Dating : Feels hopeless
So after 6 months of searching I finally went on a date and it went extremely well. We got drinks, ate dinner and went to the movies. Since then we’ve been on two more with her and they’ve all been amazing. We confessed to liking one another a good deal and have been talking about what we want from a relationship. So we ended up at my place the other night and I decided to reveal some of my past and told her I had been in an open relationship. After that night she’s completely shifted and told me she needs time to think about things because she’s afraid I will cheat. I’ve reassured her multiple times that an open relationship is not something that I want again and that I’ve been in mostly monogamous relationships and faithfully but she still seems put off. I can already see she’s probably going to bail and I’m just so upset.
Honestly, if she bails on you because you’ve been in an open relationship in the past she’s basically just really immature and/or close minded and you have to ask yourself if you’d want to be with someone who’s like that.
After all an open relationship has nothing to do with being a cheater and if she can’t see past that… I wouldn’t want to be with someone who’s that close minded.
But anyway, just give her some time to process it and maybe she’ll come around. If not, honestly, it’s her loss, not yours. Even if it hurts now I’m sure you’ll find someone who’s open and won’t judge you (honestly, there’s nothing here to judge you for anyway).
Give her mind blowing sex she won’t be able to give up so quickly
