After having my first relationship with a manipulative narcissist

I'm 21 years old, by the way. I'm sure age matters under this context.

My old relationship messed me up and made me extremely cynical that's all.

Don't do it. I learnt the hard way. Women will always monkey branch to someone they find better than you once the novelty of being around you runs out.

Unless you live in a small village, chances are, there will ALWAYS be someone more handsome, taller, smarter, richer and attractive than you. She will leave you eventually, and there will be nothing you can do about it.

I say go for it. There's always a possibility of a breakup, living in fear of heartbreak isn't going to help you.

I find it best to love, but not blindly. You have to be aware of signs of fading attraction, resentment, or other issues that might pop up. Work through them if possible, if not its best to split.

Your childish enthusiasm sickens me.

Thanks for telling me what I needed to hear!

Opie, you are overthinking this. You aren't picking a life partner, you're deciding to get to know someone better. Just get to know her more and spend some time with her. Don't think past the next month. You only need to be that long term about your career. In any relationship you can just bail at any moment with few practical consequences. Go for it you pussy and stop being such a fucking pussy about it trying to get your life partner or some shit. Btw i am same age in 3 yr relationship. Shit is going great but who knows it might not be worth it in a few months. All i know is i love keeping her around and spending time with her atm.

This is shit advice. Applies both ways. Maybe you will monkey branch to someone who offers you more value? The key is to keep improving yourself so that you are valuable. Sure there will be a super rich guy, but will the rich guy give her a stable, loving relationship and make her feel all gooey inside whenever he kisses her? Fuck no. He's got better shit to do with his time. Improve yourself and make yourself valuable, and equally unavailable.

Example: gf tells me aboout a convo with a friend. She told her friend about me saying that no matter how much money I make I will never buy her diamonds because they're not even rare, just overpriced. Her friend said to tell me "if you don't get them for me, I'll find someone who will".
When she relayed this to me I said "ahahaha arivadertchi!".

We are still happily together btw, and she worries a lot more about me leaving her than vice versa. But we don't play pety jealousy games either. It's just a healthy connection.

Improve yourself.
