Re: How do people get into relationships?How?
You have a personality (can't stress this enough).
You meet someone with a personality.
Your personalities match.
You click.
You both decide that spending time in the other's company isn't so bad.
Oh look, you're in a relationship. -

Re: How do people get into relationships?I think it sounds more like you have a self-esteem issue or you're insanely shy and need to meet new people. You also sound really young... young enough to not have to care about being in a relationship and should concentrate on experiencing what life has to offer instead.
Looks might be important at first but it's your confidence, personality, and character that will ultimately put you in a long and meaningful relationship. Looks fade, your experiences and what you make of life doesn't. -

Re: How do people get into relationships?I often wonder the same thing. I'm getting on a bit now and my 'interest' in women was very low up until about a year ago. Now I wonder what it'd be like with a companion in life - I'm happy enough on my own until the right one comes along, however I'm not gonna be in a relationship for the sake of it if you understand my meaning.

Re: How do people get into relationships?Well, I am not attractive at all and I have had a couple of relationships in the past. Apparently it is to do with personality as some people will put that above looks.
What works for me is putting all self conciseness to one side and just talking to people. It makes the world of difference if you can have a "normal" conversation with a girl. Chat away, find a common interest, work on that, and go from there. Well, that is how I got my last (and first long term) girlfriend anyway!
The fact she turned out to be completely mental is a different story, but it is all experience. If a girl came up to me who I didn't immediately think was attractive and made an effort to engage in conversation, I would say that is more important than the initial first impression.
Good luck, not all guys are as shallow as some people think

Re: How do people get into relationships?Well in my last case, I met a boy. We started talking. We talked for months, tension building. We had our first kiss, fell of the chair and his friend comes walking in and says " So are you two FINALLY together now?" We look at each other questioningly boy says "Are we?" I say "I suppose so" and that was the beginning of a beautiful 3 year relationship hahaha. I remember those days very fondly

Re: How do people get into relationships?It just kind of...happens
You can meet through friends or randomly, and then you get talking, exchange numbers, maybe go on a date, have the first kiss and then he (or you) asks you out (or you ask him out) and there we go - a relationship!

Re: How do people get into relationships?You can't make it happen. It might be another 5 years before you have a relationship, or you might meet someone tomorrow. In my experience though it is very rare to find someone with whom you have a really good connection with as well as physical attraction - but that doesn't mean it's never going to happen.
