Harder or easier?

[jennifer_bloom]

I would say the ideal is a lot of wisdom but not a lot of dating exposure or exposure to other men in dating, this is hard to find.

Only with an undesirable who doesn't have much experience himself.

If I’m gonna deal with the emotions of an insecure weakling that can’t compete I’m out. I’m not about to stress with someone’s insecurity 🥱.

[Asker]

Same with me, I sense insecurity or detective mode from her, I'm out too.

Right isn’t it a turn off?
Then the fool wants to act like you’re cheating when you ain’t doing shT.
Absolutely not.
Too much drama 😒

Personally, I don't like dating people who haven't had a relationship yet. The last two times I tried (with a guy, then a girl), it was bad.

Relationships aren't the same, but being able to draw on past experience and learning those lessons is invaluable.

Yes, though relationship experience isn't limited to romantic relationships. All relationships, family and friends included, deal with the same themes of communication, managing expectations, resolving issues, and dealing with your own emotions and actions towards others. How well you manage your own responsibility in each relationship, and learn from past mistakes greatly affects your success in future relationships as well.

It honestly has made it easier for me. I know what I want and don’t want in a relationship, and it made it easier to start dating my current boyfriend

It is like anything in life, practice makes perfect. The best partners are people with life experience.

[WhitneySnow]

Having experience in relationships will generally make new relationships easier. Unless you had a really traumatic past relationship. Then it can make new relationships harder.

No break ups hurt whether you did it or your other half did it. I don't think I EVER want to feel that again. I HATE my ex too. He's too cruel and selfish.

[ChooChooHaha]

Not necessarily. Lessons, sure. Having some idea of what to do, sure. But do I hold someone else's transgressions against someone that wasn't even there? No.

[Sasha0426]

Can’t say. Never been in a relationship before 🤷‍♀️

[scentoflavender]

Of course. Everyone learns and grows with time

[Kelly6]

Experience and practice helps

It helps me find better relationships.
