Im finding that staying clean (so far 3 weeks) is much easier than the other times, im not feeling that crazy sruggle that ive felt in the past, is something wrong? Is it that one day it will just crash or could this be normal?

I do not mean to say that im not lusting    just i dont feel the need to act out

I don't know if you need it, but it sounds like you need something, especially due to the hiding.
If you have an issue, I wouldn't rush into marriage.

Hey Sasha! Hatzlacha and brach with your shidduchim, may you find your bashert bkuroiv!

I'm also in shidduchim, however I'm not that worried in the decision that the lust might bring because I trust the Hashem will send me the right one regardless.

That being said, it still doesn't take away from the fact that the lust should be under control when going in marriage.

Hi! You should be zoche to find your shidduch very soon! I wonder why you are not worried, even though its obvious that Hashem will send the right girl, dont we also have to make a decision and not a blind one at that? 

I feel to honestly decide on the right one I have to be clean so im not lusting. (correct me if im wrong)

Umein on the bracha!

Let me clarify:

Of course we are obligated to try to make the right decision and try hard not to make a decision based upon lust as much as we can.

However, at the end of the day , the decision has already been made, so I have no concern hat I'm going to end up with the wrong one because I have lust issues, but of course we have to try not to make the decision (which has already been made in shamayim beforehand) based on our lust.

Just like we have our parnassah already from when we are born but it is up to us to get it in a permitted way and not by stealing C"V, even though at the end of the day the guy that stole was going to end up with the money anyway because it was bashert for him, he still going to pay the price for after 120, so the same case is when we look for shidduchim, we have to try to do it the permitted way even though we know that the decision has already been made.

Hope I was clear.

Forgive me for getting involved, but can you provide the source for your statement that one who steals money - it was bashert for him to have that money anyway?

No need to ask forgiveness. 

I heard it from Rav Fishel shachter and others, I will try to acquire a pinpoint source for it.

Sasha - you gotta find out two things: one does he understand this struggle? two, can you trust him to keep your confidence. if you can verify those things then who knows... maybe it will be the chizuk you need ?

Sasha, please keep in mind the following:

1. This is a global problem, so there shouldn't be much embarrassment since everybody has lust issues, one more and one less.

2. Star off slow, don't be explicit right away and you'll get used to him.

3. Just like posting on the forum, at first it's embarrassing but then it becomes second nature and you'll be able to talk to him with ease.

4. Weigh your options on a scale, either you go to him and speak to him and you might be a little embarrassed or don't talk to him and you'll be left with the problem.
