My first
Hello! I matched with a girl who has bpd recently on hinge and our interests are exactly the same, she’s extremely pretty and gorgeous. This would be my first time getting into a relationship and I would like to know about experiences from you all about what it’s like and what I should keep in mind before I commit to her. I like to research so I’ll read up on everything related to this so I can better prepare myself but I’d like some advice, tips, or even warnings. I like to help people and would like to mention I am slightly naive/gullible. I am also a student at university so I have quite a big workload that I need to keep on top of (I say this cause I’ve seen that attention and reassurance is a big part of being with someone who has bpd). I’ve already mentioned to her that since it’s my first relationship I’d rather take things slow and not rush into anything, but I do hope we progress into something more meaningful. Normally I’d brush it off and leave it be if the person doesn’t match me, but she does match me very well and I’m not sure that bpd should be the sole reason I deny being with her. I also want to know that since this is my first relationship how would this affect my views on relationships (since I have an oddly stoic yet versatile-understanding view of relationships, yk the usual “communication is important” “spending time is important” “setting appropriate boundaries”). I also get attached easy and while I’ve learned about how to let people go easily if they affect my life, I feel like it’ll be different in relationships. Please let me know anything I should keep in mind going forward, any and all information helps! All the stuff I’ve seen online sounds to be so negative and honestly it feels bad (Ik this sounds like pity but it’s not, I’m just very interested in her and we vibe extremely well)
