In my 23 years old, and have never had a girlfriend.

In the 2 years since I've been into pickup, I;ve had physical and emotional connections with women that mimic those it LTRs, but never someone to call my girlfriend.

There is this girl I've been dating of and on for 6 months. She is the only girl I've seen this long without having sex with yet. We like... talk and stuff.

Anyway, she's away on business for a whole month. but we talked about being a "couple" when she gets back.

I'm really nervous about what could be my first LTR. I'm just wondering if any of you guys have been in this position, and can help me with advice on what to expect being in a LTR

its a commitment. be prepared for fights, but realize that they get resolved and your first fight is no reason to seperate. i suggest keeping things slow sexually, because once you reach sex in an LTR, thats the last of the progression, its all constant from that point on. not that its bad, but the slower you take it, the longer that beginning-of-relationship excitement lasts. the rest you'll pick up as you go along, but dont let it stress you out. I'm sure once your with her, you'll be able to relax more anyway.

good luck man, I wish you the best of luck

noted, it been killer, but i can definitely feel us holding back. it should make things intense later down the road.

also, I might have to deal with a crazy ex-boyfriend. I know who he is, but unfortunately I've never met him and he knows more about me then I do him. an example of his craziness: he hacked into her myspace and pretended to be her and start a fight between us. anyone have advice on what to do if we meet face to face?

Punch him in the face!

j/k, first you have to clear things with her. I don`t get part: There is a missing link here. You talk and stuff??? For 6 months? This sounds to me more like LJBF stuff. When she comes back, if you want LTR you must kiss close, or even better f close her a.s.a.p.. Girls also have sexual needs, just like we do and if you think she didn`t have sex in 6 months then then, my friend, you are very optimistic human being.

Anyway, close her fast, either you will loose her. When you do that, try to meet her ex boyfriend and when you do, explain to him, she is now with you and he has no place in her life any more. Tell him to forget her and stop trying any contact with her. Say it in a calm but totally serious way. Its important that your body language is totally alpha. Chest out, belly in, feet spread apart, preasure him with a deep, deads serious eye contact, try to talk with strong, masculine voice but don`t scream, no need for that.

It will be more then enough for a guy who must hack girls myspace to pick u fight between her and you. This guy is pathetic coward, he won`t give you trouble.

About the "talking and stuff".

That was a weak attempt to put some humor in the situation.

Really, we have been intimate, just no f-close. I'm not worried at all about the friendzone. we're past that.

thanks for the help guys!
