Unfortunately for you, that hasn't even been brought up here, so you can go back to Relationships to tell people how bad love is.

Not sure why family is bad with people here. Friends are families to others too...
It's not that family is bad. What's bad is your suggestion that family is always good and friends are always overrated. That simply is not always the case.

I'm not an exception. MANY people have friendships like mine.

But I’m just saying how I think it should be in general.

You don't get to decide that.

When you are in a relationship, you are only a part of the equation. You have to consider the other person's feelings, or it won't work.

You claim you want a "real, emotional relationship," but I don't think you really know what that means. And this behavior:

You are gonna do what you wanna do, regardless of their feelings, which are shown in the "same pattern repeating."

The worst part about this is that you also appear to be getting some kind of thrill from repeatedly posting here, too, which makes me less inclined to try to help you.
Well I want her to complete the set because I care about her. Without completing this set, that’s another hole in my heart.

I don’t know her feelings but she has made it ambiguous.

Well it's not, and I'm thankful it's not. I get to choose the people I'm close to because we have things in common beyond the chance of genetics.

I just don’t understand why you can’t have things in common with people you share blood with. If anything you should have more in common since things run in families. Look at how much the families in Godfather loved each other.

You CAN ... but it's not always possible. Distance, age differences, different lifestyles, etc. There are many reasons why you may not have anything in common with people.

But what about being more flexible? You can always learn from others.
