Topic: I have a need for advice

Specifically advice in the realm of relationships. I'm coming to realize that my understanding of such is slim to the point of being a hindrance. My insecurities, inexperience, and lack of knowledge are eventually going to cause problems for me and I've few options for advice (the parents are rather far away now and I'm not really comfortable talking to them about such things anyway). I'm wondering if I might prevail upon one of the wiser heads in the EC community to discuss such matters with me from time to time and offer advice/knowledge/whathaveyou.

At this point, I'm not too certain where the line between reason and insecurity is; my perspective on what a healthy relationship is is very skewed as most of the examples I've had throughout my life have not been such. I know this is a lot to ask, but I'm not too certain where else to turn. What I'm looking for specifically is someone I can hit up on AIM/IRC/MSN/insertmessengerhere now and then to discuss the maunderings of my addled brain. The goal is to dispel insecurities, doubts, foolishness, and ignorance.

The only way to do this is through experience. No amount of talking will help as much as simply biting the bullet.

It's not something people hear about.

Stick your penis in her vagina.

...stop thinking about it, get off the internet, and go do something productive.

The School of Hard Knocks is certainly the best teacher, but it's good to learn some things vicariously as well. At the very least, it offers some small ability to forsee problems or at least some modicum of knowledge in how to deal with them when they come. This is the sort of thing I'm after.

Obviously simply discussing matters with someone isn't going to meet my goal, it's intended to be an aid along the way.

As for Alidane's advice: doing that whenever possible, but it doesn't help much with the other 90% of the relationship. Nothing is down in the dumps at this point, I've just realized that I know next to nothing about being in a relationship and I'm looking for knowledge.

Trust is key. If there is no trust, there can't be much else.

But really, you need to get out there and experiance it for yourself to know what YOU want in a relationship. Fuck the norms, man, look for what you want, not what everyone else wants.

Relationships are of two kinds:

1. Blowing smoke up some girl's ass so she will give you head
2. Finding a girl similar to you that you can get along well with

So by deductive reasoning, make yourself a better person so you get along well with excellent girls... Then blow smoke up their asses.

What the fuck is the problem?

Ask her if she'll suck your dick. If she does, you're in good shape.
