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!

take this with a grain of salt since I'm on the rebound myself but there's no harm in giving it another try. is there anything you're good at that you were perfect at the first time you did it? or the first two times?

I bet that's a big 'hell naw' right?

that being said, no, romantic relationships aren't everything. don't stress about it. it always happens when you're not looking for it and friendships are just as important.

actually probably more important.

On the what? Rebound? Not a term I've heard before.

I was looking for anything when the first two happened and they crumbled--in a very big and bad way.

Friendships were enough for me, and still are, but..I don't know anymore. I want to keep my friends close, but I don't know if want to pursue anything with anyone..

But it felt nice to actually have someone around? IDEK.

rebound is when youre fresh out of a relationship ad probably shouldnt be looking for another one but you are anyway. usually doomed to fail.

what happened if you dont mind my asking?

you know, you dont have to pursue things if you dont want to. friends can be around just as good as romantic partners, and a lot of the time friends are really more important. its why the person I was dating before started out as a really close friend

[talentedscavenger]

Don't know if that fully covers where I am now...but it's better than nothing.

I wasn't looking for anything with the first two...and what happened was, finding common ground and things didn't work out. The first guy wanted me to make a choice him or my friends...and the other...I made the choice to not go any further than friendship.

I know I don't have to, but there were things I liked about being close to someone and I...I don't know anymore. I have other responsibilities and being a relationship, or anything of the sort can wait. It should wait.

If you don't mind me asking...are you no longer friends with that person? The one you were dating?
