Hey everybody, I'm M/34. I've been dating for a while now, pretty actively and somewhat non-stop. I'm thinking about taking a three month break starting January (or more realistically starting now as I'm currently not dating anybody). I think it'll be both dating and sex; and in all honesty I'm a little scared. I've never gone for that long without sex, and it feels like I would lose it if I proceed with this plan. There are things that I wanna do on my own, like do a solo road trip a solo trip to Europe. I'm considering signing up for the Big Brothers program (I'm of Latino descent and I hear there's a shortage of Latinos and African Americans, so it sound very appealing to help that way), and learn salsa. I already started going to Krav Maga, so yeah... plenty of ways to distract myself from sex and dating (I think...).

​

Anyway, I would love to hear from your experience if you've ever done it. For how long did you go? Was it difficult? What did you do to make it easier / more bearable? What did it accomplish for you? How did you feel when you were done? How was it coming back to dating after that?

Tons of questions! haha, share whatever you're comfortable with, I would love to hear from others' experience that might inspire or give me the courage that I need to go through with it.
