The New Significant Relationship Thread

Woo!

What started as a friendship is well into that wild, didn't-think-I'd-be-feeling-this-way-again phase.

Yep it's new, or at least unexpected.
Yep it's exciting.
Yep it's been too long.

She's open, honest, fearless, curious - all more than anyone I've known. And she digs me.

Here's a toast, to anyone else close to giving up on finding a meaningful relationship in this life: if there's hope for me... Cheers.

Oh man, it's funny that the first thing i think is: "Be careful..."

in the "significant other" category, I gave up years ago.

but meaningful relationships in general... well those I have in bountiful plenty.

Best wishes in your new foray into "significant othership"!

Believe me, the scared voice in my head is still saying "BE CAREFUL".

That's where I was. I finally gave up again and became receptive. No small assist from this woman who's able to see right through the junk.

It's taken me a long time to get in touch with my cycles. To keep old junk from interfering with new. Not that the process will ever end, but for now I'm ok with taking chances.

My SO and I will be celebrating our 2-year anniversary this Sunday.

Two years?! Where did they go?!

Good luck, cyrnel...

I gave up and am ok with it - there is no hope...

but yay for you - you're a sweetheart of a guy and deserving of someone special - so kudos and what a lucky lady...
