I'm in a fantastic relationship with someone I really genuinely love. We are almost at our first year anniversary. Ive had a lot of meh relationships in the past so It's great to finally be with someone that will always listen, be understanding, interested in stuff going on, and also supportive. Not to mention having the same taste in music, movies, books, etc and also being able to have new things that we can show to each other and check out.

I'm so happy for you Ry! Congrats on the relationship

I will be controversial now. I'm 23 yo and... never been in love. I don't even know how it feels or what that is. Am I weird?

Not at all man, when the time comes, there will be that person and she (or he) will make you feel so many great feelings and it will feel absolutely fantastic.

My first relationship ever only started at the start of June this year and even though it's been almost 2 months, my god it has been unbelievable. Being in a relationship with someone you care so much about and someone who you just love being around is one of the greatest things ever.

I am currently single and I have been for a while now. I don't feel weird, as my group of friends are the same; we've never been in a year long relationship or anything like that. Then again, being single isn't a bad thing.

Congratulations on your relationship, Ryan, and congratulations on nearly hitting your first year anniversary! I'm happy for you, and I hope you continue being happy.

I'm single, but for the past year or two I've had this thing with a girl. At first it was just a really good friendship, and then eventually it became, well, a "thing." I knew she liked me and I felt the same way, but we never hooked up or talked about it. Idk, maybe I was too pussy to make a move, but a fast forward a few months later and we're still really good friends. The potential of being in a relationship has largely dissolved, because as I got closer to her I found out some things about her that I didn't really love. While I enjoy being friends with her, I still don't know if I could be in a relationship with her. But then, I'd love to move on to other girls, but I get this weird feeling that if I ever asked somebody else out, she would be jealous and I'd be betraying what we may have. I don't know. Maybe it's all in my head.

I'm an odd case when it comes to love. I'm a stupidly sappy person when it comes to seeing love. I grew up with Disney after all. Love is a beautiful thing, and to see two people in love, it's one of those things that just make me smile uncontrollably. My best mate and his girlfriend are the sweetest couple I've ever seen, and it makes me happy to see how perfect they are together. So love is one of those things that I very much admire, because it brings out the best in people.

But when it comes to myself, it's a whole other story. I've had very few relationships in the past, all of them miserable failures. A couple of them, I think I deluded myself into thinking I loved them, because it was something I wanted to experience. The guys I've dated weren't very nice people in the end. The last person I dated was such an alcoholic crackhead he tried jumping out of my moving car. That was a year ago and I haven't spoken to him since. Since then I've taken on the attitude of one of someone I once had a crush on. He told me that he simply wasn't able to put time and effort into a attempting a relationship. Likewise, at this point of my life, where I just want to get stable work and move out of home, I don't have the ability to care about anyone else in that way right now. I'm living for myself. But at the same time, I do want to experience the same happiness I see in my friends.

I know what you mean. People are always very quick to think and say "I love them, and I only met them one day ago" and I've had to tell that to a few of my friends. We have all had crushes, some of them weird, and all of them talked about; while having not been in a proper relationship, we all still feel the sappiness of it. The amount of times that I've felt as though I was cock-blocking two of my friends who were dating is unbelievable, because of how great it is to see two people in love.

Wow Lukey. I do identify a lot with what you wrote in the first paragraph. I have this idealized vision of love for the others, but not for myself. It is just weird gah
