So I see a lot of relationship threads on this forum, and all of them seem to have some things in common:
Lack of information.

So I thought I'd give some advice, instead of asking for it:

When asking for relationship advice there are some bits of information that I define as important in order to give good advice.
These things are:

-Your general age.
-Romantic Interests general age.
-Your Gender.
-Romantic interests Gender.
-As much information about the situation as possible, without making a wall of text.

Age and gender might be obvious to you as the poster, but for me it might be hard.
I have seen threads where a person ask for advice and get a lot of logical advice, except they were all based on the assumption of one person being a boy the other a girl. But it turns out they are both the same gender. And lets face it "why doesn't he like me?" can have a lot of different answers based on gender.

When it comes to age, its just good to know if you are dealing with a 20 year old something, or a 14 year old something. Because lets face it, in the long run a 14 year olds relationship will be a lot different from a 20 year olds.

Same goes for age difference. a 16 year old dating a 20 year old gets different advice than two 20 year olds.

So I hope you frustrated romantics out there take this advice, and keep on asking for more advice :D

I have to say, this is some pretty spiffing advice! Good job sir ^_^

May I add a bit of advice? When describing the situation, a good way to avoid making it too hard to read (aka, a 'wall of text'), is to put gaps in between paragraphs, like I have in between the "spiffing advice" bit of this comment, and like the OP has done in his post. This makes it significantly easier for people to read, so its definitely worth doing so :)

(also, proper grammar can go a long way too XD)

Ok, lets look at it from a different perspective:
People post loads of "There is this girl" threads, and these people want advice on their situation.

All I did was make some advice on how they can achieve that advice. Simple as that.

Besides this is the intention of the forum:
Welcome to the Advice Forum; the point of this forum is to provide all kinds of advice for any users who ask. All users have the ability to respond, so it is perfect for anyone looking to hear advice from a large, diverse audience![/
Making my post perfectly reasonable in my opinion

Fine, apparently you speak for the whole forum (since you say we all the time).

So I will shut up, and keep my advices to myself.
