BPD, Love And Relationships
Borderline Personality Disorder affects our relationships, either serious or casual.
We are usually very intense, not everyone's cup of tea but some people truly love us and we are able to show true and devoted love.

Casual Relationships And BP
When we are single, we will possibly have casual encounters or friends with benefits. I don't recommend any of this, though it may happen. We get attached easily, we are attracted to and attract men with low-empatjy and narcissistic traits. We might be signing up for a world of heartbreak. We feel things too deeply and get attached too quickly. However, maybe you can or maybe you can only learn by experience. In my case, it didn't work in my favor at all.

BPD And Relationships
I can, once again, only speak from experience, but really build a friendship with someone before you date them, look for someone empathetic, who really shows that they care about you. Communicate how you feel, don't keep things to yourself. Don't invade each other's time and sometimes space. You have to learn to not send premature texts, jumping into conclusions, etc. When something benign might've happened.
If you're not in therapy, now is the time, if you have the resources. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is the best evidence based approach you can take to manage your triggers.
