Now for the question. Though I don't know much about it, I've been reading and watching stuff on anal play for the last few months and I've brought it up jokingly to her. She seems to not like the idea but I've asked her if its on her "never will I ever" list of things she will never do and she said no. Now a few months have passed and I'm not sure if I should bring it up again. Not really sure on my next course of action. Any advice?

We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on. Posts of the following nature are banned: 1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post. 2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no. 3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture. 4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments. Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on.

I am in no way ready for a serious relationship and I think it would be a real waste of time for both me and the poor girl I would be leading on. When I arrive at the stage in my life where I feel I am mature enough to face the responsibility and consequences I will put a ring on someone. Until then I am happy to have casual relationships and I make that very clear to all the girls. Anyway I wasn't going to go into the details of what I felt for each and every girl since this isn't a blog. I do realize I make it out to be a lot of mindless sex but I jumped over a lot of details just to get the basic storyline down. I'm not writing this as a PUA lesson at all. It was just a post outlining what has happened and perhaps as a bit of encouragement to others who feel they are in a sort of a rut and cannot get out. I might write a more detailed blog about it later if anyone gives a shit. The lifting heavy is such good god damn advice. There's like a level of mental requirement and focus you are required to reach in order to do it. The intensity can be transferred to other things in life. And the confidence that comes with lifting heavy is a rush. Going squatting tomorrow :D | ||

So I'm really interested in a friend of my younger sister, who's 18 whereas I'm like 5 years older(This shouldn't be a problem, right?). I talk to her sometimes, not that often, have her phone number, text sometimes. I have ... no idea what to do if I were to attempt to hmm advance our relationship in some way? The idea of just asking something like "want to go out?" casN ually seems sort of ridiculous to me, but then again yeah... No idea at all what to do about this hrmh~ | ||

The shitty thing is, that's not my intent. My intent is a real relationship. The problem is, all the girls who liked me I did not like (and for good reasons), the girls who I like don't necessarily like me because I'm not in a position (such as some organization) to spend a lot of time with them, and the girls who work out were just interested in banging. Most guys would ask, "Well, what's wrong with that?" Just going around with girls is completely empty and pointless if you actually step back and think about it. Eh, maybe one day I'll find a legit girl again. | ||

Just straight up ask her if shes doing something next weekend etc and ask her if she wants to do something with you. Go to a mall, movie, get some dinner/lunch. It's probably cold where you live atm so I can't really advise going to a park or something but maybe some other winter activity if you have snow? Just think of something you both can do together and then take it from there. If she says shes not busy and she says that sounds like fun or w/e then she's basically given you the ok and you can work on the flirting etc lol. | ||

She seems to be really happy though. Now for the question.

