Dating with teenage Dutch student

I put myself second for too long in my previous relationship. If I ever get into another relationship, it will be with a man who sees me as an equal, not as his slave.

When I see those couples... hand in hand, the love radiating from them. I'm a little jealous, yes. I'd love to be madly in love someday too.

I like to get to know a man a little before I go any further with him. That means we meet up somewhere and have a nice chat and such. And then there's a follow-up date. Or not. I hope you're not put off by the slow pace, but that's just me.

Things are pretty boring at home. I'm sure it could be better. Still, I can't convince him that sex can be quite exciting. It's all still so sweet. So I'm looking for someone outside who can handle me.
