    Another post:

    Every time I relapse my brain thinks of either sex or relationships, and I know they're not the same. I really don't want to be in a relationship just for sex I feel like that'd be bad for me at this time during recovery. I guess I'm going hardmode then? Because I don't know when I'll get a gf or if I'll get one, and I really don't want to rely on that.
    Due to PMO all I can think about is that part of relationships, but I know that doesn't happen until much later, but another part of me really wants the intimacy of a relationship. Which again, probably doesn't come until much later.

    Again, I know next to nothing about relationships, Thanks a whole lot PMO Is there anywhere I can learn about dating in general. Not gonna ask anyone close to me. I've tried when I was struggling but none of them were helpful.

    Hey man I wouldn't stress too much about getting into a relationship. If you rush into it you may end up with the wrong girl which is a disaster. Work on yourself and it'll all happen naturally (probably when you least expect it). If you work on yourself and wait for the right girl it will be a lot more intimate. You will love her for her and she will love you for you. She'll love you for being yourself and that level of intimacy is not found when you rush into the nearest relationship.

    I'm no expert but if you have any questions feel free to ask me. Also, may I ask how old you are?

    I'm 24, but I really don't act my age at all, and thanks. Yeah, natural is probably best. I've tried forcing relationships before. It never worked.