Now a few months have passed and I'm not sure if I should bring it up again. Not really sure on my next course of action. Any advice? Forget about what you see in porno, the actresses have days to prepare and they stretch out their assholes right up until they come onto the scene, all ready and lubed up. Do not think that real life has anything to do with that. This could take more time since she is now aware that you want anal sex. If she didn't have that warning this could have taken less time. It all depends on how comfortable she is about it. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Very possible NSFW content + Show Spoiler + Make your sex right now as kinky as possible. If all you do is missionary and you suddenly drop the anal bomb on her it's probably not gonna work. Taking baby steps towards anal. Not really sure what you're doing right now but you can do any combination of: blindfold, tie up her hands, tickle with feather, ice cubes, fruit, clothespins and then try different positions, maybe get drunk. Also give her massages, foot rubs, really take your time and let her feel safe and that she is much more to you than just for sex. This can take weeks. After you have done all that and your sex is nice and lively you can start to slowly touch her anus. Initiating anal touch would be best while you take showers together. Lather each other up, let her clean you and you clean her. Massage her whole body, taking your time, and then down to her butt cheeks and then just lightly slip a finger between her ass and brush against her asshole in a "I am cleaning you but you are sexy" kind of way. Make it short and light. Do not try to stick your finger in. If she doesn't seem to mind then do it a couple more times, and move onwards down her thigh, legs etc. The point is to not make it a big deal. If you can then makeout or bang in the shower. If she seems upset about anal touch then back off. The key is to slowly introduce anal sensations to her without her even realizing you are doing it to her. Other times would be when you are banging or eating her out, and she starts to get near orgasm, just lightly making circles around her anus and then back off and let her cum. Usually she won't bring it up. Do this a few times when you have sex, this can take weeks. If she starts asking you after sex "hey what were you doing just now to my ass during sex?" just say something like "oh sorry girl, just caught up in the moment u know. why? you didn't like it?" Hopefully she will think about it a little and think it wasn't that bad. If she seems ok with it then go on to the next step. When banging, best is doggy style but I'm sure other positions can be good too, when she is close to cumming, press a lubed finger (spit or pussy juice) on her anus and just slowly press it like a button, gently and firmly, maybe making small circles or other movements. Make her comfortable with this feeling and always be stimulating her vagina or clit in some way so that she will link the two sensations together. Again, try to do this while she is near cumming since most girls won't stop you at that time no matter what you are doing. If later on she is calm and asks you about it, admit to what you were doing but just shrug it off as something you didn't do deliberately. This can also take weeks. If she finally seems comfortable with you touching her, you can try to put something in. This would also be the time to talk to her about anal play, saying how much it turns you on and how you will listen to her and stop when she asks to etc. Buy some lube, I like water based since if it goes thick and dry you can just spit on it. Oil based will get everywhere and takes ages to clean out. Start with something thin and smooth, a toy would be best since your finger is more textured and poop can get caught on your finger and that will most definitely freak her out and can set you back a lot of time. If you use your finger, put a condom over it. Going SLOWLY, don't even try to push too much, just gently massaging the area, the whole time fucking her slowly or licking her, using your hands on her belly, thigh or legs etc. Try to spread her attention as much as possible and not let her focus on her ass. There are two sphincter muscles. The outer one you can see and she can consciously control, and the inner one she cannot control. Usually when it hurts it is the inner one that has not loosened up and it is being forced open. Ask her to push against the toy as if she is passing a bowel movement, this usually loosens the inner sphincter. If she cannot, then do not make a big fuss, just put everything aside and go back to vaginal sex and try another time. Once the toy slips past this part, the rest of it goes in rather easily, so do not rush. One small mistake and you hurting her could mean the end of your anal quest, she loses all the trust and sexual connections you have built up. Slip your toy in a little at a time, letting her get used to the feeling of something being inside her ass. There is no need to go very deep, the aim should be to gently loosen her sphincter muscle by using thicker objects. Again, butt plugs and sex toys are more suitable and safe for this reason. Once you can get in a toy as thick as your dick, you can try getting your dick in. Too much lube is just the right amount of lube. Go slowly, a centimeter at a time, the whole time talking to her, asking if there is any pain, kissing her, caressing her, saying how good it feels, massage her clit, etc etc. If at any point she says to stop, do not pull out like an idiot, pull out very slowly as well. After you are completely inside, take a while for her to get used to it, and then start moving in short thrusts, very slowly. The anal membrane is very thin and tears easily, so go slowly. After a while she should be quite loose and you can go as fast as vaginal sex. Sometimes she can get even more loose, at which point it stops being any fun. It is rather common for there to be a little blood, so don't freak out or anything if you two see any. If you two are squeamish about seeing poop then I would suggest a dark room with an old towel laid down, or even in the bathtub. Don't eat too much the day before. Light some scented candles to cover the smell of ass. And don't put anything that's been in her ass back into her vagina, bacteria and risk of infection. Anyway good luck. Hope that helped. | ||

I've never had real problems with girls before, I'm very outgoing and social, so when I meet a girl this difficult to "court," per se, I usually just move on to another girl I click with better. I guess this explains why I am clueless on how to be with a shy girl. You guys know what it's like though, she is just something else and I can't forget about her. Any tips on how I can get to know her better, whether to simply become her friend, to test the waters and see if there is anything there for me, or even to eventually get into some relationship. I hope it's clear in the post though, I have no intent on 'one night stands' with any girls. That isn't my lifestyle. I hope this post is relevant to the topic since I am asking advice, not just venting. Hopefully it's a win/win for the author/readers and I, you see how this silly little problem is driving me crazy (hopefully inspiring someone out there in his own life), and I will maybe overcome this roadblock in getting any closer to her. | ||

Its a bit sad sometimes, but its also a bit liberating not having any strong feelings for someone. Kinda funny, my younger sister who always slept around is living together with her boyfriend for over a year now. | ||

I'm saying that the starting point is shallow and perhaps at least in many case it's also representative of what the person is expecting out of life at that moment. Not sticking too closely to the apartment analogy, sure there's a chance you'll find a respectable girl by using the shotgun technique and one nighters, but from my admittedly limited experience, the quality ladies, without being prudes, have a tendency of being difficult because they're worth the work and they know it. That being said I'm not judging people who have 1nighters for fun, if they're not looking for long-term, that's fine. But if you limit your "shopping around for personalities" to girls who'll sleep with you, maybe you're missing out. Then again it's possible I'm only saying that because I've been failing at getting close to this one girl =(. Them smart ladies don't necessarily fall for the same BS that works on random club bimbos. =((( | ||

