    I think my relationships go more like:
    1. Attraction
    2. Learning more about each other
    3. Building comfort and trust
    4. Realising I was just imagining it

      1. Trying to learn everything about each other on the first date
      2. Trying to feel and give comfort and trust without chemistry
      3. Doubting stage

How in the heck of 50% of 7 billion people could there not be a few "stragglers" that are actually good just trying to catch another good.

    As a person with really low self-esteem, I went through the doubt stage through the whole relationship. But as the relationship progressed, I was more confident about myself and got through the stage. After year and half, it's easy to say that this stage is behind me even though it seems surreal.
    I have to say one thing though... I'm lucky. From my point of view it's hard to find someone who would accept you the way you are, won't rush things, and respect your fears and help you overcome them

    I feel like these steps probably apply for people who are generally mentally and emotionally healthy. As a person with severe anxiety, depression, and a background of trauma, my relationships seem to follow a similar timeline but, for example, the "doubting" phase is constant and it's not because I'm with the wrong partner, it's because there are things I need to work through. Learning to trust is also very, very slow and the comfort of being vulnerable does not come until later. I'm also dating someone I became friends with first and became attracted to later. There may be a general pattern with human relationships, but there is no norm that everyone should follow or a way every relationship should look. Work on being your best self!

      Beyond that, I'm just stuck taking care of my actual family, mother, sister, brother for the foreseeable future.
      By the time I'd be free to pursue romance, and hopefully mentally ready for it, I'll be 50 at the youngest or 60 at the oldest.
      And it's not like anyone of us is attracted to old people. We simply remain attracted to our lover as they age.

      @Some Rando Filipino @@Psych2go Yo. Recently got into a committed relationship with someone I had been "just friends" with for over two years before the stars aligned and I stepped up to the challenge with a wonderful woman. I think the video touched upon one thing that should be gone into more depth - how so many couples show themselves as perfect on social media.
      They're often not. I mean, certainly I am sure that there plenty of happy couples but the reality is that not every moment with your partner is going to be SQUEEE FOR THE GRAM worthy and really, it shouldn't frickin' be. Yeah I'll stick a cheeky little reference to when we had a "date" which consisted of us playing classic Doom in co-op mode and you better believe I'm proud to have someone who can do that with me, but seriously, the vast moments in your relationship should largely be for YOU AND HIM/HER/THEY/WHATEVER. The fact of the matter is that the best moments in your shared lives won't be the epic travels but more the little moments when you're just laying in bed reflecting. Holding her when she's feeling down and being willing to show your most vulnerable self to her with the knowledge that she won't think you're a wuss.
      I'm rambling but the truth is that you can be in a relationship with virtually everyone. We are nothing yet we are everything - a perpetual blank slate that will be defined by the next words written on it. So what words do you want written on you?
      Peace and happy new year.

    I'm in my first relationship right now, but with my boyfriend, I think the first time I started to have true romantic feelings for him was on our first date. Even though I was definitely starting to like him before that, I think that realization really set in as I got to know him better. Being attracted to someone's personality is definitely the most important part, and I'd say looks are just a bonus.

Honestly I didn't know I was attracted to her because at that time I didn't think that I was anything but heterosexual (god was I wrong there heh).

    The regular relationship works like that for me:

    2. Approaching the other person, narrowing down the environmental distance
    3. Getting to know them
    4. Asking them out on activities, such as hiking, going to the movies, ice cream, looking for books A.K.A dates
    5. Telling them what I like them for, attributes I like
    6. Meeting them in the evening for a drink or for a walk
    7. Asking them if they're comfortable with me coming up after some time of doing so
    8. Watching series together at their place
    9. Asking for a sleepover on the couch or in their bed, if they're curious enough, snuggling a little bit/just enjoying their proximity
    10. Starting to touch their wrist or wind their hair
    11. Kissing and touching
    12. Getting to know the other ones body in further detail...🌷
    13. The euphoric stuff
    14. Rewarding them at some occasions such as an anniversary with a weekend in some hotel that is located somewhere interesting
    15. Basically doing stuff together that you grew into doing together, travelling for holidays together.
    16. Never got to this stage yet.

      Sounds similar to many of mine. Usually they want it 'growing' in some direction. Be that a commitment to them (nope) or just see you working harder at life than you were at another time with them. For me, life is usually in a good space so I'm enjoying it. However when I'm pushing myself be that physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally or financially they respond better. Some of that stuff our relationships might not see like growing spiritually but other women take notice who can see that. I just look at all my experiences as part of my journey experiencing life. Can't have tears if you don't have pleasure and smiles before. =)

      Then try to not date them and spend some time on yourself and yourself only :) I'm a grown woman and I never had a boy/girlfriend. I had multiple chances, but I simply refused to. I knew that I wasn't ready for such a bond and that it might hurt me or the other person. Do I feel good tho? Yes, I do. When I was younger I wanted others to validate me. But I learned that by time I am the only one who can do that job. Idk how the two months in yout life were, but it won't take you anywhere to pointlessly hurt other people, only because you've been hurt. Try to reflect on yourself first, maybe you weren't ready for a serious relationship? Idk where I heard this one but I'll say it anyway: "You can only truly love someone when you've learned to love yourself." Idk if that might help you. Keep your head up bro, the time will come.

