In my case, it’s been well over a year, probably close to two years, since I joined this particular site. However, I did go through quite a few other sites before this one, so altogether, it’s a good ten years since I first discovered ABF!
On the plus side, though, I certainly learned a lot about ABF over those years, and corresponded with many ladies who were too distant to meet in person, yet happy to share their experiences and know-how with me. Thus, when I did finally meet my first partner, I already knew what to expect. So I can honesty say the waiting was worth it.
