I believed the question summed it up fairly nicely. If you need an example, I'll tell you mine:

It was a dare.
I had to do it as a dare, or pay 5 bucks. I thought she had a boyfriend, so I'm content. Turns out she didn't, and she was willing to go out. I didn't plan for it, and I almost choked up on surprise. It was okay, lasted a few months, nothing special.

She told me she had a crush on me for a whole year...

It would be uncharacteristic of me to have a romantic relationship.

I met my first boyfriend at Wal-mart, he was carrying a dead goldfish in a bag. I told him that he should actually get a living fish for a pet and he said that he did, but it died on the way home so he was bringing it back for a refund. I mentioned that if he did actually get a fish from Walmart to survive the car trip home that he should call me with any fish-care questions and gave him my number, we dated for 5 years. (in which time he had about 30 fish, whom all died)

I suspect you need to define what you mean by "relationship." In one way, a relationship is any time you see someone more than once in a lifetime. I don't think that's what you mean though.

I've never had a relationship and will never have one until hell freezes over, Neo Rogolia denies God, and Tink posts something sensible that doesn't turn into spam within 5 minutes.

If I ever do find one, I'll take that back and publicly agree with Serapindal.

He was the first gay guy (other than myself) that I ever met. Naturally we bumsexed.

There was this chick, and for some reason I was attracted to her. So, I was talking to my friends about how I should ask out that chick, and then, on a friday, one of my friends was all like, "dude, why don't you just do it?" and I was all like, "no way!" and he was all like, "I'll do it for you!" so, then things lead to another, and she wanted to go out. So, anyways, we went to like a party or something, but it wasn't very exciting. A few days later she found out that I had addicently called her flat. :( It was over pretty quickly.

...bumsexed.
:D

Great word

:D

Great word
Glad you approve. :)

I do actually regret it though. He was quite fugly.

Online. That says it all, I think.

He had this really great red tricycle that he rode back and forth past my house....finally, he let me stand on the back while he peddled.

Hmmmmm ok since you asked.

I was after a girl in the dorms. She had a nice looking roomate. Tall girl and funny.

The girl and I danced that line of flirtation but nobody would commit. We finally agreed it was not going to happen as we felt our theme song would have been Highway to Hell. ;)

I hooked up with another girl and and a short torrid romance which ended badly.

One night the roomate went walking by(in the dorm) wearing a chamisole. I asked her if she was cold because her nipples were hard. She was dumbfounded; called me an asshole and stormed off.

A couple months later we went out. We eventually got married and have a 4 year old kid now. :D

As to the original comment of being shocked about a girl not having a boyfriend; let that be a major lesson to you "yunguns" in the dating world.

ALWAYS ask! You would be surprised how many hot women don't have a boyfriend. As one old girlfriend (who was stunning to the point of being way out of my league ;) ) once remarked "Guys look at these (D cups), look at my face and assume I have a guy."

Shocking to belive that she never dated that much as she was the complete package. Beautiful, blond hair, built in all the right places and extreamely intelligent.

Hmmmm that might have been an issue, many guys can't deal with a gal that is way smarter then them.

I don't have that issue. :D

Again guys. Always ask. The worst they can do is say no.

He had this really great red tricycle that he rode back and forth past my house....finally, he let me stand on the back while he peddled.
Oh, if you mean those kind of relationships too, then mine started when a girl claimed she had a toy train she rode to school on. I never did see that train :(

when I was 4 (hurrah for being the most experienced) obviously she was my next door neighbour.......we played with little plastic balls :) (not in that way :mad: )

I've had no relationships *cry*...

As a general rule, mine start badly and end worse.

It just did, at a party. No, not like that.

I've had no relationships *cry*...

You're not alone. Especially on the NS boards...

I've never been in a relationship.

I've had no relationships *cry*...

*Pats Lightning Star's back* It's okay...
*nods to doctor* Inject the morphine now.

Relationship? Uh… I don't do those.

Met in a restaurant, and got talking. Really not that interesting. I don't know why there are so many of these threads.

I bet it's because there are alot of geeks with no girlfriends on this forum, who are looking to pick up chicks because they are "hot studs" :p

Personally, I just haven't been in a relationship because I am shy when it comes to girls. I mean, I am very open to my female friends, but when it comes to relationships...ehhh, let's just say I have no skill at all...

Well you could always get a friend to ask a girl for you. Either that or get an earphone and have a friend tell you what to do on dates until you're confident enough. Heh, just like the movies...

Get me more morphine.

My first, and it's still going strong:

It was at a school football game. The other team was leading by a field goal. They kicked the ball off and he ran it back for a touchdown. Our school won, and I was so into it that I ran onto the field after the win and tackled him. I went to Boston Pizza with him w/ the rest of the team.

she found out I had a crush on her, so she invited me to her house when her parents weren't home...

...and you played monopoly! Am I close?

