cj1st Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Ive been out of a long term relationship of 12 years for about 6 months now. My problem is that I feel very out of practice when it comes to progressing a relationship to a 'dating' one. I made the mistake of infidelity when I was young, and have since spent about ten years avoiding any form of flirtatious behavior. I now find it hard to recognise when i am being flirted with, and feel uneasy flirting myself. I aren't a 'pick up at the disco' type of guy, and the ladies I am interested in, are either friends, or acquaintances. I feel comfortable chatting and 'self-disclosing' with them, but am having trouble showing the 'sexual' (for want of a better word) side of myself. Link to post Share on other sites
Ally Boo Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 This should all come natrual as "expressing yourself" once you feel better about yourself. Forgive yourself for your infedility and for the mistakes of the past. There is no use beating yourself up about it, you've learned your lesson, now move on. You are a good person and once you accept that and realize that, you'll find a really nice lady, take things slow by just enjoying your time with each other, and seeing where things go from there. It's not a hat trick act that you need to know, it's just about getting to know each other. You'll do fine! Link to post Share on other sites
