Tripping with someone you like

Yay or nay? On one hand, tripping can make you emotional and shit, and the shared spiritual experience could bring you closer. However, it can also make you socially awkward as shit. Yesterday I tripped with the girl I like, as well as my good friend and his girlfriend. The girl I like didn't talk much while tripping, and neither did I. We forgot what sort of things we talked about. I hung out with her for hours the other night and there was rarely a lull in the conversation. Perhaps it was the fact that there were more people. My friend's girlfriend didn't trip and she too was fairly quiet. So I guess the kind of lackluster vibe contributed to this most. What do you guys think? Have you ever picked up while tripping?

 

You kinda said it all within your post. When tripping you see the raw real spiritual essence of whomever you're with. If its a new fling or still in its awkward stages then sometimes its the absolute worst thing to do if you're trying to gain some interest with the other party because you'll see each other in an intense enlightening perspective.
If its their first time tripping or they're already quite experienced then I'd say things should go fine and in your favor though. Otherwise I wouldn't be too surprised if you tried it again and got only blandness in return

I've raised my chances by making my trip into an actual trip or journey into the woods, on a good bike trail, etc. You need to be surrounded by sensory experiences, and by doing so, the times will be greater, and everyone will be too into the moment to get lost in their thoughts (I'm guessing this is what happened with your experience)

Best of luck, and happy journeys

 

i think your sort of negative or lackluster experience was due to setting, not the girl you like. if the sober girl friend wasn't talking, she might have just contributed that to the overall "vibe." also, if you guys were tripping decently hard, language is something that often falls by the way side for a few hours. normal (side) effect of LSD.

so i agree with the above poster - you said it all (mostly) in your OP.
if you're gonna trip with her again, don't have any non-trippers around, and make it a setting more focused on nature or something.

 

and about "picking up" while tripping - i did drop L with my fiance a handful of times back when we first started dating. but it was at least a month or so into our relationship, which began the 1st time we hung out. i don't think it was anything to make or break our relationship, but i think we certainly valued those times together, and i recall those experiences more than a "normal" day with her in college. of course i remember plenty of non-tripping memories as well.

 

I think its probably the setting as well.

Also, tripping can really illuminate the nature of relationships. If you're tripping with someone you like but you like them for shallow reasons and don't really have a real connection with them, the trip is going to illuminate it.

If you're really connected to someone on an emotional or spiritual level, then that connection is going to get really intense while tripping.

Also, like someone else said, words become extraneous and unimportant while tripping.

 

I kind of have a weak spot for girls who are a little withdrawn. We walked around some amazing places, we definitely had enough to do. I felt like a little too sober, and that's why the vibe was lacking. Didn't take enough shrooms to begin with. I tried redosing, but it was too late. It was a very fun night, but it could have gone much better.

 

I've tripped balls several times with a girl i liked and she liked me back, we understood it was a psychedelic experience and that emotions and stuff can get awkward. After the trip it was never awkward, we just understood that there were feelings under the surface and that psychedelics can mess with that / bring them out more

Just don't freak out if you're suddenly more open with each other than you thought you'd be . . . go with the flow, worst case scenario just apologize for being awkward on drugs!

 

I would probably not trip with a girl I liked unless she was already a very close friend. I like Tripping alone mostly and only do it with people that are extremely close to me.

 

Ecstasy can provide those positive features you attribute to tripping and usually does not create those negative features as well, it's definitely the psychedelic I feel the most comfortable on when interested in someone else. I have picked up on mushrooms once as well but it was on a moderate dose. (half eighth) Everytime I've taken a high dose of mushrooms I've been way too involved in my trip, I've only used acid once in a setting where I had the opportunity to pick up on someone and I actually talked a bit to some girls I knew but like shrooms I was kind of occupied in my trip.

For people I've already had an established relationship with tripping on shrooms/LSD can be amazing to take with them, I feel like I learn new things about the person and view them in various ways which has almost always been in a positive light. As far as picking up goes though, I think Ecstasy is pretty much the only psychedelic that produces the confidence, desire, disinhibition and openness for me.

 

just ask her out or something of the sort already if you're worried about it. that way you wont have any unresolved issues fucking with your trip. if you're taking shrooms that could fuck around with a man, but a light dose of cid, never any worries, at least for swim.

 

You can't just ask a girl out without doing the ground work. She is not interested in me YET. She is a quality girl and is going away to work with elephants for 3 months, (how cool is that?!) so I must hone some skills to escape the dreaded friend zone in which I have found myself.

 

Being straight up works bro... I had a good friend who I had a thing for once, then we got a couple drinks into us and I simply said "Do you wanna fuck?" and bang. ...of course the fling only lasted a few weeks and now shes all over some other cock. Fuckin way she goes.

 

I had a few trips with lovers, past and current, and have to say it was always fantastic, though I know it's different from what we talk about now. Hallucinogens are great for pair bonding, the connection is so deep and emotional. I tripped with an ex while we were not dating yet and we could feel each other's feelings, inner thoughts and true nature, it was beautiful and that's when we really fell for each other.

 

Actually now that I think about it, I had a similar experience with my last girlfriend. But that's what made me like her, I didn't already have feelings.
