause tension. The biggest problem I see right now is that people are eager to jump ship and find someone new.
Just because you live or travel with 4 girlfriends doesn’t mean it’ll be any easier with the 5th. It’s all relative to how you interact and the dynamics of the relationship.
Honestly the honeymoon stage (first 3-6 months) is going to be the best time of any relationship, or most. After that people usually start to get bored, annoyed, or fed-up in some way with the other person. Unless you can be **legitimate** friends, which isn’t often.
