Some people are natural when it comes to relationships other people can't do it. I think that it is either in a person or it's not. Realtionships are very hard work.

As for long term relationships, I would say not to worry about it. First you have to give time to a short term one. No one gets involved with the intention of forever. Some people start slow, and time adds up creating a long term relationship. You don't need to jump into anything. You have time and day by day you will be able to decide for yourself if you are ready for a long term relationship....you know? Does that make sense