Them smart ladies don't necessarily fall for the same BS that works on random club bimbos. =((( The judgement that people who have one night stands are "ghetto" seeps threw. Everybody has sex, once you accept that you can look past how many sexual partners a woman has. 1-Night stands may be emotionless sex for some men, but that is far from the truth for most woman. Sex is a very emotional act for the lady. So the more emotional a woman is the more likely she is to have multiple partners who she has had strong feeling for. It is my opinion that a highly emotional women are the one's to keep. Most 1-night stands start out as a person trying to get to know another person, not just for sex. The base is far from shallow. Making a judgement call about what a woman/man would want out of a 1-night stand without knowing their emotions and motivation is presumptuous. The shotgun approach however crude is just a way of going threw many woman's personalities to find which one best matches yours. In the end the woman respects you more because she see's that you are interested in her, not her body since you are comparing her to other ladies who have different bodies. It is more respectful to your special lady. 1-night stands are a way of showing how much two people can care for each other while understanding that they may not be the best match for each other, although the possibility of trying to make it work is there. I don't feel like i'm missing out, I've had 1-night stands, I've had relationships that have failed the test of time over the years, and I am currently on the cusp of two new relationships. The hardest part is choosing which girl I like better.. That is where the majority of my stress in dating comes in. There is no BS at a nightclub, all that game people spit, at its core is just a way of following the social norms and accepted suitor behavior. You meet the ladies friends and earn their trust threw stories and small talk that show that you are a good guy at heart, and do not have malicious intentions towards their friend. Then you talk to your desired lady and see how her personality aligns with your own. Kissing, Sex, and all the other physical stuff that goes along with it is just a way of showing the lady you are a gentleman who will not hurt her, and ultimately the choice is up to her. The willingness to take things one step at a time and giving her the ability to walk away at any time also shows how trustworthy and good a man you are. Being judgemental about anything is the exact opposite way of going after a girl. By judging a girl you are telling her that the way her body is making her feel is wrong, and that she should correct it. Not only does that belittle the most attractive part about the fairer sex, it also is unfair to her. You are not accepting her fully for who she is, you just want to have a relationship with her body as you focus on molding her personality into one that suits you. That is the truly shallow way of going after a girl. Again in my opinion the woman who are the keepers are the highly emotional ones. The ones who are in touch and confortable with their emotions. A woman's emotions make up around 90% of their beauty to me. That is why it is so important to let a lady express her emotions in whatever way she feels. By accepting her for who she is you are letting her become completely comfortable with you, to the point where she feels comfortable showing her body to you. A woman's physical beauty is their pride, it is how society judges them, so many woman are very self-conscious with their body. Revealing her body and knowing you will not judge her in any way lets a woman truely become free. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I am a male unkissed virgin, 23 years old. Ever since I hit puberty I’ve been a very quiet and a bit of a anti-social person. Basically I was (and to some extend still am) the term “beta” personified. My looks are average at best, I’m fairly muscular, and I have 0 fashion sense. I spent a lot of my childhood playing games, and I basically spent all of my teenage years playing World of Warcraft with friends from my gymnasium (10 to 12th grade) class. This has led to me not having many friends at all, altho the few friends that I have I am very close to. And I especially have never had any female friends or any experience in talking to women (besides my sister whom I’m also very close to). My first encounter with love was brief during summer 2012, where I sort of fell in love with a woman at my summer job, but I quickly learned she was in fact a lesbian (that’s what I get for having a thing for women with short hair, eh?) so that love didn’t really have time to manifest, and I got over it quickly. Looking back, I think I basically fell in love with her because she was the first woman I’ve met who didn’t seem to mind talking to me, and looked at me for more than 0.1 seconds. (Full beta, or what?) My situation: So in August, I started a new education to become a .NET Software Engineer. In this class, there is this woman whom I sort of sit next to (one empty chair between us) furthest back in the classroom. I found her interesting from the beginning. During the autumn, I tried to find something to at least exchange some words with her every week, even though I had absolutely no idea how to talk to a girl. This went so-so. Anyhow, when the 3rd course started around the beginning of November, we had a group assignment in which she and I decided to form a group, together with 2 others. This is where we added each other on Skype and really started talking to each other. On Skype, she is very easy to talk to. It’s just as easy as talking to one of my closest friends. We can sometimes spend 1-3 hours talking about different stuff, asking each other questions and discussing stuff. In school it was still difficult to talk to her. Not only because I have no clue how to talk to women, but I also realized after a while that she wasn’t really giving good responses for me to work with, to start up a conversation. Her answers were usually short and concise, and during breaks she seemed more interested in doing stuff on her smartphone and/or computer than talking to me. (To this day, I don’t think she has taken any initiative in starting a face-to-face conversation in school, but she does it all the time in Skype chats.) After about a month, in the beginning of December, (on a Thursday evening) she mentions someone she refers to as her “date” she was going to meet that Friday evening. This is when I realized I was in love with her, as I felt the by now familiar feeling that is love, she had also introduced me to a new feeling – extreme jealousy. That weekend was one of my worst days of my life. Today, I haven’t seen her since 21st of December. She is hardworking and talented, but she’s doesn’t come to school very often. My problem: After Week 7 we are going on internships that last til summer. This means I won’t see her again until the end of August. The mere thought of this is tearing me apart from the inside. I think of her ALL the time. Furthermore, the penultimate/next to last day before we head off to our internships is Valentine’s Day here in Sweden. I can’t make my mind up if I’m gonna confess my feelings to her or not. With the Valentine’s Day timing, it almost feels “destined” to do so. But is there even a point to confessing your feelings to someone who already has a “special somebody”? Or is it even someone special? I have absolutely zero clue what a “date” is, or what her definition of the word is. I have no idea how serious they are in their “relationship”. I know they gave each other Christmas presents, that’s about it. Should I do it for the sake of myself, to hear her reject me so I can move on with my life? I’m 95% certain she has no feelings for me. The two scenarios: Don’t confess – I either “hope” her relationship doesn’t work and/or hope that she develops feelings for me over time. Or I dedicate this time where I won’t meet her to get over my feelings for her. Confess – Which approach do I take? The cautious one “I wanted to say that I like you and am interested in you.”, or do I take the full-hearted approach “I have been in love with you for 2 months. I think about you all the time - you are the first thought when I wake up and the last before I fall asleep.” If you read all this, thank you for your time. I tried to keep it short. Any advice would be appreciated, whatever that might be. I can’t really think straight when it comes to this woman. | ||

