No pain for Kristin! Do you have something to take?

Fernet?

P-C, you say, "I never really considered dating." Are you considering it now, with her? I guess I'm not completely sure you have a clear notion in your own mind.

I seem to agree with both ita and KristinT -- that is, if you're willing to see where it all leads then abandon the labels and give the girl a kiss. If you've got reservations and/or boundaries to set up then you've got to communicate with her before you're too much in the land of "leading her on."

Fernet might be the only thing that would kill the pain. I did take a couple of aspirin, but I'm not sure if it's going to help.

Sad now: There are no race pictures of me from the Bay to Breakers. It is the problem with being short and lost in the crowd that my bib number never shows up. But I was there!

P-C what Sparky said. and It never hurts to say " I like kissing you" . but if you don't really want to be invovled due to complications - or you need her to know ther e are complications ... tell her sooner rather than later.

Maybe I don't, although my gut just says no.

Yeah, I don't know when the best time to do this is, though. Before we meet, over the phone or e-mail? When we meet? After we kiss again? Does it matter?

Okay.

Yay, Stephen!

PC, I have no advice, but think you are getting good advice from the other Bitches.

I have been to pick up Emily's graduation gown. After all the trouble we thought it might be, they didn't even ask for ID. Go figure.

And, now I must do something else useful...besides look at apartments and plan my future.

Sooner is better than later, P-C, and if you're going to set up boundaries then it should happen before the next free-for-all kissage. I'm always in favor of this type of thing being a conversation that you have in person, but if you think you won't be able to get the words out in the order you want them to go, then write yourself some notes and phone or email.

Yes, you must look at apartments and plan where the furniture could go.

Sparky is wise.

Damn me and my neuroses sabotaging potential free-for-all kissage!
