When I was younger- and mind you, this was only three or so years ago- I took love as a joke. When I was nine, I was usually saying things such as "Oh hey that guy is pretty I'm pretty I'mma ask him to go on a date during recess!" or "OMG I WANT SOMEONE TO BUY ME PLASTIC RINGS HEY COME DATE ME!" That continued on until November 20th, 2012- or rather, when I had barely turned 11.
I realized that it wasn't just a game. It wasn't a contest of who got a boyfriend/girlfriend first or who had the hotter man/woman. It was about having a serious relationship. It was about finding someone who cared, and someone you could care for. It didn't matter who it was, but it should be someone you're totally happy with. And I happened to be on this site. So the first serious relationship I had was with AudreeForever. Or rather, as I used to call her, my bird.
I asked her out on January 16th, 2013. We dated until approximately February 11th, 2014. A whole year.
My relationship with Audree was the longest I've ever had. However, it wasn't filling. Sure, in the beginning, I adored her and was more than happy to know that she had agreed to date with me. But as the relationship went on, I realized that maybe we weren't the happy ever after couple. I never really cried over her. I had butterflies, but other than that, I had little emotion other than happiness when I saw her. And eventually, I started to cause her to get a little stressed. So we broke up. Now, we both know it was the right thing to do. I guess we're still friends, but I won't ever forget the year I spent with her. She was the first female I had ever dated, and she was the first person I had felt real love for.
Right after my break up with Audree, I felt something odd. Like I knew I wanted something. Something.. Different. Or someone. And about two days after my break up with Audree, I asked another person out right before Valentine's Day. The second relationship I had that was far more serious was with Sugercube.
I asked her out on February 13th, 2014. As of right now, it's slightly unclear to me, but you can say that our relationship was "put on pause" as of 9/22/2014.
Andi and I had a more complex relationship. No, I'm not saying it was bad. It was a lot more. At least, for me it was. For the whole seven-eight months, I gained more confidence in myself, I learned what real love was, and I bonded with more people than I had before. Not to mention I finally cried over someone attempting to kill themselves. I finally had emotion. She was the first- and maybe even the last- girl I've cried over. And I say this in a good way. I finally felt heartbreak. I felt pride. Joy. A lot of emotions I thought I could only get by faking a relationship. Here, what wasn't the case. My relationship with her was a lot deeper than anything I've had. My friends are my witnesses. They agree that from the time I asked her out up until now, I've changed drastically. And they like the new me. However, I also had the worst fights with her. Although I'm not proud of them, I like to think of them as the building blocks. They made us better. Because we learned to get the f--- over it and live on. And even though this month was our downfall.. I'm glad that the others were full of serious love.
Both of these relationships showed me that I shouldn't toy with love. And that online relationships aren't as bad as people take them to be. I learned to love someone for their personalities, not for their gender or appearances. I'm proud to say that I, Dark22978, have had the best time of my life with online dating and I think that it's going to have an affect on me for the rest of my life.
