I started to develop kind of a system. Date a bunch of people casually, tell 'em about the tickling thing early rather than the bullshit of finding someone, dating them for a long time, trying to find "the right time" and getting all fucking nervous about losing someone because I must be the weirdest person on the planet if I like tickling. Typically, I would tell the person after like 3 dates if I thought he had potential. If his response was negative, at least I found out before we both got hurt.
That said, a lot of guys seemed to have a hard time dealing with the community aspect of this whole thing; didn't want me talking to or visiting friends I'd made on here. Typical young, insecure guy bullshit. Even some of the ones that are part of this community themselves.
Basically, I realized I could find someone that was everything I wanted in a guy and was also into tickling and I stopped settling.
But people expect everything to be easily attainable. Most people who have found someone through here had to (or continue to have to) deal with a long distance relationship until they can figure shit out to be closer to one another. For others, it's taken maybe decades of looking and trying.
You're young. Don't put so much pressure on finding some unattainable fantasy girl you've created in your mind who will be the only one to accept you. Instead, you should date a bunch of people and just be like "Yeah, I like tickling. It's fun," and have awesome ticklesex with lots of people cuz that's what you're supposed to do in you're 20s.
It's not something to be ashamed of and everyone gets rejected (usually a lot) in life. It's not the end of the world. Do you, boo-boo.
