Hello everyone!
Yay last! What makes it even more amazing is that you seem to be in the perfect mindset to calmly see where this goes. That makes me think that after all that talk about holding off on sex we sometimes forget how empowering it may feel to just say no, not now. Go you!
Reddish I think you have two choices here (see,empowering!),either like 314 says you ask for clarification because she at least owes you that, or you just walk away and see if she comes back. I tend to think that the latter is much more telling because actions do speak louder than words, but heck, sometimes you just need a clear answer. Do whatever makes YOU feel better, not her. She has not earned that consideration yet.
Tulip FWB is such a difficult thing to navigate. I quite agree with MH saying that you both need to place little to no value on having the other in your life (perceived value) for it to work. Because you already have the physical attraction and - eek - the emotional connection so are basically one step away from wanting a relationship. Which makes me think what stops you from wanting that relationship should not be just logistics. What makes him not partner material? If you decide you want that FWB thing, just tread carefully. Otherwise it is time to set the standard and get ready to walk away if necessary.
Freaky that top is awesome!
Sassy uh, looks like someone is really back in the game hehe, yay!
Bant I do not think any woman will ditch you for being a gentleman haha. What I avoid is guys with "old fashioned values" because IME that is just code for "I am a bit of a sexist douchebag and I own it". The one and only guy I dated after he used that "old fashioned gentleman" line once rolled over after sex and demanded a sandwich. Like. Really. A SANDWICH. I got up, packed his stuff and added the bread roll, ham and mustard (open lid
) to the bag.
he was a perfect gentleman before SandwichGate, if only a bit OTT. PS: don't ever date a fratboy.
Waving aw that is so cute!
at the image of your 3yo saying "mummy is dating a mad Tinder guy"
314 your point about how a guy reacts to you expressing your expectations made me think a lot about Karmic. I did express mine but in a breezy and cool way so I will definitely make sure to do it again face to face so that I can get a better grasp of who he really is. And regarding the widespread idea that therapy gives you heighten awareness of other's feelings, it did pretty much the opposite for me. The only awareness it developed was my own. I am much less focused on others now and boy it did me the world of good!
Happy dating people!
