Today I am grateful for maintaining boundaries and bottom lines. I was on a social networking site earlier and this pleasant and intelligent man struck up a conversation with me. All was going well for the first several minutes of the conversation, discussing hobbies and careers. He respected my requested chat parameters that were outlined in my profile. Until he didn't. He started talking about sex and how much difficulty he was having with finding sex with no commitment. He actually came right out and asked me if I had ever had sex without committment after mentioning that he would be traveling to my area for work. I promptly and firmly shut him down, pointing him to other sites that catered to his needs while making it crystal clear that I wasn't interested. After a short period of time, he wished me a good day. I am so proud of myself! Even if he never talks to me again, I stuck to my boundaries and respected myself. Every time I have a successful interaction with a man that doesn't involve acting out, I am becoming stronger and learning something new! 😊
