If I ever think about it, it's in third person, it's never my POV. But I honestly don't think about it that much. June 01, 2023 at 12:29AM

Okay ladies, I’m trying to figure out if I did anything wrong or if I can improve my game. Me: 25 W M 6ft 180 I’ve tried my hand at cougar hunting and have had mixed results. 3 this week and nothing to show for it. First was at the bar Friday night watching the Miami Heat game 6 and had a beautiful older woman come up and start talking to me, we chatted for a minute, she asked ME for my number and then went on her way. Never got a text back. Second was that same night at the hardrock casino and this beautiful woman in her 50s was sitting by herself (it’s 3am) playing slots. glances at me and smiles. I go up to talk with her and we start chatting about the games and we start playing slots together. We spent the next hour or so talking about south Florida and ourselves, she showed me pictures of stuff from her phone, gave me advice on slots, and moved to different machines together to play. She kept saying she was cold and then wanted to go outside to warm up I offered to go with her a...

I (26f) have been seeing a new guy and things have been going well. Recently he’s mentioned that he’s into sharing me with other men when it comes to sex. This is totally new to me and makes a bit uncomfortable as we both had expressed we were looking for a relationship. He’s assured me that it is just something he likes and is not a non-negotiable but every time things start to get sexual he makes some kind of comment about it. Is this something I should look to move on over? It’s very confusing as every other aspect has been going well and I’m unsure if I can handle someone who would be constantly trying to persuade me to try it.

Yep same! When I was 13, I had this crush on this person who I think identified as a girl. I really really liked them and imagined myself with them; spending time together, practicing our hobbies together (we both liked to draw and read manga). When the thought of sex potentially being on the table came to mind, I felt quite uncomfortable. I don't relate to you in the sense of romantic experience as you seem more on the aro spec while I'm allo romantic but for sexual instances I do relate. Aesthetics isn't what draws me to a person. I acknowledge people look nice but I don't feel any sort of pull to get into a relationship with someone and do romantic things with them because they're pretty or handsome. A factor for me to want those things (romantic stuff like holding hands, kissing and cuddling) is knowing about them, surface-level wise: are they nice, are they funny in my standards, what are their hobbies and interests.. stuff like that! Idk if that's an emo...
