...So Progress has been made I figure!
I was having a bit of an issue with my "Hot Boy Therapy" guy, he kept on asking me "Is she hot?" when I was talking about my friends. Not being shy or one to hold back, I grit my teeth the first time it happened. Grit my teeth the 2nd time it happened, and then the third time it happened I let myself cool down a bit first and then had a wee chat with him.
Told him "I don't want a relationship right now because I want fuck all to do with other people's feelings. Right now you're "A good time" which is great, but I also don't really want to feel as though I am here to introduce you to other people to bang." and let him know that I'd appreciate it if he could please not ask me if the other women I associate with are hot. I don't know his tastes, they definitely aren't my tastes since my tastes don't swing that way, and well its a bit callous.
I'm super happy though that I was able to bring up an issue of "feelings" to someone with whom "Feelings" are not involved, and get it resolved.
He acknowledge it, apologized for coming across like a dick and didn't go "omg feelings *runs away*" so I might actually get to have more "good times" with him.
Phew! Got across a pretty intimidating hurdle. This whole "Casual" thing might be something I can deal with if I can hold onto and keep respect going on.
:D
(I'm pretty stoked... being gunshy of emotions myself, it wasn't exactly easy to bring the subject up)
Yay!
