Well, I must admit that I love this thread! It just drew me in and I couldn’t stop reading. You’ve done a good job, dfude… she is definitely giving you major signals, and that signifies that she wants to move on. She obviously thinks your inexperience is endearing, so if you move at your own pace no matter how nervous you might feel, that’s the way to go.
Give us updates when you can… you rock! 
Damn, Skewbald, it’s great to hear something working out well (even if embarassing at times)! More power to you… and her!
Skewbald this is just the sweetest thread I’ve read in ages. Good luck mate
[bold]Skewbald[/bold], You are doing great. Much better than I would have done (and have done) in the same situation. She is defininately into you.
So, this is what I missed by being chicken.
Fortune favors the bold.
Enjoy Skewbald.
Keep writing.
Skewbald: This is just all too cool! You write beautifully, and have made me fall in love with your girl, too.
Now, I quoted Giraffe for a reason. Heed Giraffe’s counsel! Once, long ago and oh so far away, I found myself in a similar situation. The girl was giving me all sorts of signs that she wanted to move along with things. I was too much in love and too young (15)to understand. The bottom line is that I lost her because of moving too slowly.
Once I thought I was the only guy fool enough to have lost a girl for that reason, but I have since met a few other guys who will admit to having pulled the same stunt. If you ever lose a girl because you were too much in love and moved too slowly, you don’t forget it. Every time I see or hear a reference to Kipling’s poem, The Ladies , the line “I learned about women from her” makes Barbara pop into my head.
Obviously, every couple, every person, and every situation is unique. You are doing great so far. As others have pointed out, it’s obvious that she likes the way you are doing things. I suspect that sooner rather than later she will begin to want your relationship to advance to another level, if only in small increments. Don’t drag yo’ feet too much, Son!
“Take heed from my lot, which I know you will not
And learn about women from me!”~~~~Rudyard Kipling
Keep up the good work, and keep us updated, please. Wishing you continued good Luck!
Oh Skewbald, reading this is making me go all mushy…
We interrupt this Penthouse forum for a public service announcement:
Abstinence is the only way to ensure against pregnancy and STDs.
On the more serious side, what have you thought about where you want this relationship to go? I’m not suggesting that you set some plans in stone, and then get bent out of shape if every step along the schedule doesn’t get met perfectly. But you might not want to adopt a “whatever happens, happens” approach either.
This girl is sending some pretty strong signs. Where do you see this relationship going? Just suggesting you think about this type of thing before you end up there. And, as someone suggested, there is such a thing as being too passive.
Another thing, let’s say you guys get tight, and you happen to mention this neat thing called the SDMB. She checks it out, and reads this thread. Just wondering what you think her reaction might be. Given her borderline exhibitionist tendencies I doubt she’d be troubled, but just something you might want to think about.
We now return you to your vicarious, voyeuristic viewing.
“We now return you to your vicarious, voyeuristic viewing.”
Awwwwww yeah.
Skewbald, this is better than reality tv (because what kind of a reality features a lot of people trying to find food on an island, or 30 women dating the same MBA from Hah-vuhd?). Hell, this is better than porn:D
Dinsdale - can I please, please, please, hijack that as my sig?
Let me just join the others and say that this middle-aged married dude is waxing nostalgic, too. This is very sweet. Keep us posted, and you are truly one rockin’ dude. Whatever happens, trust me, you will remember this young lady for the rest of your life, and it will remain a tender memory until the day you die. All guys your age should have the opportunity to cultivate a memory such as this.
And remember: Faint heart never won fair lady.
In other words, go for it.
You have to listen to my advice, I’m a god.
Awwwwright, Skewbald! ::high five:: Looks like you’re doing well for yourself, young man. 
I can’t add any advice to the folks before me, so all I’ll say is: what they said!
And I’m loving this thread.
If you can make a cynical fuck like me smile, you must be doing something right. Don’t feel bad about the woody, Bro, it’s only natural. I’d be worried if it didn’t happen. Count me as another one who would have blown this one when I was your age.
Keep up the good work!

This thread shows why I don’t understand the idea of wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am porn.
I mean, here, we’ve had, what? A lot of flirtation, a bit of body contact, and a few kisses. Skimpy clothes, but the most significant nudity in the story, as it were, was the brief bit of mooning.
And this has been one of the most erotic threads ever on this board. Imagine it as a movie. :):)
Thanks, Skewbald, for continuing to share with us. And hope things continue to go the way they have been for the two of you.
This is so beautiful and refreshing! Congratulations, Skewbald!
And hey, don’t worry about the length of your posts. None of us minds one bit. And years down the road, no matter how this turns out, you might be glad that you wrote such long, detailed posts. I mean, I got one heck of a rush just reading your posts. Can you imagine how you’ll feel reminiscing, having lived it?
I might be being a tad overly sentimental, but jeepers, this is one time when writing a lot’s nothing to apologize for.
Skewbald, this is what I would have wanted my teenage years to be like. I’m so glad that you’re a sweet enough guy to be able to enjoy it.
I would be honored, reprise.
::sigh:: She sounds lovely.
I miss being this young, and having these experiences for the first time. This is the good part, Skewbald. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks again for your comments and advise. I really apreciate each post.
This thread started by Dinsdale where he questions how far I will take this has been a bit of an eye opener. Would I tell about our sex life? If we ever got one that is. I twisted and turned that question around in my head like a Rubriks cube. We are both in our last year in high school and over 18 so it’s not like you are promoting teen sex by wishing me good luck.
Perhaps I’ve shared just a bit too much in this thread already. I’ve seen way more personal threads and information on this board before though. But this is different as there is another person involved. I think I love this person and I don’t want to exploit her. I think she would find this thread cute if she ever read it, perhaps I’ll show it to her one day. She benches more than me though so I’m not quite certain about this. But she’s told absolutely everything, and I mean everything to her two best friends. Girls do this apparently. She was honest with me, they’re older girls and not in my school so I’m fine with this. Still I think there should be a red line for me on how much I tell. I wont get into sex and I hope she doesn’t talk to her friends about this either. She most certainly will though, but that’s different.
I don’t know if this sounds completely ridicules or not. I hope it doesn’t. Let me know what you think.
If it hadn’t been for the rush of self-confidence I got after reading the replies I got in the first thread I would never have asked her out. I’m dead serious, despite the signals she was sending it seemed too unlikely to me that this Goddess would be interested in me. She could have had any guy. I really needed a good positive kicking to take control of my own life and just ask her. I take advises on being more intimate as valuable advise from people with experience, not as attempts to get juicier details. If I’m not more intimate with her I run the chance of loosing her. She has been giving me a lot more affection than I have given her and I need to take the initiative myself once too. I understand this it makes perfect sense. But still I don’t want to rush her into anything, we have barely made out.
That being said, if people are still interested in this I would love to tell you how it goes on the dance today. Reliving these past weeks moments through writing has been incredible. It really gives me something. If this post feels rushed and awkward it’s because I’m in a hurry. She wants me to come to her house at three o’clock. The dance starts at seven. I’m not mentally prepared for this.
I have never worn a suit before it feels strange. Like I accidentally stepped into adulthood and I can’t get back. She makes me feel so good and so nervous at the same time. I can’t wait to see her in her dress. The first thing I’m going to do when I see her today is to kiss her.
Wish me luck!
This has got to be the best thread anywhere on the web! You ask if you should continue?
Man, the Teeming Millions anxiously await your next report. We’re all on your side, ya’ know, and want the best for you and your girl. Therefore, we want to know how things go at the dance. 
,we hope.
