Female: We met, both flirted with each other, and got together mutually whilst drunk. He said the "L" word first, though I followed suit the same day. We both decided to officially begin a relationship. Been together 2 1/2 years now.
Also Female: This is almost exactly my relationship wow. Although at first my bf thought I didn't like him because I wouldn't stop chirping him... apparently my flirting skills aren't the best.
Female: It began with mutual flirting, and I expressed interest first, but he made it official a couple months later. We have been together for 4 1/2 years now.
He initiated flirting with me and actually convinced me to change my mind about him (I had considered him just a friend for awhile). He made it official after we'd been hooking up for awhile. And he was the first to say he loved me too. It's been just over two years.
She was part of my main flock on the rocky moors of Scotland. I saw her twitter her tail once when I was shaving her wool and it blossomed from there. We bought some velcro gloves, rubber boots, and haven't looked back since. Every time she says "bahhh" I know she is saying "I love you."
Him, if you're just referring to change in relationship status. But cutting things off is probably the best thing he did for me in all of those three years.
I've (female) had a string of relationships of various levels of healthfulness. I've always initiated in each and every one :/ Though I'm not even sure if I could deal with a guy being interested in me, it's way easier to get rejected than reject someone imo. (I've had some guys ask me out but the answer has always been no, meh.)
I told him I liked him probably a year and a half ago and he brushed me off as if I didn't say anything. Six Months ago he asked me out. We've been together ever since and it keeps getting better.
My advice though: Everyone is afraid to express their feelings these days because of fear of rejection. It shouldn't matter what gender you are. Go For It. It's better to know if it's a yes or no rather than waiting around for something that could possibly never happen.
He cold approached me on campus. I friendzoned him, then started liking him after a lot of hanging out. He initiated sex, but mutual agreement on relationship. I said I love you first 6 months in, and he said it back.
Female. We were mutually flirting ever since we met. He invited me over one day and we were official from there. I guess he technically asked me out but it was really just a formality as it's pretty clear what we both want (a relationship). Been dating 2.5 years now and everything is wonderful :)
First off, I'm loving all the variety in the replies and how so many lead to great relationships!
Male. Relationship itself was initiated by me, but only because I was the one who vocalized my feeling more I think. Only 6 months with plenty of room to grow :)
Female. I flat out stated my interest after a week of being extra friendly... mutually decided not to date. We still hung out together, eventually 'officially' started dating a couple weeks later. Been together for over 2 years, still as happy as ever.
16 here. Reason for mutually deciding not to date: he was going out of the country for coop in 3 weeks. That decision to not date went to hell fairly quickly and the first four months of our relationship was a long distance one. Still worked out rather well.
Male: I asked my current girlfriend of three years out, but she started flirting with me first
ReplyDeleteYou're literally me. Except for the three years part.
DeleteI went out of my way to get his attention, but I let him make it official.

ReplyDeleteSo like most females you're just going along with it.

ReplyDelete100% him. I was not that interested when he asked me out. After the first date, I was sold! 7 years strong.
