<human>: I may be very young for this sub-reddit but I am seriously looking for advice. I am almost 18 and I feel as if I have missed valuable experience in relationships and dating.

After about 3 years of being in a depressive state I suddenly one day just... *just felt better*. I'm not really sure why this was until my parents told me that Bi-Polar Disorder may have been passed onto me. Over those 3 years I learned absolutely nothing about relationships or how to make and sustain them.

So I basically have the knowledge of dating from when I was 14 or younger and that knowledge includes saying "want to be my girlfriend/boyfriend" and it just happening like other relationships when you are 14.

So my question essentially is could somebody *please* explain in anyway (long or short) how relationships/dating work. I would give a more specific question but I seriously don't know what to ask. I am very skinny and not very strong, I am almost 6 feet tall and not the most attractive person. Maybe some general question would help such as...

-How do I start a relationship?

-I am a very kind person but what does a healthy relationship include?

-What do girls like about a guy?

-Does appearance matter over personality if I am with the right person?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: I am a young person who missed out on valuable years learning about relationships due to depression (Bi-Polar Disorder, but I am feeling much better) and I am looking for ANY help!
