my first and most recent relationship was bad but, I think the first time for everyone will be bad because you're inexperienced. I made a really bad choice in dating the person I dated but now that I look back at it, it's helped me to make better choices in who I date and associate myself with. My ex was just crazy and I'm glad I broke up with her. Wouldn't wanna repeat what happened.
But now that I've learned my lesson, I'm currently trying to be in a relationship because I feel as if I have too much time on my hands and my friends are usually busy so I rarely get to hang out with them. My family is chill and all but I wanna do something new for once and right now I'm thinking about talking to a foreign exchange student because now I'm stuck with that guilt that "if I don't talk to her, I'll regret this and live with the guilt of never trying" and "if I do talk to her, I'll know that I at least tried but then I'll be sad to see her go back to where she came from". So right now I'm in a pickle. But like I said I find that I have too much time on my hands, my friends are always busy, I wanna try something new, and it's kinda boring spending money on myself all the time.
And as a plus, if I am successful with this foreign girl, she could probably help me with one of my life goals of being able to speak spanish to communicate with my family and other people.
Edit: I think what I'm trying to say here is that if you enter a relationship, it'll do more good than harm. I mean, it sucks when you break up but, you'll get over it pretty quick. Unless you've been dating for a longer period of time, then I'd imagine your take it a lot harder but, I would also imagine that you'd eventually get over that. Don't be afraid to try it out though! Relationships also help you figure out what it is you want in a person and what makes you shine in other people's eyes.
