WARNING MATURE THEMES TO FOLLOW:please do read if you are not a mature person that can not talk of sex with maturity!
Well from my little time on the internet I have learned to not be offensive when I post, because everyone is not as comfortable talking about sex. But since you asked I will clarify. I never dated any lady. I felt is was a waste of time. If you like me we can chill at the house, shoot the breeze whatever, but I am not taking you on a date or something. I kinda have an unwritten 2-3 week rule. I used to give them 2-3 weeks to give it up (her cookies of course), or I would find another lady. A lady that was closer to my wavelength, in terms of what she wanted out of life... But anyways, I am the president of perverts anonymous (something started at a spring break celebration, lol), I would have to keep up a certain number of gropes per week to feel right (not unwilling of course! I receive no joy from taking something a lady did not give me, I do not want to take it, I want you don't want to give it to me.). Well I used to go the club and never utter a word and grope at least 3 women night. I have routines (or rather safe routines to test the waters for a potential freak) I run on the ladies to see if she would let me feel on her, if she failed, I left mid song, if she passed I went on to systematically move from the butt->tits->love spot. But to be honest most women stopped me before I got to the love spot, but I still have quite a few story to tell, lol. Anyways, I have learned from my own very limited personal experience that its not that most women are not whores, but most women hate to be treated like a whore. So I offer the most BS-less route to fun

Cut the BS out and life is so much funner. But anyways I feel I am getting to graphic and I am getting off-topic as well, so let me return...
Well I met my lady online as was previously stated (internet hook-up are commonly BS-less, thats why I like them), but we met as friend. If you would of told me I would of been dating yuki-sama like 3 years ago, I would of laughed in your face. But a LOT of things all happened at the same time and I realised I wanted a girlfriend. NOne was more profound than something I heard in one of my psychology classes. It was talking about how one has phases to pass, they are either pass or fail. Well I passed all my tests, except for one, I read that to be come a fully actualized man, you need to experience love and raise a family and such. So I went on search for a girlfriend (this is like a year after I met yuki-sama mind you, she was my friend back when I was semi-slutting, we were friends because I gave her tons of info on african american culture and she was interested in it, so we just became friends because of that), I tried a few girls and nothing really worked out, I didn't date them or anything, I really could not stand their personalities. But anyways one day I just started asking yuki-sama about sex and stuff then a couple days later I was like, would you be my girlfriend. She said yea. So we started dating, she told me later she thought it would not work out because of my past , but she liked my voice and my words comforted her. And I am extremely proud to say to this day I have never cheated on yuki-sama our 2 year anniversary is in september and I will make it
And just like in the first quote you posted, I believe that my reason for having my first girlfriend at the age of 22, is much different from the normal reason of not having a girlfriend till that time.
