Questions: Relationships

who falls in love harder, the man, or the woman?

idk, I've heard its the girl. but in my only serious relationship, I fell harder for her than she did for me, even tho she fell first.

I've read and heard that you shouldn't date anyone younger than 22. people who marry young get divorced much more often than older people.

every relationship I've had has taught me a lot, so I understand why older people are less likely to divorce - they have more experience and have learned more lessons, so they know what they're getting into and know how to handle it better. BUT every serious relationship I've had has caused me and the ex a lot of pain.

so, why do we, as young people (I'm 22 by the way), want to get into serious committed relationships when it's almost guaranteed to end painfully? ESPECIALLY in college when we probably live far apart over the summer and will probably end up far apart after college is over.

I want really badly to have a girl to share life with and learn about and love another person, and to have sex be about love, discovery, communication, appreciation, and excitement instead of just satisfying my shallow needs. BUT I don't know if it's worth the inevitable pain that is very likely to come when the relationship ends.

what do you think people?

Hey girls, do you like a guy who you can boss around, or do you like guys who have more self-respect?

Be honest.

Guys, same question.
