When's the time to date?

You'll always know you own intentions behind what you do, In my experience I never really felt fantastic after I've had sex with someone just because I was horny.

When your intent is right and it's because you want a lasting relationship I would say it's the right time to date.

I am currently on a 7 day streak and I am Talking with this girl that I'd like to date.

I see nothing wrong with that. I belive that when you get of the PM your brain will slowly weaken that link to O and strengthen the link between real sex and O.

It's not determined by the streak you have.

Good luck!

 

From a woman’s prospective when you have been at least 90 days PMO free, preferably longer six months to a year and when you are ready to disclose your addiction past or present when the relationship gets serious. Dating in early reboot or sobriety for any addict is rarely a good idea. Your emotions are raw and so you experience rejection more strongly and just the added new relationship stress will put you at high risk for relapse. You need to focus on you and your needs and feelings. When you throw another persons feelings into the mix it’s often hard for addicts to deal with that because they can’t deal with their own. And honesty is paramount. You have to disclose that even if you are clean.

You have time to meet the right person. If you rush things before you get yourself right you will likely end up with the wrong person or in an unhealthy relationship. A new partner will not be helpful in PMO recovery, it will make it harder. Give it time.

 

Great advice ma'am. I totally agree. I really really like this girl but i'm waiting until my nofap streak is better so that i will be ready for a relationship. The problem however is that if i don't make a move by the end of the school year (june) then i would have to wait the whole summer and I don't want to lose her. So do you recommend asking her out close to the end of the year when i'm more recovered
