I'm just curious...we all have a reason that determines us to start a relationship: it might be boredoom, fear of loneliness( when you decide to start a relationship with someone aldo you don't really like that person just because you're afraid you won't find someone else), and so on
what was yours? was it mutual atraction

When i first time i met my best friend which is my husband now, I feel so lonely because my ex boyfriend cheated on me and my best friend is the only person that can make me happy at that time. I really don't know the reason why when i'm with him i can easily forget all the sorrow that i feel until I realize that i already fall in love with him and he also fall in love with me because we are always together. We have different character and likes but we feel so comfortable to each other.

I can say that it is mutual attraction and a lot of common interests. I don't get into relationships just out of boredom or from fear of being alone. This would be unfair to both parties because the relationship won't work. I also did not get into relationships just because I was getting old. In my country, it seems like a stigma when you're 30 and single. My goals in life are different from the traditional ones that have been set in my society. I just couldn't see myself with wailing babies, piles of laundry and being a plain housewife.

I fell for my guy because he was so kind and supportive and he loved to just sit there and listen to me. I could tell him anything and it was ok. In return I did the same . Slowly we went from friends to good friends to being in love.

Before I started my current relationship, I had "loved" another guy for four years, but he had never felt the same way about me before. So I was a little bit timid with regards to men, but I eventually agreed to start seeing a guy because I knew that I shouldn't keep thinking about the guy who I was in love with. It turned out that the guy, who I am still with three years later, is one of the best guys ever and is very kind and thoughtful, which means that I have had a wonderful three years and wouldn't change it for the world.

I remember myself praying to God that i need someone to love and to love me back. I was kinda lonely and very depressed. I only take love for granted before, I don't take relationship so seriously. Because i always end up getting hurt. But one day i think That God answered my prayer, I met this guy, who is my husband now. At first i didn't like him, he annoys me so much, but he keep on pushing himself to me and saying that he loves me and want to marry me. I didn't believe him, but he is so eager and serious about me. So, i tried to let him in, and last thing i know is that i've already fell inlove with him. LOL.

My hubby and I were great friends before dating each other! We used to work together - and we both were going out with someone else. Well, those relationships didn't work out for either of us - so then we got to talking. We'd talk for hours and hours . . . and then we discovered that "we" were so right for each other! Near 25 years later - we are still together!

good day swissheart,
with reference to your main topic, well, one thing is for sure when i have started my relationship, that is, i feel the joy within my heart. and that joy is unexplainable and cannot just be replaced by anything. that when i have started my relationship to this person, the other half of my body, mind and spirit is working for him, as he is my other half. i will feel sick, when he is sick. i will feel sad, if he feel sad. thus, me and him are working as one. and i am willing to do anything for the success of our relationship.

It was love at first site. When I saw this woman in our office, i was attracted by her eyes and fell in love for it. I started giving her hints that i like her and eventually i started wooing her. Now, this woman and me have been married for 3 years and we are now blessed with a daughter.

I did not want a relationship at all. Was also not looking for it. The guy kept bothereing me! Seriously. So I told him my opinion about relationships, that I prefer to be and stay single and am tired of taking care of men. That he has to add something very good to my life since I can feel misery alone too (who needs a partner for that!).
So he did his best and tried to show me in every way (and I keep saying that to him) he really loves me. So now we are married. The rest is future.. we don't live together since he lives in an other part of the world.
BTW I also decided to do him that favour since it's important to him in his culture to be married and I don't have anything to loose anyway.

There is only one reason why I started on this current relationship and that is love. Love is also the reason why I am trying my best to save the relationship even if the odds are against it. We were close friends before we knew we were developing a mutual attraction that developed into love; however, this is only my side of the story since I don't know for sure how my significant other fell for me.

I start a new relationship because i want to move and dont always hope that the past relationship i have will be back.When you keep yourself involve with someone else it help you forget the past one.Also if the other guy already have new one,it will be pity in myself if i still have no one,seems i am still hoping for him.

The reason before why I got into relationship was to prove to my cousin that I’m not a lesbian coz she keeps on teasing me that I’m a lesbian. My first relationship was i'm in my junior year. :)
