This is why I NEVER tell my parents I'm seeing someone until it's gotten to being an actual "relationship," whatever that means.
That was my plan. I should have stuck with it. I just panicked, ya know?
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh, my god, are they *ever* more expensive. So much more that even visiting that site should be an orgasmic experience...which, okay, if they had a "Love of Your Life or Die" guarantee, I'd be less likely to think twice about the fifty bucks, but, you know...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
See, he submitted a job description to some very expensive higher education job sites today, so he completely gets how it is to "put yourself out there."
If it weren't contributing to your stress levels, this would be almost unbearably adorable. If your dad were here, I might have to pinch his cheeks.

You know. It is kind of adorable. He's trying really hard. He means really well. It's just...he so doesn't get it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I tried eHarmony, and the one guy I got along with got snapped up by someone else while we were talking. I did honestly wish the best for him. However, I found many of the guys suggested offputtingly shallow (like those that turned me down because I had no photo available at step 1--even though my profile said that my photo would be available at step 3, which was only a few exchanges down the road) and anal.
I've given up on the idea of internet dating anyway. I don't think it's my thing.
I do, however, like to tease my mother by saying "I'm spending time with this one guy" and then send her into a lather of "But! But!" by either explaining that it's just time, or by telling her strange details about him.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Hil is me. My parents just don't need to know things.

What is even happening?
I brought Scott home to meet my parents, the night I met him, where he proceeded to spend the entire time I was out of the room, telling her he had no plans to get married.
(I only brought him to the house that night, because he actually brought me home from the work party where we met, and we were going out again from there. I just wanted to change.)

I think my parents met Pete at one of the "Booze Up and Riot" WotC team morale events that were always held at my house.
