How to approach relationships?

[Mr.Obvious]

I'm no love-guru, but i do have Some advice.
I didn't meet my first and only and current gf and romantic partner beFore The age of 20.
Now, seven and a half years later, we are still together.
I'm not exactly shy, but never was a ladies-man. And like you, i was Looking for 'The right one'.
When we met, it was due to a misunderstanding. I was The right level of drunk to be more loose than i usually am. And i wasn't trying to impress her. It was a party, so we didn't really talk. But a mutual friend helped us get in contact and start dating. At which point i still didn't really know anything about her.just that we kind of hit it off in a pleasan evening.
And i think that's important for you. Dating isn't what you and the girl of your dreams Should aspire to do. Dating isn't The goal. It's a tool. A way to find out if someone is a good match for you or not.
Add to that two facts: one that it gets increasingly harder to find someone The longer you've stayed alone. And two, that relationships are hard work in a way. I would recommend youget out there and try out The waters.
Believe me. The fact that i hadn't had any previous relationships seriously damaged my chances with The woman i hope to spend my life with. There are traps and curtesies and sensitivities that you can't imagine when you've never had a girlfriend, that you can only learn through experience. So even if a relationship Goes sour, you can both learn from it for The next time and hope to make it better.
