What is it like having a girlfriend?

Question

You can probably guess why I am asking 😑

I imagine I am playing Dead by Daylight or Final Fantasy 8 and the girl will sneak under the table and then surface in front of me and snuggle me or something.

That really depends. From my experience you can plot it out on a line, with the end points being "too easy" and "too difficult" as far as maintaining the relationship goes.

Either one of those and it likely won't survive any bumps in the road. Anyway, if you're newer to dating the trap you need to avoid is puppy love.

So for the first couple weeks to month of dating is when she'll blow you playing a game, you'll ignore that she talks about her ex-boyfriends while texting during a date, whatever.

It's part of what makes dating tough, aside from common stereotypes men and women like to give each other. You find someone you like, then amplify any good qualities about them while glossing over all their flaws, and don't realize it until the umpteenth time. Hence why "too easy" is a trap.

Certainly I enjoy being married much more than being single, and I love having my family, which I can't imagine just spawning kids all around while having little interaction with them. I say go for it, just vet who you're getting with carefully, enjoy the puppy love, but have some objective criteria, like writing things down so you can look back on it when you're alone.

It starts out amazing... because you don't know each other. then it can get challenging til you both smooth it out, working through the questions and issues. It's a high with stressors and challenges.

It gives you a high and something to look forward to, affection, companionship. A good girlfriend will improve your life and bring you new experiences and the ones you share are more enjoyable. They may turn one of your cells into a new life! A bad or difficult one will set your head spinning in frustration and misery you didn't know existed before. Working through that is possible, in some cases it's not.

Mhhh... it really depends on how good the relationship is. If it's good, imagine having someone in your life who costs you a lot of money, but loves spending time with you and thinks you're the next best thing since sliced bread.

If it's a bad relationship; imagine having someone who costs you a lot of money and makes you feel like they have disdain for you while you do it because they expect you to serve them.
