Would you make a good boyfriend or girlfriend?

Question

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

Honestly? Probably not-

I prefer my own company and being left alone, especially after work. I am that person that will turn my phone on vibrate or DnD after work so I can just shut out the world and unwind. And unless you're a close friend or family, I barely talk to anyone in the evenings when I get off work. Why? I'm tired and mentally burned out from talking all day. That might be seen as a turnoff to most guys that want to spend time with their partners.

I'm a gamer, so I spend long periods of time gaming or chatting with my friends online (yes, I know how to balance my real life obligations from gaming).

In addition, I'm a gymrat so I'll be blunt: I pretty much eat, sleep, and live the fit life, LOL. That is probably a turnoff unless said guy is also into fitness- which around where I live is VERY rare. Most guys rather go out and eat and drink, than discuss how much I can bench or press. Heck, I know my friends and family get tired of hearing about it.

I've been single so long, I forgot how you make a guy happy anymore. What do you guys need nowadays: food, someone to talk and listen to, sex, and attention? Help a girl out here...

Oh and I abhor cooking, so if he wants a "conventional" woman that can cook all his meals? He's screwed, lol. I'm doing damn good to meal prep my own food every week.

Hey... at least I'm honest; that's better than some of these delusional people on dating sites breaking peoples hearts, misleading, or traumatizing people because they aren't mature enough to realize they might not be ready for a relationship.

I think I would. I'm naturally shy, very sweet, affectionate, unconditional love, and maybe a few others. But right now I have personal development going on and it will continue to stretch throughout my lifetime. After all, we never stop growing up do we? I'm hoping I can find someone that I can grow with too. Besides loving them of course.

HawkPerception · Accepted Answer

I'll be arrogant and say yes. I'm an extremely supportive partner. And while I wouldn't say I put in a ton of effort into romantic gestures, I do make sure to celebrate the important things like birthday, Christmas, and anniversary. I'm very honest and communicative. I'm pretty good at talking out issues, although I do avoid them sometimes when I see the same point being argued and going nowhere. I'd say the only thing holding me back from a relationship at the moment is my financial situation. But other than that, I think I'm a solid partner.

ManInChains · Accepted Answer

Hell no, which is why I am not seeking a relationship. I have far too much baggage from past relationships and past attempts at starting something new. I would be miserable as a boyfriend and a girl would be absolutely miserable as my girlfriend. I’m doing us both a favor by staying single.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Apparently, she thought I was a good boyfriend because she married me.

I like to think so. I'm the one, that asks how i can keep a girlfriend happy, had i someone to ask this question.

electromagnetic · Answer

At this point in my life, probably not. I’m certain if I don’t die with my partner now, I’m destined to be alone because I don’t think i can easily jump back into the dating pool.

HighValue · Answer

To some I would be amazing, but to others it wouldn't be very good. It would depend on moral compatibility, and if there were common interests to enjoy together.

If she likes lots of affection, isn't into drugs/alcohol, and is a gamer it would likely work well and both people would be happy.

DishLady · Answer

It’s hard to say bc I do believe we change a little over time, but in the past I’ve been told I’m girlfriend/wife material a few times.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I think so, I am very easy going and like spending quality time with my girl. I'm not needy and just expect respect, because I give respect.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Not anymore. I think i’m officially in that “too old to compromise” phase of my life. Take me or leave me. I’m not changing for a woman ever again.

Levin · Answer

I would make an excellent boyfriend. The kind of one girls dream about growing up. A real Prince Charming.

DrPepper12 · Answer

That would be a qualified yes. I'm a complete baby when I'm sick. I do tend to be stubborn and arrogant at times. In conflicts I remain completely calm which just irritates people. I'm really low maintenance. I don't care for things I care for experiences. On the whole yes.

Abhishek4444 · Answer

I am handsome but beautiful girls rejected me because I am skinny and weak in strength

thisAppIsGarbage · Answer

I've always ruined all of the girls I lover's lives. I've always told my male friends that come to me for advice "if I knew anything about women I'd have never had so many girlfriends"

Kimberly1979 · Answer

I think so I treat my partner well and communicate clearly.

Shiningtempest · Answer

@coachtanthony I'd be a lousy lover because I strongly prefer familiarity & routine over trying new things. I don't think she'd be able to handle my serious, impatient, & adamant personality.

Booklover_90 · Answer

I’m looking to be a good wife, not just a good girlfriend.

sage2021 · Answer

I was a very good girlfriend to my boyfriend and we treated each other with respect. I would still be his good girlfriend but he passed away suddenly 8 months ago.

captain_voidwalker · Answer

Not anymore, my past experiences have pretty much killed my ability to trust. And you can't have a relationship without trust

Wiredone · Answer

I'm a good husband so I guess I'd make a good boyfriend

Avicenna · Answer

Yeah, of course!

legalboxers · Answer

Guess no ladies like the "box theory". Trust Honesty Communication and Respect

LaurenM1997 · Answer

At this point it’s hard to tell I don't know I haven’t had a boyfriend since 2019 so god knows

At3mis24 · Answer

I’m unable to maintain a relationship, at some point I run away

SotiCoto · Answer

I'm alone precisely because I'm awful at that sort of thing. I'm far too independent, need tons of alone time and privacy, etc.

LiamJHayden · Answer

I'd like to think so, but judging by my relationship history I think I am a million times better as a friend than as a partner.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

I'm doing my best to keep him.
