[Updated With FR]

I'm manning up guys.

I'm creating other options apart from my LTR (read: oneitis) after all the encouragements and reading.

Wish me luck. My date's today. Pulled her off a dating app.

Wish me luck, give me tips!

UPDATE: POST MEET

The meet went well. I am still new to London so she set the place. I set the time. I already lift so I was at gym before the meet.

To the reds who gave me positive comments, thanks. I've read them after my date and it's kind of like reading your horoscope at the end of the day.

Date was 29, from a conservative family and a paralegal. Smart girl.

I'm already insanely high energy when I'm excited, funny, etc. That's the way it works for me, I blast energy at the person in front of me. There was joking, laughter, a bit of serious talk and life plans but I always pulled it into a joke, laughter, or teasing her being playfully mean. Also something I have relearned to do from all of you.

Also I never let anyone know, either from my outfits or my watches, my belongings, that I have worked hard, internationally well travelled, and I have a bit of money to my name (by the grace of the almighty). This always shows in the way I carry myself. Even in ripped clothes and dirt, people can always feel the strength from my character. She def felt it.

Now let's get down to It. My problem as a recovering nice guy was 2 major things. Sexuality, and kino. This whole date today was just practice for kino.

From the minute we met, hand on her shoulder and kiss on the cheek. Sat across her on a small table but we later started walking and I was on it. Obviously not as much and as sexual, but def more than the past. A lot more. Touching, nudges, elbows, high fives, a nice hug at the end, everything. And guess what...toward the end of the date, she was touching me as well, putting her hand on my arm, etc.

For the last year, my LTR and I have been in 2 different countries. She's currently faithful, frequents my family home and is family oriented. It's been 3 months since I physically saw her, which was for a Month, and 9 months no touch before that. IT FELT SO GOOD to be in physical contact with someone interested in you.

It really brings back the male masculinity and inner sexuality, so refreshing. Like new blood coursing through your veins, like new found energy boosting through your body. What a feeling guys, how could I ever have forgotten it? My LTR oneitis made Me forget it! The guy who had at least 3 steady plates before my LTR.

This sub, the writers, the books, the lift, the self confidence...as I'm typing this I'm getting shivers down my spine and goosebumps. All of you have breathed new life into me.

My respects to all of you.

Edit: totally forgot to say that In the past I was never shy to let my plates find out I'm seeing other girls. In fact I would only reveal it in glimpses so they kind of knew but could never prove. Today I did the same, let her know I've got another date in a few days and I'm just looking around.

Her eyes had a sparkle ;)

It's reminding me of my old self, a dngaf mf
