To be honest. No. I think the internet is a pretty bad place to ask for relationship help.

It would help keep threads like that out of the way, having a separate forum for them would probably be a waste as they're pretty rare and no one takes them seriously.

Just google ''relationship forums'' and you'll have plenty to choose from.

Maybe a dedicated topic. But not a forum. This is Giantbomb.com. It's a website. About video games.

No. We don't need relationship stuff on a website about video games. That and have you seen this site give out relationship advice before? It doesn't go very well.

No, this is a video game site, we really shouldn't be putting any emphasis on relationship help, it's neither what we're primarily here to discuss nor something we are as a whole necessarily experts on.

I want to pick yes, but the extra bit about it being awesome is not true. I just think it gets posted enough that it should get it's own place to keep offtopic from getting bombarded with threads about it.

I think its kinda funny that people say its a video game website where the most commented on posts thend to be either about religion or that one i saw a while back about pluto. I think 'this is a video game site' isn't vaild if there is a lot of random stuff in off topic.

How can somebody who doesn't know you or your situation give you accurate advice? There are plenty of internet psychiatrists, but that doesn't mean they know what you should do.

From a bunch of guys on a videogame website. Generally the only advice people can offer on the internet is common sense.

@Xeiphyer: Just because you haven't got any relationship advice doesn't mean other guys on here dont.
Also the thing about common sense... is well its not all that common.

@AmonHouston: Oh I always give relationship advice, I'm just saying that getting advice on fairly important decisions in your real life from people on a videogame website is not the best way to go about doing things. Better you ask a close friend or something for advice. Its easy to throw out your 2 cents for some stranger on the internet since it doesn't matter. If I convince some guy to dump some girl he still likes, It doesn't change me any, but it sucks for that guy.
 
I would just rather people find better sources of advice.

@Xeiphyer: Oh yea, ask friends first of course. you would be a idiot not to first. But what about stuff that about your close friends or stuff like that? Better to ask a unbiased person.
 
BUT STILL KIDS! ASK CLOSE FRIENDS FIRST!

No, this is not a good site to find relationship advice, as reading any of the 'help me with x relationship/sex issue' threads should tell you that.

We already have a forum for that. It's called "Off-Topic".

Gaming sites are one of the worst possible places for relationship advice: As a result this idea has my full support.

Usually the people asking for relationship advice shouldn't be in a relationship in the first place. :P

All the relationship topics that pop up on here always go bad, so why would you want a entire forum of them?

Can the forum be locked off from the main list so I don't have to see the topics? 
 
That would improve my Giantbomb experience.

LOL honestly? So people who ask for driving advice if it's their first time driving or they just started driving a manual shouldn't be driving at all?
Then we would all be doomed sir.

I would vote yes, but it doesn't sound awesome...
 
Edit: Actually no. It would seem out of place, next to Alan Wake and Modern Warfare 2. Just stick to the off topic section.

Your example isn't relative. Besides, I'm speaking specifically about the threads I already have seen on these forums.

This seems like a good solution. Besides, we already have a dedicated relationships forum. Off Topic.
