Hi. I'm Samantha, or Sam is fine. Sorry if this is a lot to read. I'm completely new to this community and to this subreddit (and very anxious as well). Admittedly, it's taking a lot of courage for me to simply write this post. I'd like a more traditional relationship, preferably longer term, but with someone experienced who can guide me through it and help me explore this side of myself better. I live in Connecticut. Thinking maybe about starting with something online and then possibly transitioning to in person?

Important things to know: - age gaps don't bother me, but 25 is my cut off, at least while I'm 18 turning 19 in a few months. - I don't have a lot of relationship experience or intimacy experience. I need whoever I'm with to be incredibly patient with me and my anxiety. - I have some body image issues that may need reassurance at times. I want to gain more confidence in myself. Maybe someone can help? :3

Now that I've established all that wonderful stuff - I am very open minded to a lot of kinks and trying different things, as long as I trust the person I'm with. It may take my anxiety a minute to lessen, but I always feel that I'm open to trying a lot of things at least once, to see how I feel. I'm not sure exactly what all my kinks are yet, but I know I'm submissive and have a praise kink. I do have a list of limits and a list of things I think I could be alright with trying, but I'd prefer to share that more directly with someone instead of here.

If you happen to have an accent, I may melt in a puddle at your feet. I realized recently that German accents make me incredibly weak, but I like many others too.

A brief about me - I like to read, listen to a lot of different music (including Taylor Swift, just to warn you), collect vinyls and cds, draw and write occasionally and walk on the beach. I also have a cat named Pixie.

Hopefully I've said enough and not too much. Just curious if there will be any response to this.
