I haven’t had that many opportunities to pursue romantic relationships. After I finished college, I had to focus on taking care of my family. I wasn’t able to go out throughout the week and see people my own age. It’s hard to date online when you haven’t even dated in person before. I wish I had gotten more experience, but it’s hard when you don’t have a dad at home to teach you these sorts of things as a guy. Plus she could but it’s hard when you don’t have a male’s perspective. So now I’m here trying to learn all these things in real time as I attempted today. I had one girlfriend for a few months and things were a little bit frustrating at first. I remembered how much we would fight over the most trivial things. It reminded me of my parents fighting over the thermostat in the house. Mother and my father could never agree on what temperature they wanted the house to be, regardless of whether or not we’re using the air conditioning or the furnace. After my recent relationship issues, now I understand why couples bicker over things like the thermostat for the central HVAC system. It’s important to have compatibility on things like indoor temperature preferences. You’re going to be miserable if you and your spouse have completely different sets of norms when it comes to where the temperature should be for the central HVAC system. Hopefully, I can find a partner that agrees with me on where we set the air conditioner over the furnace on a day-to-day basis.
