Romantic/Sexual Partners

Post Reply New Topic

I met my husband through a friend of mine. He is her cousin! So I had basically met half his family already before meeting him, haha. It was actually my friend who suggested I should "get it on" with him, and I took that literally. Not that he noticed, as my attempts were pretty feeble. Luckily he was interested in me anyway, so within a week we were a couple! That's nearly 10 years ago. Now we are married and have two kids.

Not saying how many girlfriends, but each, including my wife, is/was a friend of a friend.

I met my ex boyfriends in high school, university, on a party with mutual friends and one ex I first met when I was 13 and came back in touch with years later again on accident (or well.... I saw his look-alike in a TV commercial and I just had to tell him that and one thing led to another). I've done online dating too, but that never resulted in to an actual relationship. Quite enjoyed it though.

The guy I am currently seeing I met in.... World of Warcraft, lol. Not a place I'd recommend for dating though, but we just connected and ended up meeting in person and started dating.

That's noteworthy IMO.
Online dating seems to be quite meh, friends (and the constantly talked of common interests) seem to be a good entry into relationships.
However the quality of those may be.

We love our chick flicks

Nothing wrong with a well crafted chick flick, but maybe I'm using the word wrong. On a Venn diagram, how overlapping are the RomComs and the Chick Flicks? I'm assuming almost completely.

On a similar note, there was a period of time when we'd see a really good British or British-American romcom come out like clockwork every other holiday season. Have I lost touch or has that stopped?

21 years old and I've never been in a relationship. Never even got close. I try to talk to women with similar interests (anime, politics ect...) but they just seem to find me annoying. My conversations with the opposite sex are very one sided; I'll keep asking questions and she'll just respond with short answers and not respond with any questions. Given that I have Asperger's it's highly likely that there's something I'm doing wrong when it comes to conversation with the opposite sex but I can't work out what.

I've read that the stereotypical thing for a heterosexual male to complain about is being 'friendzoned'. To be honest I wouldn't mind being friendzoned as so far I can't even get females to be my friend. All my friends throughout my life have been male; I don't understand why I don't get on with girls.

I started university September of this year and my life-long abstinence is beginning to get me down. Students get a lot more free time in the first year than in the second and third year so if I'm going to make this happen I'd better get on with it soon. Otherwise, I'm going to enter the working world 24 years old and woefully inexperienced in relationships compared to women my age, which is going to make it even more difficult.

Have you considered signing up for an activity that's likely to be almost all girls... as a way of getting comfy with girls at your uni? Free crafts, the knitting club, salsa or ballroom dancing usually has a dearth of guys, etc.

I met my two exes & current girlfriend online. Me & my 1st were friends on Comedy Central's forums(12 years ago when they still had forums) & I met my 2nd & current here on this forum by making LOTS of post about wanting a relationship & what I had to offer a partner.

your lucky that you got to have a girlfriend in your early 20's

There are a lot of men in the world and one of them is mine.

I usually try to get to know guys who are in my classes. From there I see if they are interested in me or are dating material.

To be honest there are NO set timeframe for someone getting in partnership.

Normally would have waited for someone to approach. Although this may not be a case because people are rushing, that ruining the health of relationships. Rebound relationships, for instance is destructible.

Im a 25 year old NT male. I met my current girlfriend who has AS on a dating site called altscene. The girl before her worked at a gas station I go in to every day before work. One day we talked outside about our personal lives and I gave her my phone number. The girl before that I met on plenty of fish and the girl before that I met through a friend. Before the last mentioned it was pretty much completely meeting at parties or through mutual friends.

met my husband at work.

most people meet through their social circle or mutual friends
