I'm 21, straight, never been in a relationship with a guy, as I'm afraid it would be too painful if and when it doesn't work.
How can I let go of the influence of my bickering parents, and not let this negative background taint my future love life?
btw... parents are together - i don't live with them, but they always have and continue to argue to the point where I wonder if they love each other. It certainly doesn't show! :(

O sweetie I totally connect with you. I wonder why my parents are still together. I must tell you it is a hard road. I'm 21 also and my current boyfriend I have been with for over a year but still find myself being cynical. I know its very hard for him but he understands (he's met my family). I guess the only thing I could tell you is when you find a guy, you must make it very clear to him that it is going to take a lot of time and patience to break down the wall you have been building your whole life. You need a guy to understand what kind of relationship you've grown up around. When you find a guy that is willing to do that, you'll see he is worth your time and effort and you'll start to ease up. Hope that helps!

look for guys in different places, try focusing less on yourself and more on a shared interest hobby or skill.
