If this couldn't have gotten any worse I know find out th girl that I like likes me and wants to date.  its obvious to me that a relationship is oit of the question given that I don't know how long this going to take given that I spent 3 years conditioning myself to a porn that doesn't even match my godamn orientation. So right now idk what the hell to say other or ther than saying I can't have one rn..given that she'll be abroad next semester I  can push this off for 8 months but expecting the worst I don't what postions I'll be in then. This fucking sucks...

The idea of a reboot is to re-program your brain back to healthy sexuality.  A relationship can only be a good thing.  I say go for it and take it slowly.  If it looks like you're losing her, then just tell her exactly what you're going through.

Better to have someone now, then having no one when you're recovered..

You don't have to pull your dick out on the first date. Kissing, cuddling watching movies and holding hands all count as rewiring also. A month into it if she asks what's going on be open to her, she might leave you or she may stay.. Look at Fugu for example, he told his girlfriend (If I remember correctly) of 9 months, 3 weeks after knowing her and they're still together besides quitting porn it's probably the best that happened to him. That could be you if you're willing to try.

This. As long as you are interested don't let no-fap/rebooting stop you.
Let that relationship motivate you. Nothing motivated me to quit porn as much as finding a girl. Even though we are not having sex yet, she still beats porn any day.
Porn and loneliness often go hand-in-hand...

Yeah I think I'm gonna go for it. I just wanna stress the fact that porn is dead to me I'M NEVER GOING BACK! The issue for me is that I've conditioned my brain tohave an intense gsy arousal from porn abuse over a few years. I wasn't using it everyday but it sure jacked up my dopamine. It's the fucking thoughts and  the get the questioning of my sexuality the feeling uncomfortable at times around my male frinds that is my issue. I know that if I continue down tho road in time it'll all hopefully dissappear but yes a relationship would help me immensely help me with motivation.
