Eh, I would offer up an opposing opinion.
My family has a poor track record with relationships. Out of all my many grandparents, aunts, and uncles, there are only two couples still together to this day. My parents couldn't stand each other, and my brother and sister grew up to be tremendous players, cycling through different boyfriends and girlfriends on an almost monthly basis, most of which ended messily and brought untold amounts of drama into their lives. Then I saw my two best friends turn out the same way and they both ended up pretty miserable. It kinda turned me off to the whole thing.
So while I know there are perfectly happy couples out there who are genuinely in love with each other, I'd rather not pursue that. If it actually happens to me and a relationship develops with someone I know, then fine. But I'm not going to go looking for it. I know myself well enough to know that I would probably not make a great boyfriend. And I value my privacy too much, not to mention my pocketbook. So yeah, not for me.
