Aight, long post but your boy could use some extra input as I'm mulling some shyt over.
I'm at a crossroads...I've started seeing one of the women I was messing with exclusively after ~3 months of dating, and I'm conflicted because I honestly
didn't expect the strong connection being built.
On the one hand, I really enjoy my time with her and find our personalities balance really well. She's shown she's capable of being submissive...if we argue and she's in the wrong, she apologizes really quickly. She hears me out when we disagree, and has been open about me being the 1st person who's been able/willing to call her out on BS as a man because of how I communicate, and my life being together enough to hear me out.
The sex is phenomenal, she offers to cook for me, and offers help if I even passingly mention a problem. She also has a soft, emotional side despite being a direct communicator, which I find really attractive. Overall, I'm really feelin her and our dynamic on a personal level.
On the other hand, I have a couple of hang-ups...
1. She's not black - she's half Asian half white. She spent her pre-middle school life in Asia and has lived in CA since she's been in the States. As I've gotten older, I'd envisioned myself w/ a black woman, and this is throwing me for a loop.
I'm not sure if I want kids yet, but I know having grandkids who are mostly white would honestly ether my entire existence. The thought of being that cliche makes me sick. I also just don't like the idea of being another successful black man "dating out". She grew up poor, so I'm not disconnected with her in the same way I would be if she grew up privileged. This is connected to...
2. She's in her 30s...turning 32 in July. If I have kids, I want multiple, which means we'd need to fast track shyt. I really don't like that idea.
3. She does party drugs (molly, LSD) and is into the EDM/rave scene. I've met her party "crew" and heard about how she is when she's high (no red flags). I trust her but I'm not into that scene at all, and I don't the impression she's willing to dip out of it just yet. She was upfront with me that when we met, she was just looking to fukk, so the shyt makes me a little residually uncomfortable. Potential GF going to raves & doing drugs w/ me not in sight.
#1 is by far the biggest hang-up, honestly, and the only reason I would end shyt right now. All told I'm really feelin her, but I don't know how where being intentional vs. over-thinking shyt begins or ends. It's only been 3 months that we've been dating.
Every time I imagine ending things because this doesn't fit my life picture, I don't know the words to say because I know, based off our vibe/connection, she'll know it's bullshyt if I'm not transparent on the reason. On the other hand, dropping #1 as the reason would feel really, really shytty.
Ultimately, I don't want to waste her time...but I'm really not sure if I'm wasting her time yet.
What do yall think?
