I wonder what the relationship would look like if the man next to me was a completely different "newbie" in these matters? Without some "old" experience, without what I call my "stock of stories"? Would it be easy or difficult for him? It seems to me that for someone it can be a little scary - to date a girl who has already had something in the past, who knows what falls and rises are, who can be a little more "seasoned". And he does not have a drop of such experience - and not because he did not want to, but it just happened that way.
I understand that sometimes this "experience" in a guy's head can sound like a challenge. As if he needs to compete to prove that he is no worse, even if he is just different. But that is not the point. It is important to have a person next to you who simply accepts you with all your baggage, without claims and comparisons. Without the need to prove anything or hide a part of yourself. 😌
Maybe my experience is even a gift? After all, it is not about "outdoing" someone, but about the opportunity to share, learn and grow together. And you know, this does not mean that a man without experience is someone weak or immature. No, it is just a different path. And if he is ready to open up, understand, not be afraid - this is already a huge step. 🚶♂️🚶♀️
Sometimes it seems to me that it is in such couples that something real is born - when one learns from the other, and the second is not afraid to be himself. When there is no fear of showing vulnerability, when you can laugh together at mistakes and rejoice in small victories. I like to think that experience is not something that divides people, but something that can unite them. 💫
And I often ask myself - how would I feel next to such a person? With someone who has few life stories, but a huge desire to move forward? It seems to me that this is the whole point: not how much was behind the shoulders, but how much there is a desire to go together. With someone who may be for the first time in these feelings, in this relationship, but sincerely and with an open heart. ❤️
This is the thought I have now. Time is not a measure, and experience is not a race. The main thing is to be there, accept and move on, without looking back. Because sometimes the most beautiful stories begin exactly where one of the two is a "newbie". What do you think? Will you share? 😉
