Hey everyone! I don't post on here super often, but I've been laid up for a week now and I'm going a little crazy. Total cabin fever.

I used to see forums like this on the internet back home, and I thought it might be kind of fun here too, so I thought I'd give it a try, because reading those forums was always a lot of fun.

So, Crowd-Sourced Relationship Advice!

I turned on anonymous posting on here, so you can make a fake username and submit a description of a problem that you're having in your relationships, either romantic or at work or whatever, and other anonymous people can give you advice!

Or you can stay logged in on your real account. Up to you!

if you've been hurt that's all the more reason to fool around
then rub it in your ex's face
foolproof

[talentedscavenger]

Neither are my 'exs' as I never....dated them.
I don't want to 'fool' around with anyone and have them get hurt.
Not. Fool. Proof.

[bastardofipswich]

so
you haven't dated anyone
but you want to give up on romance?
oh my goddddddd you sound like so many girls i went to school with

[talentedscavenger]

Define 'dating.' If you mean, gone out on a date, no. If you mean hanging out with someone, yes.

I've never done actual romance--not like the movies, which looks ridiculous.

How is any of this helpful advice?

[bastardofipswich]

i mean being in a relationship
going on dates together
kissing
handjobs
etc

here's my advice: don't be a sadsack
man up (or woman up w/e)
find someone to kiss

[talentedscavenger]

Yes, kissed, but never went out on a date, never was in a relationship.
No to the last two things.

But why? What am I missing out on?
And there's no one I'd want to kiss!

[bastardofipswich]

getting laid
that's what you're missing out on!

[ Look, Chase has never been in a relationship, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. ]

unless you don't want to get laid then idk
adopt 30 cats

[talentedscavenger]

You mean have sex?
No! I have never and don't want to!

[She's been doing fine on her own without that!!]

I'm not going to own 30 cats.

[bastardofipswich]

really?
then i guess friendship is fine

you can start small
10 cats
work your way up from there

[talentedscavenger]

Really. Never had a reason to...want it.

I'm not going to own any pets.
How would anyone take care of ten pets?!

[bastardofipswich]

okay serious question:
if you don't want any of the physical stuff then why do you care about friendships vs romance anyway?

[talentedscavenger]

I've never...experienced the physical aspect--just kissing, and that was nice.

I didn't know...this thread and some other things have gotten me wondering about the experiences I have had.

[bastardofipswich]

if you think you're not meant for love and marriage and all that crap because someone broke your heart then no, that's stupid and you need to quit being a wuss
if you think you're not meant for love and marriage and all that crap because you don't want it, then whatever it's no big deal

THERE
that's my allotment of serious advice for the week

[talentedscavenger]

I'm thinking it's more of the later because it's those things I never thought about until I came here. I still don't know if it's worth it.

....Not bad. Was that your first attempt.

[bastardofipswich]

then just like
relax and have fun with your friends

it was
i think i did pretty good!

[talentedscavenger]

I'll add that next to learning how to have 'fun.'

I think so...not bad.

[bastardofipswich]

seriously?
why do so many people here think of 'fun' as a foreign concept

maybe i'll start an advice column

[talentedscavenger]

Because some of us had to work our asses off to survive.

I wouldn't think that far ahead just yet.

[bastardofipswich]

psssssst: those things are not mutually exclusive

wow way to crush my dreams!!

[talentedscavenger]

Are you speaking from experience?

Not crushing your dreams, just saying you have a ways to go.

[bastardofipswich]

yes
