Hello fellow escapists. I was wondering what you guys could tell me about relationships and why they are so appealing to you or unappealing. As for myself I have become somewhat of a cynic in the past few years and I feel that relationships are just reasons to induce stress, worry, and jealousy also a colossal waste of money. Now granted I have been asked if I was a...pick up artist I think the term was?

Anywho the point is that I'll admit, ever since my ex left me I kind of became a bit of a player and thus a cynic but enough about me what do you guys think? and also if you feel the need to persuade me otherwise I do try to keep an open mind so fire away
It depends on the person and their interests and what they feel they are getting out of a relationship. Some feel it's worth it and some don't.
But do YOU feel that its worth it or not?

Depends on the relationship to be honest. I've had terrible relationships that I would never want to go through again and I'm currently in one that I would give up anything to stay in. The person I'm in the relationship in completes me and I complete her. We connect on a level more than just the physical that nothing could compare to. Anyway thats just me though.

I personally see them as a waste of time. Time and time again I see people put themselves through all kinds of personal hell over things like, "Omg does this person like me?" "She did THIS the other day does that mean she hates me?" "I cry myself to sleep every night because I don't have the guts to ask her out and now she's dating that douchebag" blah blah blah etc etc

I mean honestly...people go through that and sometimes DO end up dating the person they want, only to have them cheat on them, abuse them, or dump them without warning or reason (Which women tend to do a lot) Thus they end up severely depressed for a long time, sometimes for years, ending up in a worse positing than they were before, sure that doesn't happen all the time, but why expose myself to that risk?

after my ex fiance ditched me for going to Japan for uni, which had been planned for well over a year before I got with him, i've been rather distrustful of relationships. Doesn't mean I believe I'll never have another meaningful relationship, I'm just going to be a lot more wary in future.
Do you know if hes ok? you know with all the disaster in the area there?

oh, he's scottish, he was never anywhere near Japan. He ditched me becuase I had to do a yaer abroad there for uni.

If you balance your relationships well, you can have it so that having that someone special in your life won't impede upon your life and your freedom until you decide to get serious.

My girlfriend only adds to my life, and occasionally drains my wallet >>

Well, I was more or less resigned to thinking that relationships are what other people do. I just didn't think about them, and if I did, it was more or less summed up with "eh, waste of time."
But now there's a possibility that a person I very, very much respect and like, would be up for it with me. To more or less paraphrase, neither of us wants to rush the things, since that always seems to go badly in the end, and I live pretty far away at the moment anyway. But I'll be moving closer in the not too distant future and neither of us would be opposed to the idea of something coming out of this in the end.
So I don't know, I guess the "why" is that when there's somebody worth it, it'd be, well, worth it. Or something.

Really, the only way to say it is, in the end, to say it. It's really terrifying, but that's them apples. So, either you tell her, or you give up on it and move on if you really can't. But if you think at all, in any way, that it'd be worth it to at least test the waters, then go for it. Feel brave, and do it before you'll have the chance to think about it. Either it's mutual, or it's not. If she also likes you, then that's that and you can be happy. If she cannot feel the same for you, then you'll still be certain.

So really, go for it. It might feel horrifying, and if it doesn't work out it will hurt, but it's worth the pain.

Describe the situation a little bit for me, like when youre over at their house how does she behave and when your alone with her and do you see her anywhere else? like at school maybe? how does she behave then? and when she has friends around her
