SL Relationships - what are your expectations?

When you are in a relationship (like a couple) with another person in SL, what sort of expectations do you have?



- Companionship? (this includes intellectual discourse, etc..)

- Love?

- Intimacy? (pose-ball based cuddling and such)

- Intimate Emoting? (emotes relaying intimate acts between each of you that are not sex)

- SL Sex?

- All of the above? (Ya this could have been a poll too!)

What aspects of the above mentioned do you expect? What unmentioned aspects do you expect?

Which of these could you do without and still maintain your relationship, and why?

honesty.



.oO(LMAO)

I am pretty much content in my RL, so i am not in search of SL relationships, but if i were to break my own rules, it would probably be for the sake of having someone to come to when i am in world, just for the fun of it, since everyone else seems to be partnered.

but then again, i really dont' feel a need for that either.

I thought you would have said they need to be a blond.

All of the above, plus honesty, submission (hers, not mine), and......

PIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll let you all decide which kind I mean, normal pie or perverted pie. *wink*

ahhh, but THAT goes without saying. /me waves

Companionship - a friend - with whom I can talk and discuss issues and just learn from.

And sex.

I could do without the intimate emoting coz our chat is intimate enough without having to act it out.Besides, I kinda think of myself as a "pleasure replicant" for my partner. I can be whatever he desires me to be.

I like that way of thinking.

Ferret treats.

I expect them to end.

For the "Couple" to be considered a "Couple", all of the above, BUT, it has to be understood to be only roleplay between the avatars. A shared bit of fiction, for the entertainment of the people typing the avatar's responses, but between the two fictional characters. Between the real people, I offer, and expect no more than platonic friendship.

Anyone who expects more than that from any of my avatars will get told firmly that I can not and will not offer more than the above.

And of course, just like in real life, the number of people who are "Just friends" far exceeds the number with whom I would even consider having a "Relationship", even on the above limited basis. So for most people, most of the above options can be dismissed with, and Companionship is all I ask or expect of them.

I expect that any boundaries or limitations we lay down before hand be respected and adhered to.
I expect no mind games or lies.
I expect a lot of sex

Are we talking about any kind of relationships including friends or just the romantic/sexual ones? For the latter, nothing, I don't go there. Once I did, these days it just doesn't seem worth the trouble and I find RL dating much more rewarding. For the former, just that if you are going to get to know me using your alts too, you disclose that it is your alt when you meet me. That and no mind games - I get pretty pissed otherwise.

All the above EXCEPT emoting. I think its cute the first time I see others doing this.. Blah blah reaches over and gives soandso a wet kiss.. but... my personal preference is to have that come in an IM. .. and no emotes. a simple /me gives you a kiss to curl your toes

I expect honesty and respect. I also expect loyality and no dipping the stick in others oil cans... in original or alt form.

I have no expectations . . .

Pep ( . . . except that I will be disappointed)

Very wise. *nods*

SL Relationships - what are your expectations? .......
Zero!

I came here to be free, so I have no expectations beyond in-world friendships.

The only “relationship” I’d ever be in in SL would be one of friendship or a business partnership. So forget all of the above and replace them with honesty, loyalty and a sense of humor.
