Dating and Hard Mode?

    Hi all,

    I started my 90 day hard mode reboot 6 days ago, and just now matched with someone on Tinder. I started chatting with this girl, but I suffer from PIED and really want to have normal, healthy relationships. Is it worth trying to meet anyone or do I need to push forward with the challenge alone if I want to recover? What do you all think?
     
  2. Tinder and hardmode don't go well together. The general profile of guys on there have an inclination towards sex so I think girls have a general expectation it will come up within a few weeks at latest. I wouldnt try to force a relationship so soon in if 90 day HM is your goal.
     
  3. Why not meet her for a drink? If you like each other go on a few dates, see what happens. If anything, having real female contact should be a good thing.

    If she wants sex so quickly she's probably not the kind of girl you might want to be in a relationship with, especially not at this stage in your journey.

    It's not a good idea to date at all during hard mode unless you are already in a relationship. Get yourself healed then get back out there. Get off tinder.

  5. I'm gonna echo this statement.
    @Code Hero I would recommend asking yourself why you feel you need a 90 day hardmode reboot. A lot of emotions and unbalance can be part of just the reboot itself, adding in a relationship wildcard is a recipe for failure. Not sure what youre looking for in a relationship, but if your starting out, in the mist of the serious issues that are what brought you to NoFap, you may be doing both of you a disservice because youre not being you.

    Conversely, you matched with this girl and she may be an opportunity you don't want to miss. I'd recommend to change your goal to 30 day hardmode reboot (reaching milestones can generate amazing confidence) and of course take it slow. Also, obviously theres a chance it won't work out so prepare mentally.

    I've personally attempted the hardmode reboot, then got back into dating too soon and screwed up royally. Did a 30 day reboot recently and now hopefully didnt jump back into the dating game too quickly, while working on my goal to eliminate porn completely.
