It is apparent that you need to work on your self control. It is one of the key stones to being a DJ but it is also one of the most difficult to build up. It takes both time and a concerted effort on your part to identify situations that get you in trouble
before you react to them and then adjust your actions appropriately. In other words control your actions and stop reacting to situations.
I will assume that since you want to work on a LTR so first and foremost you need to understand that women in LTRs need respect, affection and romance. You can only imagine what your GF feels when you let go of her hand and do a 180 to look at another woman. In doing that you have lessened her respect, affection and romance in a matter of a couple of seconds. So why should she date you?
I am in no way saying that you shouldn't look at other women. The key is to respect the one you are with by not gawking or breaking any type of kino just to look at someone else. Here's an example that happened to me just this weekend.
My GF and I were at a Renaissance Festival and
she noticed a scantily clad belly dancer from behind and as we walked by, commented that she didn't have the right hips for belly dancing. I looked at the belly dancer, grabbed my GFs hand and told her to slow down. Still holding her hand I walked her around to see her from the front. I told my GF about a girl I had previously dated who danced at the festival and I curious whether it was her or not.
After a quick look I said that it wasn't her and that I was lucky since I couldn't even remember her name for some strange reason. While saying that I gave my GFs hand a squeeze while giving her a quick wink. She smiled and gave me a kiss and everything was good with the world.
I respected her in that I did not hide my actions nor broke the kino we had established. The affection was there because I was comfortable in showing others that we were together by holding her hand. The romance was there in that I gave her a complement (although non direct) and a little flirt on the side. All of this made my girl feel confident that although I was looking at this other woman, I was definitely with her.
Hopefully this helps you understand that you can still be a DJ by staying in control of the not only the situation but also yourself PLUS having the ability to keep your GF IL on high.
