i remember the troubles of being 18, and how anyone i'd talk to would either be paranoid i was not actually 'legal' and just saying i was, or simply didn't take me seriously. it's like joining the military, and you're the green rookie that it feels like no one wants to deal with. at 25 and not feeling any different than i did at 18, i do notice however a difference in treatment from people; no one comments on my age at all anymore, let alone do they hold it against me much to my knowledge. basically i have the impression that people will always 'know what to expect of you', and you will at times have to go though some less than simple or easy lengths to prove you are different, if it's worth it to you. and as much i hate to say it, and as much as you don't want to hear it, and as much as your probably won't even listen~ you will not be seeing as clearly now as you will later, you can call it being naive now, or being wiser later, you can really call it whatever you want... but do not be desperate, do not act desperate, do not come off as desperate, do not rush into anything, do not take your 'first experiences' as being the right, correct, or only "way things are". also, while i hate to sound like the people that judge you too much on your age alone... you said it yourself, you're 18, you just got on this boat... did you expect it would take just a day or two to make a voyage? it's not like you were betrothed to a mistress when you were a small boy, you've got to look, you've got to let them see you, you've got to have patience, and you really ought to do yourself the favor of being practical about this~ also, search the forums for threads entitled 'sub frenzy', and while it sounds preachy of me and possibly pretentious or assuming on my part, and while i know it says you're a switch rather than a sub/slave... perhaps some time spent on looking at a relationship not just as 'a woman to dominate me' but also looking at it as 'a woman to submit to' will open your eyes a little wider. there's far more that goes into the relationship you're seeking than just being "present and accounted for".
