Good to see the thread taking off,
As some of you might know Im getting married in November this year, The latest issue im having with my other half is regarding living arrangements.
Basically she wants a house in Sydney and I want an apartment, My Reasoning is for the money were going to spend on a house its not going to be that great so if we buy an apartment instead I can get something really nice with views in an awesome location, If we buy a house it will more than likely be run down and need alot of work to be done to it.
The housing market in Sydney is only on the up & up with the average price of a house within 20km radious of the city costing over $1m, borrowing the money isnt an issue but theres just something i dont like about spending $1m+ on a house thats not even up to standard?
Were both going to be contributing to the purchase with myself obviosly contributing a significant amount more than she.
What can I do GTP? What Can I do?
Oh yeah & she wont ever sht up about having kids which is irritating

I've been with my other half for ten years now, and despite the ups and downs (my other half is a bi-polar manic depressive, a proper one, not like Catherine Zeta-Jones), we're stronger than we have ever been.
One thing I will say is, when I was younger, I never realised just how much hard work it would take. It is very hard work to make a relationship work, but keep trying and you will get there.

My recommendation is to check your facts: median house prices in Sydney are high, but not over $1m.

I dont know, I believe its a widely used metal often found it buildings, Old vehicles and numerous other applications....
Sadly women seem to confuse this useful metal with an appliance to steam press ones clothes! lol
Silly billys....
My sister-in-law gave birth last night, im dead excited to meet the little guy!

The problem with these figures is that they incorporate house prices from the greater sydney area which are much cheaper that homes that are closer to city hub thus bringing down the average house price figure for Sydney in general.
Working in the mortgage industry Im constantly involved with the turnover of property an the figure of $1m+ is average for a good home in a decent location. this especially rings true in the suburbs that arent ghetto.

^^ this is what $650,000 gets you, a crappy house in a hardcore ghetto area, only good thing is the suburb is semi close to the city, but thats it.

I seem to remember when you met this girl. Major congrats. 👍👍My relationship is fantastic. We will have been together for a year next month and we'll be in Jamaica watching the sun set over the deep blue water with free cocktails to celebrate. Up yours, bitch of an ex!
But yeah on a more serious note we're currently building houses next to each other on a Minecraft server. And she wants to get Portal 2 some time soon.

Balmain has some nice places for 800+, but I agree with your original sentiment - apartment or terrace over a house any day of the week.
This is why I won't post about any relationships I might ever have. You can't really date at the age of 12.

I don't really understand that way of thinking. Are you having a relationship? Yes? Then post it up, Johnny!
It's almost elitist how adults say 'You can't be in love/in a relationship, you're too young!' or 'You wouldn't know what love is!'
Everybody has to start somewhere, for me the journey has been/is just as important as the destination.
I'm interested in how relationships are for the younger guys here - are they as easy as I remember them being? Very chilled out, lying out on the school field in the sun, holding hands - even a cheeky kiss before getting on the bus home... Or has hectic modern life made even those early relationships full of drama and frustration (not that kind of frustration!)?

My main concern is what are 12 yr olds doing seeking relationships??? I dont know about you guys but when I was 12 I was to busy having fun with my friends on the weekends and still getting up to mischief

You may have your duplicate relationship thread. But you may not have a thread which discusses other interesting threads. 
I had a girlfriend when I was 12. We barely hung out. It was 100% harmless and it didn't interfere with my mischief at all. It also lent absolutely zero life experience or lessons. It was a dumb 12-year-old move by dumb 12-year-olds. I was barely comfortable kissing her on the cheek. I don't see any reason for concern. It's not like you can do anything crazy. You have curfews and you still need to get picked up and dropped off to hang out. Anything "bad" a 12-year-old would do in a relationship is something they would do without one.
No reason for concern at all.

I have been in two relationships, where I realized I really don't care.
I'll probably change my tune when I meet the right girl, but seriously, it is not worth my effort to actively find a girlfriend.

I know what you mean, its not so much a "concern" I just think that kids should try to be kids for as long as possible because you cant go back to being one once reality kicks in. Admittedly im 23 yrs old and still act like im 16 when im not in a work environment
The main thing I think is good about having a GF is you generally become a better more responsible person without even realising it, Your friends will give you crap inevitably but thats mainly because there envious

Hello,
I have a question? If a girl is in a relationship for more or less than 4 years with a boy. Is it possible that they already mate together? Regarding of her ethnic(Model, Healthy Woman).

I have no problem with you being in a relationship. Hell, I'm 14 and still look back upon things like that with fondness. My problem lies with you acting like you are a mature person in society who thinks they know what dating really is. I remember a relationship of mine with a girl that lasted 4 years until I was 13. I thought that we were both incredibly mature, and that seeing her occasionally constituted dating.
Fast forward a year and a half, and I could see that it was just another friendship (an incredibly healthy and prosperous friendship, I will concede that). Get into year 9, 10 and beyond, and you might start getting a glimpse of what dating is.
And what you might think is daring and passionate as a 12 year old is nothing compared to what even a 14 year old couple might do!
EDIT: Whoops, I thought you were the 12 year old. My bad!
but I stand by my statement. 
One more edit, just for the lulz:
Eric.
...I would almost buy some premium just to see what the hell you guys do in there! It's like some massive GTP conspiracy!
