Why I am still single...

[TwisttheLeaf]

Getting back to what I was saying, I met the "I feel you're the love of my life (in one week) guy", the "intense" guys, and the "I love you (but didn't know really anything about me) guys".

What I learned? true love takes time, and yeah need to be tested, like when you taste a food you cook the first time just to be sure is fine before sharing it to someone. or like rewatching a exam you made just to be sure you didn't mistake something before giving it to your professor.

You know what? I would ordinarily agree with this 100%... except.

Gideon.

[MENTION=20938]Gideon[/MENTION] insists he knew I was meant for him from the first second he saw me. He crushed after me and secretly watched me long before we ever met for the first time. He was FAR more invested than I was when our friendship began, and also when our relationship started.

It took me a couple years to actually catch up with him, and he has remained steadfast and fully focused upon me the entire time, insisting he knows exactly what he wants and I am it.

I eventually did catch up, and now our strides concerning love are in sync. I'm just saying... sometimes that love at first sight thing? It actually does work out. It's rare, but it does.

I met nice people, nice guys, but who get lost quickly when I tried a bit to stepped on the gas in the topics I really liked, and I always had to change the conversation to simple topics again, like videogames, pop music, etc.

In that moment I learned that not everyone was able to be with everyone, I realized I have a type, maybe I can understand everybody but a few can understand me

Love this. Just had to say it.

I'm not the most educated or enlightened guy in the world. And, honestly? There are times (depending on my level of emotional health at the time) that anything more than simple conversation isn't something my brain can handle. But, like you, I've found that when all my cylinders are firing? I also need someone that can keep up.

Love is like a building that have to be constructed with pillars and these pillars are named, Confidence, Time, Friendship, Desire, Equality and Comprehension... maybe they are more

Trust, Respect, Chemistry, Communication

End Game: Excellent post, man. Very personal, and insightful. I really enjoyed the read.
