Hey guys,<br />
<br />
So I'm 18, bisexual and have never been in a serious relation ship. It hurts my soul, because I get pretty lonely and I think I'm semi-ready for love. So I'm looking for someone who'll get me and who I can trust to be there for me even if I'm difficult. I'll be there for then too of course. Wouldn't it be genius if people on this site would find each other?

<p>This is a sensitive subject for me, but why not. Let's take it on.</p>
<p>For me relationships have been a problem for most of my life, romantic relationships in particular. In my youth most of my romantic relationships were entirely in my head.

<p>For me relationships have been a problem for most of my life, romantic relationships in particular. In my youth most of my romantic relationships were entirely in my head. If I was attracted to someone, I made her a character in my daydreaming fantasies. It was never the real person, just an idealized character with her face and name. </p>
<p>In later years I would actually try to make the relationship real, and was usually rejected. After the rejection, I would have a fantasy relationship with the character of her that I created. In those rare instances where I was not rejected immediately and attempted a real-life relationship, it never went very far. So I started dating women that were more receptive to me, and they tended not to be the sort of girls I had fantasies about, and I rarely ever had fantasies about them. Those didn't work out, either, for various different reasons that may have had nothing to do with MD, or maybe because I was still more emotionally invested in the fantasy characters.</p>
<p>Most of my relationships never lasted longer than a half a year or so. I did have a few long term ones, but they ended eventually in disappointment.</p>
<p>I met my wife late in life after I stopped having fantasy relationships with characters of my own creation. While I can't say that the relationship is ideal, it is the longest romantic relationship of my life, mutually supportive, more happy than not, and I certainly hope that it will continue for the rest of my life.</p>

<p>I used to do this for years, since I was 12 years old. I was disgusted or uninterested with anybody I met in real life.

<p>But I feel like it's important for our balance to keep dreaming, and we can't just give up on it, we probably have to draw better the line between dream and reality and convince not only the head that it's not real...

I have had 1 significant relationship that ended over 5 years ago which only started as he was really confident and sort of pushed himself into my life (not in a bad way).<br />
I use to daydream when we were apart about other relationships with mainly celebrities. It would get a lot worse when things were going wrong as it would help me cope. I can relate to what you are saying someone tried to set me up on a blind date and weirdly I kept thinking about my dd guy and how I didn't want to lose him…

It's scary being with someone in reality. The relationships in our head we can control everything. In real life there is no control our emotions are completely on the line.<br />
I would like to meet someone in the future and be able to hold on to my dd guy until I feel I no longer need him. @Prathiksha and Jessica Balla…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2017-12-18:4661400:Comment:2739512017-12-18T19:19:30.622ZElehttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/Ele639

<p>Yes! I think it is because I am disgusted really with myself, I can't and don't know how to be 'Me'....it's easier to have a relationship in a daydream where the man is perfect and understands me...and I am a nicer more attractive person...I often picture a celebrity I have seen in a movie as myself...another personality or different in appearance</p>
