For most of my life (since I was 10), I pursued girls normally.
But I was a nervous boy then, and had trouble talking to a girl when I knew she liked me.
A few years ago(age of 15), I decided that being in a relationship was more trouble than it's worth.
Since then, I've avoided talking to any girls who were blatantly interested in me.
So I've never been in a [i]real[/i] relationship.
I have no plans of ever dating, getting married, or having children of my own. (Planning to adopt)
Usually, I stick to my plan very well and I'm content with being single forever.
However, when I see my friends as happy as they are in their relationships, I get jealous.
And jealousy is a very uncommon thing for me.
I also just finished a romantic comedy short series, and the characters' thoughts and emotions left me with a sense of longing.
I want that.
But when I think about it, almost every relationship seems to become stressful and troublesome for the couple in some way.
And that's what I'm trying to avoid.
I'm so confused!
What do you guys think?

Thats envy not jealousy

Even though the necro is real, I relate greatly to the post. That's like, exactly what I'm going through. I'm not sure what to do, so I come up with be excuse of "I'm just gonna chill until that one person finds her way to me" but I'm pretty sure that's my brains way of saying "Your ass is grass when it comes to getting a gf, but imma let you think you gotta chance cuz this shit funny af."

3 RespuestasEditado por SilverPulse620: 10/30/2015 2:27:17 AMI have been shy and am so scared of asking a girl out. Then, on the night of the end of junior high, there was a party. I decided to get over my fears, and ask a girl to dance with me. We did. One of the happiest if not the happiest days of my life. When you get the chance, ask someone you really like out. You won't regret it.

Sounds like me right now.

Enh most women generally aren't worth my time. I prefer to date around and try to find one that genuinely isn't psychotic.

2 RespuestasHold up. I [i]swear[/i] I remember you mentioning that you had a girlfriend.

I couldn't care less about any of that stuff. I'm happy enough with my friends.

You're planning to adopt as a single father?

2 RespuestasWhy are young guys so afraid to put in a lil work? Yes relationships are hard and can be painful at times but the point is you have to work on it. You get what you give and if you avoid it out of fear you will always have regret.

1 RespuestaCurious : confirmed

1 RespuestaIt sounds like you gave up before you even tried. 15 isn't a great age to make life long relationship/life decisions at. It just sounds like you counted yourself out before you had lived as an adult. When you make such rash decisions at that age you're not leaving yourself much room for happiness.

1 RespuestaLove is... It's not easy, that's for certain. There'll be highs and lows, just like with anything in the world. But when all's said and done...there's nothing that makes anything more worthwhile than seeing your loved one's face light up, or when they just can't say anything but just smile...

2 RespuestasDon't take what I am about to say as advice, if anything only a few could ever actually go through it anyways. Lets just say my life is not normal! I think percentage wise like 90%+ of people get married or some really high statistic like that. Yeah my life isn't part of that statistic for sure. I've never needed a relationship. I know I don't care enough to be in one since I'm unwilling to go find someone. I refuse to waste time chasing too. I think thats bs and no person imo is worth all that playing around and dumb mind games. That enough shows me I really have no desire or need to be with someone. Guess I am in the very small minority but it's fine for me. Less to worry about. No such thing as kids, extra bills, going to events I don't care about, doing stuff that inconveniences my time, and best thing is I can do whatever whenever. Call it selfish but hey ... I live an unrestricted life and many I suppose could say it would be too lonely for them but I have friends so it's not like I am all alone. I just have no desire for someone to get that close to me and personally feel there isn't a soul that would care to anyways so I'm all good. If I met someone that really wanted to be with me I'd have to see how I feel about them but in all honesty. I think my true self would come out and realize I'm one of those people that just isn't dating material, can't be in a relationship, and is better alone then teamed up with someone. I'd probably tell them the truth and say "for your own sake you don't want me .... no really it's for the best" lol So to answer your question OP is it really that great? I dunno. But from my standpoint and how my life has gone so far I'm not seeing how the grass is all that much greener from where I am standing now. It's different for everyone and you sound like you are relationship material and have what it takes if the time arises. Some of us, like myself, just aren't cut from the same material and it was never meant to be. Our destiny lies on a different path.

You tapped out at 15? You had no idea what you walked away from. Well, if you won't you won't.

3 RespuestasAll relationship you'll have will have a weak point. A moment where you guys fight or just not feel anything. You have to go into a relationship knowing this and be willing to fix it. I think it's worth it if you date the right person.

Meh got widowed five years ago and haven't really felt like trying again

Ah, yes. I understand your predicament quite well. When I was in high school, I turned down so many easy booty calls that people began to think I was gay. Then I -blam!-ed some chick in an elevator, and played hookie doing drugs, and grabbing ass all the time pretty much my entire senior year. I never really had a relationship with anyone in high school until we were mature enough to fulfil each other's physical and hormonal needs without putting emotions on it. I started seeing a girl later, whom I grew greatly fond of, and she stuck a knife in my back (metaphorically). I saw another later who tried to do it physically, not that she was angry, I'm just glad I remembered the safe word. It's natural to be confused, emotions leave people vulnerable. That is why Pon Farr is such a dangerous time, and why you must learn to master your emotions within the next seven years.
