Things were looking good earlier this week with someone (coquettish behaviour, general merriment) but thanks to my unfortunate blindness (resultant of an idiotic decision to go to a lecture whilst slightly hungover, starving and exhausted) I was blanked by said person earlier. And it's not really my fault.

I'm quite a relationship person. A couple of years ago I used to go into town and as everyone did back then, end up kissing a new guy almost every week. It was done on a 'yeah I kinda like you, but cant see myself with you for more than two weeks' thing, so it was no strings. If things worked out, cool. If they didn't, no one really cared. Then got into a one year long distance relationship, which worked ok for a while, but then things went downhill. At the time I met my current boyfriend, who I've been with for almost two years now, and honestly I couldn't be happier. It's so much nicer having one person you can share literally everything with, than it is just going out and kissing random guys for the sake of it. But really, it's whatever you're into. Some people prefer not to be stuck with one person and to just play the field. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

I'll never understand the "seeking a relationship" mentality. If it happens, lovely. If you approach each and every person you like with only the fact that they're a possible partner in mind, as a friend of mine does... Well, you're gonna miss all the normal, fun parts of getting to know someone and just worry about impressing them. Not healthy, and ironically, quite unattractive in my opinion

I suppose it's not so much that somebody makes a relationship the sole purpose in talking to somebody. There's a lot of people who simply have to make more of a conscious effort in marketting themselves. After all, a lot of us don't generally come across as very likable or interesting in casual conversation.A Neurotic wrote: »I'll never understand the "seeking a relationship" mentality.

What I'm trying to say is that there are people who when they make little effort, unconsciously tend towards introverted behaviour in their interactions with people. Such people generally don't just wind up in relationships and then you can factor in the feelings one might experience from seeing all those around them involved with others.
In other cases, some people would simply be blind to the idea if they weren't on the look out.
And then there's that weird "twilight zone knock off" friend zone thing that everybody's been bringing up for the last too many years. Apparently you're not supposed to go in there.
Also some people believe relationships to be like a tap of sex. None of that bottled one-night stand business for them.0 -
I've been doing the single thing for a long time now. It's not much fun.
I don't have the "actively seeking a relationship" mentality though. Nothing wrong with one-night stands/random hook ups. If I meet someone I like and it turns into a serious relationship, that's great but if it doesn't it's not the end of the world or anything.0 -

Having thought about this a little since yesterday, I guess I would be more the relationship type (as long as we don't question the success or lack thereof of said relationships! :pac:). I don't do the random hook-ups, and I never have. It just doesn't interest me in the slightest.
I don't think I've ever actively sought out a relationship - I think that's entirely the wrong way to go about things. Looking ruins the surprise! I seem to have somehow fallen into a relationship rather recently, and it's going very nicely, so I'm going with my assumption that not looking gives excellent results. 0 -
