Too Old.

@hiddensquid Thank you 😊

@jay71 Thank you 😊.

@BigGyro09 That's great advice

I met online* is what I meant to say, sorry about that. But I'm glad this advice helps

@worryywart This feeling of being behind never goes away for me and it's really frustrating. On the same side though, there's a ton of people like us that have just never had it happen before and are still waiting. I just try not to think about it, which is next to impossible when OCD exists

@worryywart I get that completely. It's a mixture of both for me. There's someone I know I have a crush on but I also know for a fact I'm not ready for relationships. I also don't know when that will change. As for meeting people online, yes, you definitely do have to be more careful when meeting others online, but there are also venues that should be present that has the main focus of socializing.

@worryywart And yeah I'm also glad I wasn't in a serious relationship back then because I know I would have messed that up really badly, even if it would have been experience. I think me not having the experience but the awareness is better for me

@worryywart Yeah it just seems disingenuous to bring my issues into other people's lives. Won't do any good and now I'm making it someone else's problem when I don't need to. I guess we should take a lot of positivity and gratitude in the fact that we want to go about this responsibly and not just jump into scenarios with other people just for the sake of it. They do say that you have to love yourself A LOT. To that I say, we are trying to do that. I'm trying to read this gratitude list that I have and I've been trying to distance myself from bad habits, judgement, and mindlessness. I just won't know when that time will come, and frankly, I don't want to keep focusing on it, even if I can't help it. Crushes and anything related to sexuality is either unfamiliar to me or it makes me uncomfortable to some degree. It's just something I never felt confident with at all. I'm sure being honest with your future partner about OCD is something that is possible as long as they are caring and accepting of your boundaries and struggle with it. Dating apps I personally don't see a positive in, but that's just my opinion.

@Anonymous Thanks. Wow lol

@Anonymous~ Everything happens when it’s supposed to. Vera Wang didn’t even design her first dress until her 40s and Tolkien didn’t publish the lord of the rings until his early 60s! Everything you want in life is waiting for you and will be there, when you are ready for it. Have kindness for yourself❤️❤️❤️

@Anonymous Thank you 🙏🏻

@Dawn88 Thanks 😊

@ILikeMyself Thank you. 😊I can’t because I’m Catholic. That’s actually one of my other major ocd concerns. scrupulously.
