I feel like I have nothing to offer in a relationship, besides friendship. So, what personality traits do you have to possess in order to maybe steer someone from wanting friendship to wanting a relationship? I don’t mean this like getting out of the “friend-zone” I mean like prior to that.

I guess there is not really a secret sauce for this. But generally what did the other person do differently for you that made you want to have a relationship with them, rather than just friendship?

    My dude. Being in a relationship is a want, not a need. What you need to do is park your ass in a therapist’s office and trauma dump.

    Your wants come much easier when your needs are met.

    A relationship won’t soothe what is truly hurting you at your core. It’ll feel nice in the moment, but a bandaid does nothing for internal bleeding.
