Hi from Canada

Heya TBear and a belated 

Thanks

You will run into some differences though.  Women are women, yes, (just like Bass and Walleye are both fish) but there are some subtle and not so subtle differences.   The "traditional" women label is agency hype.  The relationship roles are more gender defined and your FSU paramour will have certain expectations of you "as the man" but don't expect June Cleaver.

Maybe I'm weird, but I'm not looking for June Cleaver

You'll encounter some superstitions and sometimes bizarre logic patterns (with some perhaps being to an extent that you may begin to wonder if she were actually from the most recent Body Snatcher Invasionary Force).  Yeah, sometimes you will find yourself staring blankly at her with the only intellectually sound analysis you can muster frozen as "What the heck was THAT?" or "No, I'm hallucinating... there's no way she just said that... well... damn.. she just said it again..."

Those are just part of the bonus fun involved.    She'll be staring at you with those blank looks as well sometimes.

No doubt.

Take your time.  Chances are that the first woman (or two) you get to know and THINK is "The One", uh, won't be -- which is why it's important to relax and allow relations to progress as naturally as possible.

I have actually managed to learn this one first hand already. Not the most fun lesson to learn, but one that is necessary.

I appreciate all of the tips, suggestions and comments
