Love can turn from a fairytale to a frightening story pretty quick. I feel like there's a lot of influences on relationships i've taken that are good some not so good. Of course most people's parents are their biggest example, but I just want to know what has influenced your dreams and goals in relationships? It can be as big as your parents or as small as trying to recreate scenes from your favorite show.

my own life experiences have influenced my viewpoints and made me very jaded

i don’t really believe in love anymore and i believe every relationship for me is doomed

I'm really sorry. It's tough being a CLB out here

My friends have widely varying experiences, from perfect marriage to nightmares

It's all about finding the right match and not forcing it imo

Loneliness

I think I worded it wrong I just want to know people's dreams/aspirations in relationships and where they got them from

Ah my bad

My goal is jus to have a partner I enjoy being around. Not necessarily for life but maybe if we have kids (eventually would like to have kids)

Idk where this comes from tbh. It jus makes sense to me

Hell yeah

Not made for love but that’s OK

safety

dont be like that

Well my parents showed zero affection for each other so I was stunted in terms of that

Trial and error, friends and family. Goal is to have somebody that I trust and who time melts away with.

anime

My parents.

my parents, education, career choices and me being in my 20’s

they say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. that pretty much describes dating for me

why bother?

name one genius that aint crazy!

suicidal ideation

?

Certified Lover Boy

my parents were never the most affectionate to each other so I guess sitcoms are my only real references lmao
