More information on when you met and how long you are together is necessary to understand things. You give good advice for a person who never dated or ......???
Also, you must be a lot younger than I figure the average here is.
(I'm obviously fascinated with this concept.......)

We "met" on ICQ instant messenger when I was in 8th grade and she was a freshman. We met in person my freshman and her sophomore year. Her mother was the good home economics teacher and I took every class she taught.
We became close on the interwebs but never hung out in person, just a few chats in Spanish class.
A week after school let out 2 friends and I left a lame-ass slumber party at 2am to walk across town and go swimming at her pool because she jokingly dared me to on ICQ. I jumped in the pool with my glasses on. Whoops.
Best mistake I've made in my life. We decided to stay to look for them in the morning, so we stayed up all night talking. I found my glasses in the morning and rode my bike 6 miles into town on a busy 2 lane state highway to return a sweatshirt I had borrowed the next day. I don't remember what excuses I found to ride into town the next 6 days, but our newfound physical chemistry was indomitable. I asked her to be my girlfriend the day I left for the summer to be a camp counselor and we held sweaty hands for a few minutes.
She tried to dump me before she went to college and I said NERP, not happening.
She tried again a few times because the distance was difficult, but I said NERP, you can't shake me.
If I give good advice it's probably just because I got lucky and was able to learn from everyone else's mistakes. Sometimes I just think that people make this shit a gazillion times more complicated than it needs to be. Not that everything has been perfect and rosy, but I don't know, it's not so hard either. If you both just be a little better of a person than you'd naturally be the rest takes care of itself. I guess it's naive to think that's easy lolMonkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

Ha! Thanks!
It wasn't romantic when she had another boyfriend I didn't know about...it wasn't romantic when I worked 6 12's and we never saw each other...it isn't romantic when we bicker about stupid shit and normal domestic life with a toddler is far, far from romantic.
Even super-lucky storybook lives are still full of banality and nastiness, you just have to be real and rise above petty and selfish impulses.
You can't wait for some romantic chance meeting that sweeps you along, you have to make it happen, get the broom and start sweeping. There are no soulmates or single chances, you've already met women that could have been life partners and you will continue to meet more for the rest of your life, that never stops. Stay on your toes and make it happen, but first learn to accept yourself because that's prerequisite number one. Accept yourself and be yourself. Genuineness is always a turn-on!Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

Yeah I get that all relationships have arguments, it's how you deal with them. I've learned some great things studying psychology at university about the keys to healthy relationships. I just love the meeting of someone special, that romance is awesome.
"You can't wait for some romantic chance meeting that sweeps you along, you have to make it happen, get the broom and start sweeping." I like this.
Most women I meet don't want to know me. I see myself as a nice guy so I don't know what is is. Maybe I am physically unattractive?Adelaide 17/11/2009, Melbourne 20/11/2009, Sydney 22/11/2009, Melbourne (Big Day Out Festival) 24/01/20140 -

We are now have five kids and a beautiful house. As you can tell from my avatar she is way out of my league! Lol
Congratulations on your relationship and kids.

It gets old being just hopelessly outclassed even when you are up on your toes at your best lol
Sometimes I imagine that I will tell Simon to marry an ugly and dumb woman lol
I saw that in a movie once when I was a teen and I didn't see the wisdom in it until many years later lolMonkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
