Let me get past the 'I wish I had heard about this years ago', and just say that I am having fun applying the principles and tactics I see on here. I am doing things I would never have thought of in earlier times. Examples:
- I am striking up conversations with women I find attractive where I may encounter them. Like in a doctor's office waiting room. Had a lovely exchange today with a pretty lady about 30 years my junior. I called her attention to some art works in the room and asked her would she pay the asking price. I was amazed that she responded and then we went on for about ten minutes until she was called into the doctor.
- I was waiting in an airport recently and found an excuse to talk to a young woman sitting next to me. We probably went on for 15 minutes about this and that. She lived in another city, so no continuation. This is new to me.
- I am practicing casual touching where I can.
- Had lunch with a lady I met on a dating site. We talked for probably over an hour after we finished eating. Then we adjourned to see her sports car in the parking lot. We sat in the car and started kissing and making out like teenagers. We have talked on the phone since...she wants to know if I am interested in tantric sex...naturally I said yes and we are planning to get together.

Well, just wanted to say thanks to the folks putting this site together.

Already? wow

how long have you been doing this for. i mean all i can get so far is numbers not even a day 2. Don't you ever get approach anxiety?

Well, I had high hopes for the lady with the sports car I described earlier. But after several emails and phone conversations I broke it off. So why give up a 'sure thing'? Frankly she was so overly aggressive that I felt uneasy about meeting her again. On the phone she described all the preparations she was making for us: lingerie, manicured pubic area, details of the tantric sex, all her toys, etc. etc. Her manner became coarse to the point of being vulgar. Plus she told me in detail and showed me photos of her collection of pistols. May be hard to understand, but I became uncomfortable about her. Caution being the better part of valor, you know.

Will try again. Libido is not yet defunct!

Cheers.

I have had another promising 1st date with someone from an online dating site. Pretty blond with a nice figure. I am learning as I go, but got to try out various tips I have seen here. Like the ‘triangular gaze’, moving from eye to eye to lips to eye to…. Eventually I did get to sit next to her in our restaurant booth and put my arm around her, and we exchanged some light kisses and I stroked her face. Did a lot of hand touching, she was responsive. I validated her as often as I could, noting that she was pretty, loved her hair, etc. (which is true, I am not good at lying). Talked frankly about our mutual relationship goals (which are not congruent) and got around to discussing forms of erotica. Didn't get her phone number, need to remember to do that. She was probably a bit older than her listed age, but not markedly so. Plainly asked her to invite me to dinner at her house; she had an excuse re a trip she planned to take, but I think the possibility is still there. Good kiss goodbye in the parking lot.