My first relationship was pure chance. I fell down a hole and landed on my head and when the dust settled I had a girl friend.

my first relationship started when the XX (or just X) and the XY got together and BAM, I began to grow.

or my first relationship outside the womb was probably with the doctor who guided me into the world.

in terms of "romantic" relationships, the first I can remember was in first grade. I asked a girl if she'd like to be French-kissed, English-kissed or American-kissed (true story). She said (thankfully) "English" so I just gave her a peck on the lips.

If I'd known then what I know now, I'd have said afterwards, "That was a cracking kiss! Care to shag, baby?"

lol

good old alice

And? And! We need details!

And? And! We need details!

No we don't! no we don't!!!

mine started with nail varnish and a maths textbook, talk about creepy...

No we don't! no we don't!!!

Yes we do! Yes we do!

Lemme guess, she couldn't find her pencil becasue it was resting between her bosoms? (Taken from Scrubs, btw).

Why must this turn into a sex charged thread? If you want that type of stuff go to a diffrent website.

well, I had my first kiss, nothing else spectacualar happened that night :p

BTW she turned out to be a total bitch, my current gf is much nicer (and less fat) :D

I wanna talk about my third relationship, since I don't remember how my first started, and the second is really odd.

Anyways, my third girlfriend, my current one, is my best girlfriend. One of my best friends and I were talking to eachother, in Info Tech, about my best friend's sister. She really liked my best friend yet he didn't like her. So he asked me if I would go out with her. Well I accepted it, only cause I want to help a friend and actually really like her. I couldn't ask her out because she's in 8th grade and I'm in 7th, so I had my friend do it for me. But he wasn't able to.
At lunch, me and my best friend, her brother, were talking, and I brought up her sister. And I found out that she had him, her brother, ask me out for her. It's like two people were searching for eachother to ask out, instead of one asking out the other and the other accepted. It was pretty cool that I found out that she wanted to ask me out as I wanted to too.
I had to leave early, so my mom picked me up from lunch, and I had to leave. Thank god I forgot my violin, because I had to go back into the school and get it. So I did, I saw her on my way to the music room, she asked what I said and I said yes.
So that's how it happened! We've been going out since, September 15, 2005 or it was September 22, '05. (I forgot, but it's great going out with her.)

Huh? I'm confused.

Did your friends' sister like him? In an incestuous way. So he asked you to go out with her? And now you're together?

That's all I can make out from this.

Dude, relationship -> Sex. It's the natural order of things on NS General.
Sex is one of the three most talked about topics on the forum, the other two being politics and religion. Homosexuality and abortion fall under politics, which is #1. Religion is #2. Sex is #3.

I'm not too sure if there are any others...

No, I think he has two different best friend, I think. Sort of. Maybe.

I've had a multitude of girlfriends over the years. Most of them never amounted to anything, although I did have a girlfriend in 8th grade who was incredibly cute (and even wore glasses! :D ). We met in newspaper club, and we kissed at a mixer. She broke up with me a couple of weeks later. Last I heard of her she was in a local mental institution...

Later I met my current girlfriend online. My friend talked to her and convinced us to meet each other in a "neutral location." We met, had fun that day. I never actually asked her "You want to go out?" because, frankly, if you make out at the end of the day (it being her first time, w00t! :p ) I don't think that formalities are required. That was 10 August 2003.

And I haven't stopped loving her since.

I congratulate you.

First, first relationship: Late Middle School, went out with some girl who I had obsessed over for about 10 months. I proffessed my eternal and undying love for her, and offered to retreive for her any gift that she chose as proof. She asked me to pass the salt. I swore that I would sooner blind myself than look with longing upon another woman. She asked me if that meant that I liked her more than Susan. I stabbed her to death and buried her in the backyard. She bled and screamed a bit. (Ok, the last part was exaggeration, in reality I just called her a bitch and swore off women, she went on to date some guy on the football team, and I was jealous because I wanted to date some guy on the football team, but none of them were gay).
First Guy Relationship: Decided to piss off my parents by pretending I was gay (And why I decided to that is a long story, mainly involving a friend of mine who was convinced that it was impossible for a straight man to fake gay as well as a gay man could fake straight. Said friend later came out of the closet, and I was surprised, though it should have been obvious).

She cut in line in front of me at the school library and I took exception to that and started to argue with her (Yes, I was and still am a geek). After a few days of snapping at each other, which by that time had turned into a running gag, she asked me to the Sadie Hawkins Dance.

Now my fiancee was introduced to me by a friend at his farewell BBQ. She had been in America for two years and hadn't left Reno and I thought that was really, really sad that of all of America she only got to see Reno. So I volenteered to take her to a few places whenever I went on a trip.

Still took me from July to Feburary to work up the courage to ask her out through (which was on Feburary 15th, NOT the 14th, no matter what she says. :p ).

What's Reno?

it's a city, right?

