    Sometimes ya gotta put your entire self out there, right from the jump… see what happens

    Week 2 of our relationship: I drank too much with her, took a bath while she slept (I’m at her apartment), woke up in a cold bath to her peeing and asking if I’m good

    Over 10 years in now: I somehow love her more everyday and get to grow with my best friend. The “bath incident” still comes up as a funny “how we met” story

      Taking a bath when you’re about pass-out drunk is dangerous. If you still have this habit, you might want to switch to showers.

      Are you the same guy as the above, or is there a frequent part of the dating scene that I’m clearly missing out on

        I’m not the same guy, but I also can’t say if it’s a frequent part of the dating scene. My wife and I were both bad at dating, we just got lucky finding each other. I’d be screwed if I had to date again lol

        The most important part of a relationship is to be able to be yourself and be loved. Not despite you being you, but because of it. Love is not like Hollywood wants us to think about it. It is beautiful and romantic and chaotic and messy and it can hurt and it can feel great and it can be all of that at the same time. And a lot more. But if it’s not you who is loved, but some play you have to set up, why even bother?
