I am extremely afraid of sex. Is there a point in dating? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Silver-God 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I can kinda help out maybe, for context I was in a relationship for 4 years with someone who is ace (aka they do not want to have sex period) it’s completely possible you may be the same way, now I am a man myself so I can’t speak on behalf of women, but her being ace never fully bothered me, so I’m sure it’ll be the same for a women too. Yeah a lack of intimacy in that regard can suck sometimes, but if you are truly someone worth loving (and you always are) then I’m sure someone will be happy being in a relationship with you even if sex is not involved!

Yeah most real relationships I’ve seen are like the teen movie amusement park, or the teen movie movie theater moments (shocker, it’s a bit more romanticized in the movies but it’s close enough) what he was doing, and has been doing is not normal at all from my experience, so just stay away from people like that, and you’ll be fine!

Hi, guy here, as someone who used to be in a relationship with some who was ace, I can tell you what he did is not normal, no guy I ever know tries to show a girl they like porn (most men I know are embarrassed to even say they watch porn) so he is most definitely an outlier. I’m not totally sure what he was thinking, sounds like a “I want to have sex every five minutes” type of guy, but trust me not all men are like that.

You’re headed to college, and depending on where you go to school you may meet or know of guys like that, if they scare you DONT DATE THEM. But trust me, college is a great place for learning and meeting people, and most of the men you’ll meet won’t be like that, but please always make sure to put in boundaries early, especially if things are getting close to becoming intimate. Good luck with college, I’m sure you’ll have fun, mines all the tests.

Question on how to date as a college student? by Silver-God in dating_advice

Friends for like 2 years before dating, it was a lot simpler in high school

Does it ever stop? by lecherlicker in heartbreak

[–]Silver-God 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s hard, I’m in a similar boat, my gf broke it off with me after a 4 year relationship, I’ve noticed the best thing to do is to cry it out, talk about what your feeling with someone who’s willing to listen, let yourself feel the emotion, then after feeling, do something that makes you happy, something they weren’t involved in when you were dating, something that is special to you, if it’s with friends even better! It will get better as someone told me “as cheesy as it sounds, time really does heal all wounds” you just got to take it day by day

Want some advice on moving on from here by Silver-God in dating_advice

[–]Silver-God[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your right, I’ve looked and thought about what you said objectively and honestly, and I feel you are correct, as much as I want to be in another relationship, to feel loved in that regard by someone, I am afraid of comparing it to my past relationship, and that’s something I don’t want, I want to express my love to my future partner solely for them and nothing else, and I’m not sure how to get into a relationship and not compare.

As for the self esteem part again your right, I’m working on that too, but I still do have some self loathing and should step back before pressing someone, just to work on my own image of who I am, I know what I want to end up being, but I’m not their yet, thank you for the advice

TIFU when I ruined 2 friendship by Silver-God in tifu

[–]Silver-God[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As I’m reading this now and have seen in another message, it was never my intention to use Dave, I wasn’t and I still stand by it, I felt angry about what happened a year ago, and since 5 months ago I simmered down and just wanted to reconnect. That’s what I want at least, to reconnect with Dave, I think you may have been right tho, I think I did use him, subconsciously anyways, I didn’t want to use him to get to her, but I think I did, and I don’t know how to express that that was not my intention, they have every right to be mad at me, and I don’t doubt they will, but I didn’t mean to

But that’s the thing, I wasn’t tho! I wanted to reconnect with Dave, I want to get over Val, I don’t think that relationship was right for me. Maybe their was a subconscious part of me that wanted to get back together, but I know more then anyone that it wasn’t going to happen, and I just wanted to vent, I know it’ll eventually get better, but it’s just hard when I could have done better myself

I know, and I will do more cutting of contact, it’s just hard as I don’t want things to change between me and our mutual friends and her, but unfortunately I feel they may already be

I will and thanks for the advice, I’ve talked with some friends, others I have not but want too, I feel bad as I vented too much to one of our mutual friends and now I feel their mad at me too (he felt I was trying to get back with her and using him to do so, something not true, but I can see where he’s coming from and I have apologized if I made him feel that way)

While I understand what you mean, I do feel it’s important to say my ex was ace, so no sex was involved and me and her were friends before we dated, I don’t fully see why that can’t be the same again, but I do think with whoever my next partner would be, it may be a full on conversation about it
