@indigo and thanks
@indigo i'm definitely at a loss! in some ways it's the same and in other ways the opposite problem to if you're gay
@indigo I tell anyone who openly expresses interest pretty much immediately. but what happens if someone who you didn't tell because you're not sure if they know or not, or because it's generally irrelevant (eg at work) becomes interested in you and you get interested back?
@kdfrawg sounds about right. the starts of my relationships are often exhilarating and almost movie-like (one of my exes remarked on being with me as being like being in a movie, which was funny/weird) but you know, i get that feeling in my gut often when i know there's something not quite rigt about the situation, and it's often the case. i guess that's what you get for having relationships tho- most of them ARE NQR, and some people just happen to be very lucky O_o
@kdfrawg i think the best thing that people can do is to recognise when they're struggling and try to get help. help being easier to get now than it was in the 80s. still not fantastic tho- the whole childcare mess being an example

@kdfrawg busy! i've had a lot of… month or two or four month ones. and some relationship-esque situations that dragged on for a year or more but were basically terrible and thus i never committed to them but the other person kept insisting it was a relationship when it wasn't >_>
