Unloved in New York

uggh, I can't stand when people misuse the term "bi-polar." It does not mean you go from calm one minute to angry. It does not mean that you act crazy. Bi-polar is a psychological disorder characterized by episodes of severe mania and depression. Anyone who has the disorder will tell you it is extremely life debilitating without proper medication. These days, people use bi-polar loosely like it's the cool thing to have.

Yeah... I agree. That was one of the reasons the guy I liked last year said he couldn't be in a relationship. He would disappear for months at a time and never talk to anyone. It changed his entire life. Someone told me afterwards "Oh, it's good you spared yourself from that - you don't want to date someone who's bipolar." That may be good advice for me, but for that person it would be devastating.

You are also very young and inexperienced. Something you will learn as you date and enter into relationships, is that no matter how great you think someone is, chances are they have issues. No matter how great and wonderful you think that average Joe is, chances are he is going to have problems, and the relationship isn't going to be perfect.

Otherwise, plan for heartache and loneliness, as well as wasting away in a relationship that would be doomed anyhow with a guy who needs therapy.

QFT (quoted for the truth)
I gotta say that holds so true. Everyone's got issues, some just hide it better than others... My ex... I could write a book, then again when we were together I was oblivious of course.
