I'm single in SL. My advice would be never to put more into a virtual relationship than you're prepared to lose.
That should also be said of SL itself, I think.

never get into a relationship with someone who starts off with "trust me". from what i've now learned, that's a pretty good indication that you can't.

Don't consider someone as a potential date/lover/partner/romantic interest until AFTER you've found out that their perspective and usage of SL is compatable with yours, and that similar expectations exist for the whole perceivable future of your involvement together... whether that's an hour or an eternity matters not.

this! Pep wins my 15k. best advice EVER given, ever. goodbye. That's only good advice if living every moment in constant mistrust of others is what you desire. If you actually want to ENJOY that relationship, and have your partner actually ENJOY being with you, then that's the most counterproductive advice ever given... Keep your cash.. doubt and mistrust are substitute for nothing, and the worst way to start any interaction with someone. _____________________

Don't Rush.
Take your time. Sex is not the issue. But it is fun. Partnering in less than 3 months generally leads to fast break ups. Don't bother with people who only wish to bring you into RL if that is not what you want as well. And really really equally important: Don't consider someone as a potential date/lover/partner/romantic interest until AFTER you've found out that their perspective and usage of SL is compatable with yours, and that similar expectations exist for the whole perceivable future of your involvement together... whether that's an hour or an eternity matters not. _____________________

Log off and grow up.
People are faithful unto their own motivations and hormonal urges only. What does that mean? It means people can be trusted. Trusted to do whatever they think is good for them at any moment and they can get away with it. Fact of life in real life. Fact of life in Second Life. |

It is better if the glass is half empty, it means it is in the process of being emptied, so you have had half and can look forward to the other half.
If it is half full, who is to say that they will fill it up? @ Ann Otoole -> It is in my self interest to remain faithful to my partner because I want to be able to face myself in a mirror each morning knowing that I am a decent human being and not a cheating piece of scum. _____________________

Pretend this is written in 32 point Bold type - DONT RUSH!! My greatest relationship here is with a man that I was first friends with, and it deepened into many levels. Unfortunately, for unavoidable reasons, it is back to pretty much 'just friends', but it still remains my best relationship in SL and one I hope to never lose. _____________________

Puts you in a tiny noble minority. But what about your "partner(s)"? Do you have any means of knowing what they do when not in your site? OK with whatever they choose to do on their time? Some can deal with that. I don't like liars putting my real life at risk so no thanks. Sorry I have enough decades under my belt to understand what humans are. They are sexual beings. So I gave up on "relationships" a few years back. Now I will never be burned by a "cheating piece of scum" type person you mentioned ever again. Things in my life happen on my terms and to my advantage now. Another thing I learned is that people use religion to excuse their sex addictions. So what I said stands. Of course everyone will do as they please but when the relationship drama comes don't take it personal. Just position yourself to be immune going forward. Said with a complete lack of any emotion so you don't need to come at me with self righteous stuff. I am immune. |

People commit suicide when they have no hope left. If they thought tomorrow could be better, they would live another day.
To a smaller extent, I feel like I am having a conversation with someone that has killed part of themselves. _____________________
