self hatred is the secret to all good relationships

There is a golden rule a friend told me and depending on a day claimed it originated from his grandfather or Oscar Wilde:
Don't sleep with women who have more problems than you.

"...but I am interested in hearing people's takes on their own relationships - what has worked and what hasn't, and why."
Well I split up from my girlfriend of four-and-a-half years over Xmas. We were best friends and perfectly suited to each other. We lived together for just over 2 years and could have settled down together and had kids. There was 1 problem. We lived in the Guildford (South East) but were from Plymouth (the South west) where our families are from and she was very homesick. She moved back and wanted me to move back with her, but as much as I love the SW, there are is no career for a designer there and I couldn't see how I could be fully happy being there after having worked in London etc. So we decided to end it. We got back together 4 months after on a long distance thing but we decided we ultimately wanted different things and finished it for good over Xmas. As I write this I can see I have probably given up the most important thing in the world for pretty much nothing. I don't regret it as I am sure that one day I'll look back on that decision and feel it was the right one.
Anyway, the point of the above is that... well I don't know. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe I am destined to marry Liv Tyler after all. Come 'ere cutie!

I have never been in a relationship type thing, so I will not comment further.
But good luck. From what I can tell you're an awesome guy.

when you're with the right person, it's like great design, you don't even know it's there... it's effortless, fluid...
that said, I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I fuck mine up...

I've been burned before, I think we all have, when it comes to relationships. For me, the biggest thing is to be honest about everything. You don't want to hurt the other peoples feelings, but shit, if your honest, but not mean about it. It normally works out better. I tell girls up front, listen, I'm not looking for anything serious (if that even comes up) if they want to hang out, have some fun, then cool, if not, well one of us might get hurt.
IMO, the key is to be comfortable with yourself, all aspects of it.

Jevad, don't ever fall in love with them. Even if you do, don't let them know it, don't show it.
Men desire women. Women desire to be desired. They want a challenge in making you their only desire. If they think they've got you to love them and respect them, they'll believe they won and move on to the next guy.
Always be a challenge.
- who are you and what have you done with killerqueen?kona

I just got out of a relationship in November. It was definitely for the best. We were not right for each other. I had to stop my ex from calling me after we broke up too. Unnecessary contact right after a breakup just makes it harder to move on.
My advice to you would be to take things very slow next time and to hold off announcing your feelings too soon. Some of the first feelings of love that you think you have are sometimes related to the excitement of being with someone new. It's also better for you if you take longer to get to know the person.

"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness."

Nay, ross. What jevad needs is to bump into a totally available Claire Danes.
Btw dude, you should watch "Stardust," if you haven't already. It'll perk you right up.
- Is she available now? I thought she was still with that douchebag. Also, I have Stardust but haven't seen it yet. Heard it was good.Jaline
