We already had pizza with chicken on it.

In some cultures, you're already betrothed. Call your parents.

Honestly, though, I'm with the "talk? now?" crowd. Don't promise anything you can't give, but enjoy what you can give and receive. You might even become open to things that seem unwanted now. Even if I was on the same page as the guy, if he started a talk after one night of kisses, I'd think he was neurotic, and be put off.

I read your first explanation more as "I don't know what this is or what I want it to be," than as "I don't want this to be more."

See, I sort of read it as, "don't want this to be more," which is why I turned in the communicate direction. As soon as you know that in your own head, it's time to say something.

Heh.

beth, one of the librarians here famously said the philosophy of public services in a library is, basically, to "get rid of the patron, some sooner than others.

ha. and hee . one of our crazies is very interesting, and it sometimes pays to listen to her for awhile so that I can not talk to her at all on other days.

I would like to STOP putting random Pooh caps in my answers.

My headache's coming back. Someone make it STOP!

P-C, I'm still with ita. But now I have to go trawl the March archive of your lj, to see who this girl is, because I'm nosy like that.

Hee. I'm also betrothed to, like, three other girls too, then. That was one polygamous pizza.

That sounds good.

But so does that.

Blarg. Cindy, my feelings are basically, "Aaah! I'm good for making out, but that's all I'm good for, really! At least right now, with you, as far as I can tell, in my head!"

At least right now, with you, as far as I can tell, in my head!

Then keep hush. Just do. Watch what you do, but do.

Then my final answer: listen to ita, P-C. You haven't really dated. You're just starting to live an adult life (working for reals, etc.). You're not with your own parents. You're not in school. You just moved. You have a million new things going on, at once. You have confidence issues, and uncertainties. These are part and parcel of dating.

I almost didn't accept my first real date with Scott, because I didn't want to lead him on.

I'm just sayin'...

I'm with Cindy. Even if we don't talk that much, you and I, and I don't expect you respect my opinion. If, after one round of kisses, he wanted to Talk, I'd feel too serious, and the kissage? Much less fun.
