What are the pros and cons of having a boyfriend over someone of the opposite sex? I'm just trying to figure out how I really feel about dating guys in the future over girls. Does it feel like having a best friend in a way, but with the obvious benefits of being in a relationship? I have so many questions but I'll refrain from asking them and just let everyone tell me whatever they wish to thanks
As a person who has never been in a romantic relationship, I don't have any personal advice. However, with a same sex partner there will always be haters, and you have to be prepared.
Thank you. I don't plan on getting a boyfriend until I'm in like college lol. I'm 16 ATM, so I'm just wondering. I'll probably join a LGBT at a college and meet someone there. I don't think the haters will be a problem, I'm not really looking to please them lol. I say bring it on :lol:
Oh dear, I'm drawing a blank and I've had two boyfriends. Um....best friend with the benefits of the relationship. A relationship is like a dog: it can give you joy or it can make you sad. The relationship can make you feel all warm inside or dull and gloomy inside. You have someone to come home to, talk to without feeling judged, just be yourself around them. You feel like the other person understands your struggles and your turmoil. They also understand your joy and high points. That's all I have to say on that regard. Honestly I don't see the underlying differences of a homo relationship vs. a Herero relationship. I guess if I had to say something, the homo couple is less likely to hold hands in public and be cutesy in public. But I also believe that has to do with the status of the relationship or the people in that relationship.
Since I've came out as a gay man, I have been in four long standing relationships. I have to say that I really love the feeling of being involved with someone who was connection with you emotionally and support you unconditionally with your situations and/or goals and dreams. I love it when I'm involved with a guy and you could be at a party with a lot of people and you catches him looking at you as if he is the luckiest guy in the place. With the exception of one; the remaining guys all had no problem showing me how much they cared about me and I am not talking about in a materialistic way.
I may be female, but I've dated men and women. I have to say that dating a member of the same sex is just so stressful sometimes. Especially if you have conservative family members that threaten to disown your partner from the family... I think that's why I try to avoid my interest in the same sex. Isn't society sad? But on the plus side, it's very passionate and you both have a connection most people won't understand.
Well, I haven't had one yet, but here's the ones I could list from the top of my head. Cons: -Haters -You might not be able to show affection publicly (especially in other countries) -You might not be able to meet his family, if they are not accepting -He might not be out Pros: -You tend to understand each other more -You can relate more easily -Society doesn't bother you with gender roles as much That's what I can think of right now.
Pros and Cons of dating girls, from my experience: Pros- Very sensitive and picks up on your feelings quicker Will act cute to get your attention usually Actually seems less likely to stalk you than other girls or dudes Cons- Will act angry to get your attention usually X_X Seems to have a good reputation until you date her, then everyone badmouths her Let's be real- more emotional Now, from my experience, pros and cons of dating dudes- Pros- A lot more careful about what he says usually Won't cry over spilled milk... usually Will send you messages during the day to make sure you're doing fine Cons- Will ignore your messages on purpose Will be less quick to forgive Will act angry to get your attention

It was great until I discovered who he truly was instead of who I thought he was. People put on fake faces. I highly recommend that you look at the people that surround your current/potential boyfriend. My warning should have been when 4 of his friends decided they didn't like him an a month's time. When your bf makes excuses about why he can't spend time with you, you should be concerned. And no, I am not talking about spending time every day. But when your bf can't make time for you once a week and you are a short distance a way, you need to start asking yourself questions.
