I'm not sure if this post is in the spirit of TRP, posting a personal situation and all, and though I've been following TRP for a couple of years I really am still a novice. I'm a 37 y/o white male who has just been released from state prison about 2 months ago. I did 30 months this time but have doing life on the installment plan. I've been locked up about 7 of the past 10 years. I broke my 6+ year dry streak on Thanksgiving night with a chick I've been working on for about a month. She's just as fucked up as I am (reformed addict, done a bit of jail time) and I know I should be running for the hills but damn is it nice to get laid. She's 10 years younger than I am. So I've had to game and chase to get her panties off and to be honest I wasn't sure it was gonna happen. My situation is fucked up right now (little money, little work, 3/4 house so taking her back to my place is out of the question). She's in the exact situation as me. She plays some real blatant hot and cold type shit but I managed to power through it. I'm what I think is an alpha/beta mix so I feel like I can't do either right. My dude who is a walking TRP dispenser says quiet Alpha. I'm a little short, 5'8" and a little thin on the top of the head but in great shape, gym 5 days a week, cycling on test, and intelligent enough to test into mensa. But I'm a recovering addict and so broke it's past ridiculous to the point of just being sad. So the pussy is good but I know, intellectually at least, better than to chase it. But I do anyways. I'm pretty sure she's fucking other dudes even though she says she's not. It's a pain in the ass to do all the traveling required to see her. Like, what the fuck is wrong with me that I can't bring myself to display some indifference to make her chase? I know that's how it's supposed to go. Hopefully this will post, comment or pm. A brother is in need of some solid words of advice so let me have it.
