My wife and I laughed so hard we couldn't breathe when creating a now-persistent universe with a rivalry between Fart U and Fart Tech.
And in case you were wondering where I stand...those damn ivy league farters would rather sit around and study farts than get out there and actually create. Fart Tech woo!
I got lucky with my wife. We were friends before becoming romantically inclined, so some of the awkwardness and nerves were gone by the time we realized it wasn't only friendship any more. That friendship is still there, there's just a big + to it now.
But, even having gamed together and bullshitted online for most of two years, along with the kind of non gaming conversations we had along the way, there's still some of that butterflies in the stomach when we met in person the first time. And there were definitely a few days where the shock of being together made us act like we hadn't spent a year and some big change cracking bad jokes, talking about farts, and otherwise letting it all hang out while we hung out via software.
Anyway, yeah, part of the great joy of a having a partner is the freedom to just be silly and honest and share the simple things.
My wife and I dated for 3 months before we even kissed for the first time, and then we continued dating for almost 4 years before we got married. We consider the slow start to our relationship and the friendship we formed during that time to be the backbone of our relationship. We almost never fight, and when we do it's over completely stupid stuff. That happens about 1-2 times per year. A solid friendship makes the best foundation for a lasting relationship. We've been together for almost 20 years now. Soon we will have been together for longer than we were apart.
Love is looking at weird lumps and bumps on or around your person's genitalia. Actually, love might be being comfortable enough to ask someone to checkout that mole on your taint.
Same. 38 and never had a relationship go past 9 months to a year. There's always someone better out there and my ex's always seem to find them pretty quick or they just move.
Almost 10 years since the last relationship, so I'm pretty sure that was the last one lol
Aww, c'mon. It's never too late to be isekai'd into a a fantasy universe where you are the central love interest. That's my plan/only realistic possibility, anyway.
Other people having pleasant experiences doesn't mean you won't have such times in the future. I never had a relationship but reading this sub is very satisfying for me.
