So for the last year I've been into Final Fantasy XIV online...so much fun! I also recently bought the Mass Effect trilogy remaster, my first time playing Mass Effect games. Yesterday I preordered the new Lego Star Wars game that comes out early April, excited about that. Everyone seems to have gotten into that game, it just didn't grab me when I tried it.

Nearly two years on and I still am. Nice! I hope it continues! I'm back to being in the office full time. Thanks, it looks like it will...with this company anyway.

I also randomly wish I could work from home more often, it's lovely not commuting. Nearly two years on and I still am.

Hello Sigh, Zoe and alan. I think the site was busy at a time when there were fewer outlets for shy/anxious people to communicate. It could be at a pace that suited you, whether you wanted to be very active or sit back and observe most of the time. Life moves on for most though, as does technology and 'social media' in particular. As far as I can tell (I'm not an expert at all!) forums like this have fallen by the wayside to a large degree. This, along with people just generally moving on with life, or being dragged along regardless, means the traffic has dwindled. I imagine younger generations just have other outlets for their needs these days outside of forums. Perhaps the fact this site has next to no activity now is offputting in itself? Who knows. Unfortunately, this is the case. I used to love forums but it seems like the closest modern forum is reddit. I like the idea of just being unknown on one forum and making posts that just exist here. I don't like everything being tied together under a central identity.

That's strange, I just beat Subnautica last week. Great game, although I feel like it drags on a bit in the end.

I watched the first episode of that Zoe, my first degree is in Biology so I found that show really interesting and fairly weird too Currently the show I'm watching is Bojack Horseman.

Unfortunately the forum is quite dead. It's nice to see some non bot posts though. Do you still love Beyonce?

I joined facebook last year and it is definitely not the place I would post sincere emotions on. Perhaps it's just me but I don't like putting sad or negative emotions on there for people I don't know to see, I am quite private. Conversely I don't post on facebook at all. But I don't think facebook is the right place for those emotions, I tend to confide in people I know well, I don't like other people knowing my unhappyness. Also facebooks seems like the permanently happy place where everyone's great times are stored, not the job interview misses, days getting rained or being dumped.

I didn't start off my relationship by talking about expectations but maybe I'm weird like that. Oh i see. Well you did say each relationship is different and unique from one another. So i don't think its weird of you to do that. I haven't really given her any list of my expectations either. I just don't what i should be expecting of her. I guess it's really up to her to do what she wants to do, say what she wants/feel and how she would want to respond to me and my actions/inaction. I do still consider this relationship, as kind of a long distance relationship still since she does work and stay outside the city for most of the week. So i think there would be problems there in the future. I don't know. Right now, we are just comfortable talking with each other and seem to have just enough few things in common that we can enjoy each other's company. I guess i'm trying to give this a chance. Maybe without thinking much of what problems that may arise in the future.That seems to be good mentality, I think over-thinking things in general can be quite sour for a person, particularly in the early stages of relationships.

Thanks for sharing your experience, the things you've learned from them and the advices Ura. It was kind of nerve wracking and a bit terrifying at first indeed. But so far the girl i'm referring to (let me call her "Rene", not her real name of course) didn't give me any list of her expectations. Rene said it was easier for her to give me a list of things she doesn't expect from me. Simple things like she doesn't expect me to go with her everywhere or drive her anywhere. She doesn't expect me to prioritize her over my parents. She doesn't expect me to answer her texts ASAP. She doesn't expect me to pay for everything when we go out. Of course she said she wouldn't mind if i wanted to do them. Like pay for everything when we go out. She said this jokingly. So overall, i thought these things weren't that bad at all. She doesn't seem to be all that controlling. She is really kind and easy to talk to. Even some of her friends already know about me. One of them is even coming home this December and wants to meet me? Well, Rene and I are gonna meet again this weekend. So far so good. No problems yet encountered. I didn't start off my relationship by talking about expectations but maybe I'm weird like that.

I was never in a relationship or had ever had much interaction with the opposite sex until I was 26 years old. I had to catch up so speak on what people have done years ago. All I would say is it sort of feels natural, it can be nerve wracking at first and a bit terrifying but it gets easier as the relationship progresses.
From conversations with friends who have much more experience and are in healthy normal relationships I get the impression you don't really know much. I feel like I don't know a lot as this is my first relationship. I think one thing that I like to keep in mind is not being walked on but also not being too controlling either. Also I think what you expect depends entirely on you, some good advice I got from a friend is that no two relationships are the same and it depends on each person, but I think you'll find that out as you go out with someone.
