Silver93 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I am a 20 year old male and I have never had a girlfriend. I personally cannot wait to have one. I have been told i'm quite good looking but my shyness is the reason I have not had a GF before. I can't wait to spend time with her, be there for her, listen to her, cheer her up when she's down, cuddle her etc. I am also nervous a bit but mostly excited. My question is what's it like having a significant other? (I don't mean sexually, I am wondering about the other parts of a relationship) Thanks for reading.
thecrucible Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 What I like most about being in a relationship is that there is someone there you can share all your problems with, someone who (hopefully) understands you and who you can really be vulnerable around. It's nice to have someone who really has your back. What I love about it, is that you grow to love them even more (if they're right for you) as you learn more about them and develop an intimate knowledge of them that no one else has. I've only ever been in relationships with guys that weren't as nice to me and didn't value me much as a person, so I don't think I've had the best yet. 2
Mrin Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Matt Groening once defined love as "Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come." LOL A good relationship is probably the second coolest experience a person can have. A bad one... Not so much.
Valen Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Do you have any female friends? It's kinda like that except you get rip their clothes off and they won't get mad. 2

somedude81 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I've been in one relationship in my life, and it was the happiest, most fulfilling time in my entire life. It literally felt like I was in a dream. I want more than anything in the entire world to go back there 1

But you should definitely make some guy friends as well. Male bonding will build your masculinity and give you the tools to handle girls. To help eliminate your shyness, you should work in retail where you have to help customers. Talking to lots of customers on a constant basis will help you get comfortable talking to girls. 1
Strength in Healing Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Eh looks don't mean anything. You can be great looking or terrible, it comes down to your ability to connect. Believe me, my ex left me for a terrible looking guy LOL! But in any case, a relationship is very rewarding, but in time it's also been, to some degree, a cause of anxiety. I am with a great girl now, but you wonder, is today the day THIS relationship falls apart? For the most part, I can control this from showing, but damn if it isn't in my head.
