YAY! egg roll!
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks shrift. I missed where they cued that jump back. I'm crushing on the guy who's just had the baby, but only when he's all business.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay! Our new furniture is here! Guess we'll be spending part of this weekend rearranging and putting away stuff..
On the down side, I seem to have a bit of a cold.(Probably the same cold that my nephlets had when we were in Florida)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm obsessed with Google SMS.

I don't know from dating more than one person at a time. My impression is that usually you just drift away after a couple dates if it's not going anywhere, though.

Colds aren't fun, but at least it's not the flu. According to the radio, there's been a nasty stomach virus floating around the Chicago area for the past couple of weeks--it'll keep you in the bathroom for 6-8 hours, leave you weak for a day or two, and then you're all right again. I had a similar bug Thanksgiving weekend ten years ago, and it was not a fun holiday.

You know, I used to think that site was Cute Overlord. Not that I've ever visited it, though.

How does one person just drift away though? I'm so clueless about this stuff. It just seems that once you've gone on real dates, if one of you is presented with a reason to call it off that the other person doesn't know about, you have to make some excuse. It's not just that it's not going anywhere -- it's that you'd rather go there with the other person.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
You can tell someone things aren't working for you, without saying why.

You really shouldn't have to make an excuse, like with any invitation. "No thanks" should be plenty. Again, not that I've ever dated more than one person at a time, but I've also never given or heard a specific reason for not going out again. And more often than not, it's just been a lack of contact.

drift away = not returning calls, not making the calls yourself, having other plans when asked out.....usually, if it is just after a few dates the other person will beg off. If they are a tool, they will demand to know what is going on, become a stalker, or just keep trying to contact you.

"It's not you, it's me"?
You really shouldn't have to make an excuse
Is that because it's not a real breakup? I am looking at this as more than a series of invitations...or is there an assumption that nothing physical has happened here?

Hey, you have the advantage over me, since my statement ends three words earlier than yours.
