wakingup
Don Juan
I've really enjoyed this forum and wanted to post about what I've been up to and solicit some input.
Quick background, 32 years old, own my own house, 10 years into a career, musician in several bands, and I'd rate myself about an 8. Divorced 6 months ago after 6 year relationship (married barely 2 years). Ex-wife diagnosed with Histrionic Personality Disorder and Bi Polar. Cheated on my our entire 6 year relationship with at least 5 guys, latest one was a two year relationship with her boss.
It's been 15 months since my ex-wife moved out, 6 months since the divorce was final. Been dating several girls casually but now after 3 months, I've focused on one girl. She's let me control the pace of everything, I've been very leading and she just eats it up. I've learned so much from this site about how to be a better man and I feel like I have a great handle on the sexes and how relationships work. One sentiment I've read on here is how when you "wake up" you don't get that "ga-ga" feeling when girls compliment you or go out of their way for you. This girl I'm dating is so nice, cooks for me, picks me up from work when I don't feel like taking the bus, gives me small gifts that are really well-thought gifts (things I really like or mention wanting), and I am appreciative and it feels good, but not like it used to, when I'd start getting the ONEitis feelings.
My question is, what do I look out for as this relationship gets more serious? What are the major changes I can expect from a girl who at this moment is head over heels for me. When do these changes typically occur? What are some typical tests and behavior changes to expect?
