I am a social guy, talking to people comes quite natural to me. Therefore I make friends easily. I have had a ton of crushes and was also in love for a couple of times. However I have never had any relationship to speak of (I’m 25, btw), and I feel like I’m missing out on something.

When it comes to relationships I honestly don’t know how people do it. I don’t know what makes someone “like” someone else, safe for their appearance. Or how someone “starts” to see another as a romantic partner rather than platonic. I feel like I only know how to serve friendship. So how do people develop feelings for someone?

      but then what is your actual challenge here?

      I don’t know, that’s a good question. How to convey that to the other person, I guess?

        It’s not clear to me yet what you want: not too serious, but more than friends, so… sex? Not judging, just trying to understand. And maybe you don’t know yet.

          I mean, I’ll take what I can get (short term, long term). As I said I have never had any sort of relationship to speak of so I wouldn’t really know. But casual sex would be best for me as things are now.
