I have one thing to say and I am going to say it plainly

Posted as one_line_then_stop, 1 September 2026

Looking for
one honest conversation with somebody who has done this for years
Experience
None. Three months on the app and nothing else.
Around
the east, London

I want somebody to be in charge of me in a small, ordinary, continuing way, and I have never said that to another person in forty six years. That is the whole post. Everything else I could add would be padding designed to make it sound more considered than it is.

Forty six, the east, three months on this app, no experience of anything on this board.

I have read enough to know that the sentence above covers an enormous range of arrangements, most of which I know nothing about. I am not asking anybody to explain the range. I am asking for one honest conversation with a person who has actually done this for years, so that I can hear what it sounds like from someone who is not writing to persuade me of anything.

I am not in a hurry, I am not in any distress, and I am not looking for anything to happen quickly. I have waited a very long time and another few months will not hurt.

Not looking to be flattered. Not looking for anybody who will describe what they would do to me before we have had a conversation. And not looking for a long correspondence, because I have already spent decades not saying this and I would rather now say it out loud to somebody.

What to have sorted before you reply

If this one reads like your own head rather than somebody to answer, the tactics can wait. These three all happen before there is a first match to get wrong.
