Re: Romantic advice thread?
(Anonymous) 2016-03-19 04:50 am (UTC)(link)I'm not exactly offering advice here, but holy smokes, this entire thread is so me! I was actually considering posting my own little rant about romance and dating earlier but I chickened out. Then you posted.
You're not alone anon, not alone at all. I'm not sure if it's that all the guys who've been interested in me are guys I'm not attracted to. Or if it's the unequal aspects I dislike, or if the few guys I've dated so far have been sexist or immature. Or if it's just guys in general.
So I don't know if I'm bisexual and suck at relationships, or straight and suck at relationships, or gay and unaware.
Like you, I get so uncomfortable about compliments and flirting, and as soon as they show romantic interest I wish they'd just go away. A big part of it, for me, is that I don't want to be viewed sexually by them. I don't want to be a prize for them to obtain, a trophy with tits. (One dude once told me: "I think god gave me you," and I didn't find it romantic, it just made me nope the hell out of there.) I don't want them to like some idealized fantasy-girl version of me, as if I'm some kind of manic pixie dream girl who's gonna help them "find themselves." I want them to like me for me; as a person.
All I know is, I want a relationship where we're a team, best friends who help each other become the best we can be.
