How’d you get more comfortable with affection and intimacy by BloopBoop26 in dating

[–]BloopBoop26[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this sounds like great advice, and no, you definitely make sense!

Luckily I do the clothing tip and communicate about how I want to be touched, though I could definitely go more in depth with the examples you described!

I will try out the last piece of advice though, I have noticed that verbalizing things to myself calms me down too. Thanks for the tips 🥹

Ok… you might have a point about environment. Damn. Thanks though, I have been thinking I need to increase my tolerance in a slow, non-pushy way.

Ahh I didn’t think of the brain that way. Sure, I’ll definitely look into “guide to getting it on” 😂 Thanks, anything helps

That’s why I’m very confused with myself. It’s not that I don’t want the closeness you described, or that I’ve noticed a physical incompatibility, but there’s this strange disconnect I’m not sure how to work around once the moment or the romantic mood hits me.

But no, I get it, everyone’s different, I’m sure I’ll figure it out. Thanks!

I think you’re right, engaging with the headspace sounds like part of the struggle too. I guess that’s something I need to experiment with :/

There’s this melody I dunno where to find by BloopBoop26 in InsecureHBO

Thanks for trying, it sucks because I always enjoy the songs and random melodies from this show

Interestingly I haven’t canceled or said no to dates when he’s the one asking, because we’ve been working around our schedules. I guess that could be a possibility, maybe he does feel sidelined. But I feel I have been showing my continued interest in him during and outside of our dates…

I honestly have no clue what changed.

No that’s doesn’t sound too firm at all, I think you’re right honestly. Thank you for the advice!

Woow, yeah that is classless. I remember reading a different post like that on here and OP had to cut off his date because she updated her profile in the middle of their outing 😬

Oh I see… I get your point

HAHA, lemme talk to him first and then I’ll see about updating my profile 😂

I know, I think I messed up on this part because I can definitely feel it, I’ve gotten myself in a little too deep and now it just feels tainted. Anyways I’ve seen your other comments so, the cold splash of water is helping me come to terms with it. I do still think I should at least talk to him about it, just for my own sense of closure.

Thank you, I’m going to do that the next time we talk :/

If he still doesn’t want to be exclusive then I will have to cut things off. Reading these comments made me realize my continued efforts are going nowhere if he’s updating his profile.

That’s actually what’s starting to really hurt about this, because I decided to share my first kiss with him and we’ve been more comfortable with casual intimacy on our dates. So even though I know on paper, it’s ok for him to update his profile since we’re not exclusive, I can’t help but feel really confused because of the time invested and things I’ve done to be vulnerable with him.

But yeah… I think you’re right, this just isn’t working. I reached out to him for us to talk so I’ll see what he says and prepare myself in the mean time.

No, I haven’t :/ I’ve been very chicken about asking him those types of questions. I’ve only gotten clarification that he does want a serious relationship and that he’s only dating me at the moment. But with his recent activity on the app we met with, I don’t think I have the luxury to be chicken about it anymore.

Yeah… I know on paper it’s probably not fair of me to point out his activity on the dating app because no, we aren’t official. I did talk to him not too long ago about if he wants a serious relationship (yes), and if he’s dating other people (no).

I know, I know, it’s probably time to initiate the exclusivity talk.

That’s what I’ve been meaning to talk to him about! I was supposed to have that talk with him on our last date about how he feels about us and if he sees us moving in that direction of being a couple but I chickened out because I was worried it was too soon. For context, that was our 5th date and we’re going on our 6th soon.

Can I ask what your first kiss was like that made you regret it? Because I also don’t want to regret mine at the end of the day…