    We've started dating today, but we've already shared many intimate moments over the last month or so. I realize now that emotions and attraction come and go and are not true love. Love is an action, not a feeling.
    I accept that there are going to be days where I don't really WANT to be with her. But I don't view love as waiting for "the one". All that matters is that you have the same core beliefs and direction in life. If you are religious, then she needs to be. If you're an atheist, don't marry a Christian, because that will cause you two to fight and be pushing separate directions. Remember, relationships are supposed to be a MUTUAL EFFORT, not a "competition". You're supposed to go the same direction, not play tug of war. That's the whole meaning behind being unequally yoked. I personally am a Christian, and she is too.
    I'm not saying there aren't feelings of attraction, because there are. Whenever I hold her in my arms as we're watching a movie, I get much pleasure from that. It's very intimate, and I love protecting her and allowing her to let her guard down.
    In short, I've come to realize that love isn't about those feelings of infatuation. It's a part, sure, but love is primarily about sacrificing and giving yourself fully to another person, willing their good DESPITE their flaws, and a partnership. You two will be "coworkers" in the job of your choosing. Do you want to travel together and help the world? Do you want to raise a family together? Do you want to build a community? Now you have a partner to do that with.
    Edit: We broke up Friday.

      2: That I AM lovable, even with my mental illness. I have worth.
      3: That I AM ready for a relationship, and to be a good boyfriend.

      6: It gave me the confidence to know that I can handle it now, in a mature and healthy way. I now have confidence that I can use my will as a man for surviving, even during times that I don't want to. In short, I learned to trust myself, and I now know that when I say I will do something, I can trust that I WILL actually do it. That alone has reduced so much stress

I've already entered the doubting stage. But through all this I can look at all the things we've been through together and still be really confident. I truly love him. We support each other really well and communicate openly. We've discussed marriage, kids, building a home, etc. We've even talked about what happens if we get to the point where we can't take care of each other anymore. (We're both chronically ill so this is a HUGE possibility.) Honestly I'm confident I'll spend the rest of my life with him. And so are tons of people in our lives.

      I don't think I could say he & I ever really 'dated'--unless you count the one time he took me out for my birthday, but we didn't consider it a date (even though it felt like one).That event fell between the time we'd each realized we'd fallen in love, but before we found out the other felt the same way...
      By the time we did confess our feelings to each other, we knew this was it, we were already in it for the long haul. So the seduction stage came after the commitment.
      We got engaged three years ago, right before Christmas, got married the following May. We're still wondering when that "honeymoon stage" is supposed to end, we just keep on falling deeper in love...💕💑💕

    If you have a long term relationship that started very young, be prepared for a hard slog to keep it going. You're both going to change a lot over the years, especially through college, (don't even get me started on how tough long distance can be), but it's worth it to see the person they become. It's hard, having dated my person since I was 14, and just being split from them during college years, having to watch how much they're changing through the years. I don't know what it's going to be like, having to basically meet this whole new person after 4 years, but I think it's going to be worth it. So, for any young couples out there who want a future together, just know, you will both change. maybe not anything so drastic, but you will both change, hopefully into better people, who will love each other even more. I know that it's been worth it for us to keep going , and I hope it continues to be. It's hard, but definitely worth it.

    Stage 4: after a big build of trust and literally being so close to them to the point where you just want to say I love you
    Stage 5: getting to the point where you are scared to say the truth cuz you don't want to lose them as you have spend so much time and good memories with each other and you are just scared or losing and risking not seeing them again
    Stage 6: you say it's okay to let go of what's inside and just go up to them and say I love would you be interested?
    Stage 7: you get rejected and lose all the good times that you have had for the past 4 months and everything just becomes memories and you start to question you decisions.
    .... that was my last experience I didn't get rejected cuz of looks or me in total it's cuz of our environment and culture and the stress we had to end it for the greater good but damn it's just heartbreaking I have recovered that sort of breakup happened to me the past month and it was heartbreaking but it changed me to the better.

      I gotten broken up with by someone that I didn't say I love you to, and I realized saying it would not have made a difference. He knew how I felt. The reason he left is because the relationship was getting serious. He would not have cared. It's easy in retrospect to blame yourself but you did nothing wrong.

    1. Realizing your close and that they are your best friend
    2. Them confessing there feelings for you
    3. … them starting to ghost you :(

      If there wasn't any reciprocation they are probably ghosting you to protect thier own feelings.
