I get a lot of email and talk to a lot of guys who say they want to be in a serious long term relationship. Some of them even want to get married to that one special guy. And that’s great! Sadly though, most of these same guys have bought into one of three different illusions or myths, (sometimes all three illusions).We live in a fast and instantaneous dating men culture where we expect to order or do something and get instant gratifying results, for the least amount of time, effort and money.
Unfortunately, much of life doesn’t fall neatly into place like this. And a long term relationship or partnership where you live happily ever after with the man of your dreams certainly won’t happen with the snap of your fingers. It’s a simple concept and yet for some reason a lot of guys forget that there are no short cuts to long term relationships. They wish for or want instant online dating satisfaction, (that’s what bath houses and glory holes are for).
As for the “happily ever after” part; well, not likely. There’s also going to be a number of bitter sweet moments, sad moments, and yes, there’s even going to be a number of real rocky moments in any couple’s life. Sometimes, those couples decide to go one extra step and have some sort of ceremony to signify to themselves and the world that they are committed to this sex dating partnership for a long time to come.
Another illusion that a lot of gay men seem to have is that they’ll meet some hot guy in a bar, take him home, have a good roll in the sack and then all of a sudden they’re going to be partners for dating site life with some guy that they just met. Picking up some guy at the bar or anywhere else for that matter doesn’t mean that after a night of fun, you guys are going to become a couple for any length of time.
Sure, you may end up going out several times, but it doesn’t mean that the other guy is interested in having any sort of long term relationship with you. The same goes for going out on a date with a guy that you met through an internet dating personals site. Going out on a date means just that – going out on a date – nothing more.
Long term relationships of one sort or another can result from either instance but it takes time. You have to get to know the other guy first. You have to do things together. You have to constantly share your life. A ” mature dating relationship” isn’t merely a word it’s an active connection between two people. It’s a connection that requires cultivating and nourishing.
