Well, first answer this, What do you consider overly attached?Some guys see their atf once a week and don't consider themselves attached while others scrimp and save to see their atf 3-4 times a year and are afraid she will think they are getting too close.  So, again what do you consider overly attached?

I met my ATF in the winter and the change in seasons has done nothing for me except remind me our anniversary is coming up.

The obvious answer is that there are a fair number of people who want more than sex from their provider and when they find it, then they are willing to stay with the same one for awhile until something better comes along.

Ask yourself if you are the kind of guy who goes to the same restaurant, or orders the same drink every time and then ask yourself if the sex and everything else you want is good, why keep looking?

From my end of the table

I started a thread down below. My goal was to find out how others handle the ATF situation. I haven't fallen for the woman I'm seeing next week, just wanted to get some input.

It seems the general concensus is, if you find yourself enamored, go see other women as quickly as possible. Seems pretty logical.

As far as the fall, most people seem to get a bit melancholy this time of year. It also seems logical that you would want to cozy up to someone familiar, whether that be a SO, or a familiar provider. So, as long as you're not (meanining me too) completely in love, go see your ATF and have fun.
