give your best bit of advice about relationships in SL that will help your fellow users:

i say:
be true to YOURSELF. don't let yourself fall into a routine where you depend on a significant other to make yourself feel good about yourself and define you in ways you were lacking, i.e. being attractive, deserving love, etc....

expecting someone else to do all those things to your satisfaction will only cause anger and disappointment. A relationship with a man or woman should be to compliment to each other....not for compliments.

Don't believe anything anyone says.

i happen to agree.

ETA- in retrospect, anything and anyone is a bit extreme.

Pretend this is written in 32 point Bold type -

DONT RUSH!!

The people i see that meet someone and in a few days have partnered do not generally feel so rosy about it shortly thereafter. We live at a rushed pace, but this is not a thing to rush.

When things go south- don't threaten to quit etc- you dont commit suicide everytime some one dumps you in RL - and for pete's sake- be honest - dont play people- if you do not feel you are the one guy/one girl type then dont pretend you are- at the end of that, your ex is hurt and your shortcomings are obvious.

And good luck, Mr. or Mrs (or Mr's and Mrs's) maybe around the next prim. ;)

As my mother warned me a long time ago: "If one isn't enough, what makes you think two will be?"

Pep (Or three, or four, or five, or . . . well, you get the idea.)

My Dad told me to stay away from redheads, but I married one.

Pep (You were right for once, Dad.)

For lovers and forums......

Let's Go Out in a Blaze of Glory (hat tip to Kenny Rogers)

Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heroes in a story
Let's go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory.....

Here we are broken-hearted
We thought our love would never end
We fell hard when we got started
Fallin' out like we fell in

Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heroes in a story
Let's go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory.

Let's not hurt each other
That would be a worst mistake
Once again, let's act like lovers
One more time, for old time's sake

Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heroes in a story
Let's go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory..............

What's with this "all good things must end"?

Pep (ALL things must end, bad, good or middling.)

PS Remember, marriage is only until "til death do us part".

To add to Treasure's Kenny Rogers' theme:

You got to know when to hold em
And know when to fold em

If they are giving you drama, let them go. RL is hard enough without someone making your SL miserable.

Clear guidelines.
If you are going to change the rules you have to let the other person know.
Date Night.
Gifts.
Don't isolate - make them apart of your social life.

The first rule of relationship advice:

Don't give relationship advice.

I'm single in SL. My advice would be never to put more into a virtual relationship than you're prepared to lose.
