>>211454150Haha damn, you fucking nailed it.
For me there's an added element of "you already did the LTR devoted boyfriend thing for years, and it was just okay". I'm now an oldhead unc status fella trying to get back into the dating scene. But wondering why I even bother.
Even just a month ago I matched with a girl who I found incredibly attractive. It was almost like divine intervention because I never get matches, let alone ones I'm actually interested in. She made it clear she thought I was attractive, we had great conversations, and went on a few dates. But I ended up blowing it by trying to move too quickly with the sexual side. I guess she was more traditional or whatever... all good, fair enough. But now I'm starting over all over again...
But my point is. I talked to this woman for a month, went on three dates. I lost her by expressing sexual desire. But how long was I supposed to wait? It's hard to even get excited at the prospect of maybe meeting someone... maybe talking for a month or two... to maybe have some sex... to maybe find out you're not really a longterm match... to start it all over again.