(To answer for him: Reno is a place. The only things I know about it are:

1. it's the traditional place to get divorced, Vegas being the traditional place to get married;
2. it is featured in songs, including 'Folsom Prison Blues' by Johnny Cash ("I shot a man in Reno/Just to watch him die") and 'All The Way To Reno' by REM ("All the way to Reno/You're gonna be a star"). The latter implies it may have some sort of film/music base.)

I believed the question summed it up fairly nicely. If you need an example, I'll tell you mine:

It was a dare.
I had to do it as a dare, or pay 5 bucks. I thought she had a boyfriend, so I'm content. Turns out she didn't, and she was willing to go out. I didn't plan for it, and I almost choked up on surprise. It was okay, lasted a few months, nothing special.
That's so romantic. :) ;)

Well, I know that Reno 911 is a Television series.

My first relationship was when i was ten. The girl who francied me was going to send me a valentines card, but her sister found it and told everybody. she ended up sending me a 'sorry' card, and we went out. Hmm...Thats confusing.

That's so romantic. :) ;)

Actually, the start of it was not, but the relationship once it got off of the ground actually was fairly nice.

PS. I know you're being sarcastic.

It couldn't be the smilies giving it away, nope, not at all!

My first one, I honestly can't remember much...it was late middle school. I've even forgotten her name. O_o

However, my current one is much better than any relationship I've had in the past. Life is good! :D

my best friend at the time introduced me to her first girlfriend. i didn't really like her at the time because she was taking my mate away from me. i thought i'd make the effort for my friend though because she really wanted us to get along. i persevered and eventually got to like her. over a few months we got really close, visiting each others houses etc. one day i was about to go home but couldnt get off the bed as my friends girlfriend was in the way. as i climbed over her to get my shoes she kissed me. :fluffle: we were together for over a year. 6 months of which she was still with my best mate. guess my friend got her wishes to come true!!

That's a fairly unexpected outcome...

...and I'm being serious.

I was feeling rather down, my senior year, because I'd gotten rejected by yet another girl. I'd had the most terrible luck up until then, I couldn't ever get a break.

So, on a whim, I asked the nice girl who sat next to me in art class if she wanted to go to a movie sometime next week. I didn't know her very well, we had met just a few weeks earlier on the first day of school, when we had started sitting at that table. She said movies were not her thing. So I went home and spent the weekend feeling depressed, as it was a friday.

On monday, after a very awkward art class, during which I sat as far away as possible (six inches farther than normal, since we couldn't move our chairs very much and still be in our regular seats), she came up to me and told me that she hadn't realized that I was asking her out, since I was fairly vague, and nobody had ever asked her out before. So we wound up watching movies at her house, and a few weeks later, we went to the planetarium (nerdy, I know), and then we were a couple. That was a little more than nine months ago, now.

Was she purdy? ;)

Of course not, as everyone knows it's impossible to discern emotion from a smilie. ;)

*shrugs* Hmm...better than average, I'd say. Nothing to lose sleep over.

Nope. I don't have a picture of her. Hell, I barely have a picture of me. If anything happens, I'll let you know in advance...

*pats Lewrockwellia on the back*

And are you still dating?

Yep, we still are. She's wonderfully sweet, smarter than me, and gorgeous (in a petite way). Hopefully, we'll stay together for a good long time.

Well, I know that Reno 911 is a Television series.


That's still on t.v.? I kinda liked it.. The comedy of putting it in Reno is that not much happens in Reno.. Reno's what you get when you take a couple of sub-Vegas casinos and planted them in the middle of a retirement community, with regular busses coming in from Chinatown.. it's like Vegas on Valium. :p

Anyway.. it's good to see I'm not the only one on the forum who doesn't do "relationships.." I don't really see the point of it all, given the aggravation.. but I do enjoy hearing others' tales of romantic woe, and a lot of great books and movies use romance as a plot device, so I'm fine with the idea.

How did your first relationship start?

Not with a bang, but a whimper.

I was lying on my back at the back of a Unitarian church, late one night, with hippies lying all over me for warmth, smoking afghani hash. A girl lying with her head draped across my belly refused the joint when it was passed around, and she started surrepticiously stroking my belly under my shirt. Twenty minutes later we were going at it like the wanton beasts we both were between the pews. And that's how my first relationship started.

I haven't had a relationship. :(

Dad .... ?

It's ok, your death will be quick and painless. You won't worry about who you're leaving behind. :D

Of course, you'll never have experienced a relationship either, so... you can't have it both ways, really.

That's awesome. I can kinda imagine something like that happening at my church, except my church has movie theater seats, not pews.

What's Reno?
Mid-sized city in Northern Nevada, 3rd largest in the state (which isn't saying much as Nevada is just over 2 million).

Kind of a smaller, less wild version of Vegas, but with better suroundings, nicer people, and actual history.

In terms of great places to see in America, having lived there for 7 years, it doesn't rank on the top 10 list, or the 50, or even the 100.

It is a good place to use as a base to go see a lot of those other places though. ;)
