Over the years I’ve had too many boyfriends to count. On roleplay most people meet, start dating, grow distant, and break up. This can happen over a few days, a few weeks, a few months, but almost never years. I myself am guilty of rushing things. I meet someone and they’re sweet and flirty and say all the right things, and next thing I know we’re breaking up because we learn there’s not much past that. At the risk of sounding like a preacher, it’s worth the wait. If you’ve got a connection with someone, it won’t go away in a few hours or days. I’m not saying spend months getting to know someone, because roleplay relationships are on a much faster timeline than real life relationships, but you should at least take a few days, maybe a week or two. You want to be sure you connect with this person past the cute moments and flirtatious comments. The best relationships last because they were approached slowly. Now this doesn’t guarantee you and your partner will still last
‘forever’ but it keeps you from going through 5 or 6
relationships a month, which just hurts you in the long
run. Waiting is hard, but it’s worth it. As an example,
take me and my guy. We’re not currently dating
because we have a long history of our relationship
failing on both ends. Of course we’re still romantic
and cute with each other, but we’re also taking the
time to get to know each other again. To discover
things we had forgotten or maybe never knew. I’ve
loved him nearly 3 years and we are on and off and
on and off, but we always end up back together.
People will say you’re stupid, that they don’t
deserve another chance, but a friend once told me
that it’s always worth another chance. Relationships
aren’t perfect, they never will be. But they can be an
amazing experience if you don’t jump the gun. So
take this advice and do what you wish.