Her answers were usually short and concise, and during breaks she seemed more interested in doing stuff on her smartphone and/or computer than talking to me. (To this day, I don’t think she has taken any initiative in starting a face-to-face conversation in school, but she does it all the time in Skype chats.) After about a month, in the beginning of December, (on a Thursday evening) she mentions someone she refers to as her “date” she was going to meet that Friday evening. This is when I realized I was in love with her, as I felt the by now familiar feeling that is love, she had also introduced me to a new feeling – extreme jealousy. That weekend was one of my worst days of my life. Today, I haven’t seen her since 21st of December. She is hardworking and talented, but she’s doesn’t come to school very often. My problem: After Week 7 we are going on internships that last til summer. This means I won’t see her again until the end of August. The mere thought of this is tearing me apart from the inside. I think of her ALL the time. Furthermore, the penultimate/next to last day before we head off to our internships is Valentine’s Day here in Sweden. I can’t make my mind up if I’m gonna confess my feelings to her or not. With the Valentine’s Day timing, it almost feels “destined” to do so. But is there even a point to confessing your feelings to someone who already has a “special somebody”? Or is it even someone special? I have absolutely zero clue what a “date” is, or what her definition of the word is. I have no idea how serious they are in their “relationship”. I know they gave each other Christmas presents, that’s about it. Should I do it for the sake of myself, to hear her reject me so I can move on with my life? I’m 95% certain she has no feelings for me. The two scenarios: Don’t confess – I either “hope” her relationship doesn’t work and/or hope that she develops feelings for me over time. Or I dedicate this time where I won’t meet her to get over my feelings for her. Confess – Which approach do I take? The cautious one “I wanted to say that I like you and am interested in you.”, or do I take the full-hearted approach “I have been in love with you for 2 months. I think about you all the time - you are the first thought when I wake up and the last before I fall asleep.” If you read all this, thank you for your time. I tried to keep it short. Any advice would be appreciated, whatever that might be. I can’t really think straight when it comes to this woman. Frankly, I've had problems like you. Now I think you shouldn't go all in with your confessions. Especially if you feel she's not interested in you. There always (well maybe not 100% always) are some signals that a girl likes you more than anyone. If she's dating someone and she didn't give you anything to think about then unfortunately I think you should let her go. I know it's not optimistic scenario, but judging from my own experience, it's pointless to let yourself get hurt over a woman, who's not going to share your feelings. You gained some experience, use it to find someone worth your efforts. | ||
