Hey all,
So, every since my breakup in April, I've actually been really terrified of letting women get close to me. I'm a DV survivor and I hate that it's left a sort of fear of dating stained on me. I want to try to move past this, and I think a casual encounter with someone friendly and kind would be a huge step in my healing process. I'm not asking for a pity fuck, quite the opposite. I'm genuinely looking for someone who finds me attractive and interesting enough to want to engage with me, and help me build up a counter example to what I've been through. I want to move on, I want to find a serious partner in the future, but the last woman I was involved with hurt me pretty deeply. I get that this reads as asking for a rebound, but that's really not what it is. It's not her that I'm not over, it's the trauma and the inherent connection of that relationship to intimacy that I'm really trying to work through. I'm not trying to use someone, I genuinely want to have a good night, get to know someone, and then if we both feel comfortable with it, get intimate.
I just want to make sure that anyone who contacts me understands that I may withdraw consent even after we meet, intimacy has become kind of scary for me and I want to emphasize that if I do withdraw consent, it doesn't mean I don't like you. I'm just really trying to dip my toes back in after a really, really hard situation and hoping to find someone who understands that.
Drop me a message and we can exchange pics and chat for a while, expect that I'll probably want to get a good feel for who you are as a person before we meet.
