Does dating have to follow a specific formula to be successful?

9 Comments

Be good friends, go on a few dates, make it official, wait a few months, have sex, say "I love you".

This is the generic formula I thought was normal and how "things are supposed to" be. But is this true?

Can you meet someone in an unconventional way and still have a long lasting, meaningful relationship?

I guess what I'm trying to ask is, is there any right or wrong way to pace things? If you both feel fine and content, that means it's alright, right? Or should people who are too eager slow down?

    Relationships don't have a formula. There is no right or wrong way to go about a long term relationship.

    I do it the way you described at first. Starting out as friends, taking things slow and the longer the better. I am not in a hurry to have sex I much rather get to know the person first and see if it could really be something long lasting. Each to their own though as long as you're both on the same page.

    In time you’ll learn that the only relationship that matters is your relationship with yourself. All other relationships stem from that

    Hell no! I have never used that formula and have been in 8 girls pants. You don't have to know them from anywhere before, you can do a totally raw approach. You don't need to wait to make it official you can show intent within an hour of knowing her. You don't need to wait for sex you can have it later that night. It's all about how she responds to you. That determine she course things take.

      But can this result in an actual, loving, long lasting relationship?

        Yes. If you can get sex you can get the rest of it.

    My formula would be be nice to each orher, don't take each other for granted, let your mate know you love and appreciate them each and every day even tho you don't always say it, and most of all of that person is with you and they say they love you, then - DON'T BE AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT YOUR feelings and fantasies. They are both important. If I get serious in a relationship, I feel I need to let her know within a decent amount of time (6 months?) that I probably have as many of more bras than she has (since I'm a crossdresser).
