Wow, thanks for the love! Much appreciated!
I have emailed a few girls and let them know of my newbie-ness (not sure if I should consider this my first hobbyist mistake, LOL, as I didn't research enough to find out who was newbie friendly and who was not) and so I'm chatting with one right now to go out on our first date! That alone is exciting/nervous/a turn-on/etc.!
Regarding FBSM, I've researched it and read reviews on soem of the hobbyists experiences with it and I'm sure I'll venture into it atleast once to give it a try but, for now I'd like to just do a fairly vanilla FS for my first time.
Thanks for the responses guys, hopefully some of my posts can be as entertaining & informative as some of yours! grits- loved the review after your first year!
