I had one that lasted for 7 years...not in FFXIV tho.
For some reason, in general, people in FFXIV want to escape reality and mostly are not looking to create meaningful bonds or contacts with long term potential.

IRL i am a 27yo male and i feel like a 60yo male looking for someone to chat for more than one day in a party with people looking for fun lol

It is what it is.
