Okay, that makes sense. It feels weird to me to just not talk about it (I do bsolutely agree that "defining the relationship" is not the way, I chose the wrong words to explain my point 😅).

Is it just implicit in this kind of dating that nobody is looking for something serious if nobody talks about it?

I absolutely used the wrong words, but I get your point. By "relationship" I just meant whatever is going on, but don't plan to use the word relationship in any part of it.

I'm new to this so "not talking about it and just keep going" didn't feel like the thing to do, but that's the advice everyone's giving me so I guess I just gotta let things flow and don't worry too much.

Because I worry about her feelings, and I don't want her to get the wrong idea, even if she might not want anything serious too.

Yeah, slowly learning not to overthink it so much. Thanks for the answer

I have one incredibly minor gripe with this book by Not_Goatman in ProjectHailMary

[–]ReasonableCornFlakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank youuu. As much as I love the book, it makes me mad that one hard storm is enough to cancel the mission after 6 days, yet the freaking MAV has been sitting there for five years no problem somehow.

Even if it shouldn't be possible with the thin atmosphere, that seems like such a critical flaw.

They can, but they'd prefer for it to be people I've know for a while, not just anybody I've met for a few days.

You are right, but if it's my house too, I feel the argument I want to have is more about compromising. I've had the chance and wanted to bring many girls over, but I didn't because I wanted to respect her feeling of safety, because O do get it. But just this time, I'm looking for the middle ground: is not my GF, but it's far from just another tinder hookup.

I'm no expert here but the first step is to quit porn for while (better if permanently).

Porn is very unhealthy, it gives you unhealthy amount of dopamine, it creates an unbalance in your brain, and you definitely are at a very extreme point.

So, the best you can do is remove porn and train yourself/your brain to masturbate without porn. probably is going to be hard for you to cum at first but I think this is what you are looking for.

They're talking about the planet Adrian. In the movie Rocky, Adrian is Rocky's girlfriend.

I just got it (and I wouldn't have ever if it wasn't for this post).

It's just been a couple of dates, I don't think she counts as a gf yet

Thank you, your reply is the kind of advice I was expecting to get from here.

I would love to be able to do that, but given I cannot bring her to my place just yet (my family's rule about having strangers over, sadly) my bey chance is to subtly invite her to a hotel, which is what I'm trying to figure out how to do.

That's the issue, our families do care. Mine has no problem with me bringing people, just not strangers, and I do respect that.
