The best defense for dealing with commitmentphobes is to remember that whatever is causing their fear (and we all have plenty of that) is not about you
Heh. Well, in this case *I* would be the committmentphobe (I've never dated anyone for more than about eight months, and that was a long-distance relationship. And I should've broken up with her about three months before I did...). She's the one who's been married three times!!!
Funnily enough Cashmere, I can say the same. Once I had a place to put all that neurosis and love I had, a particular calmness came over me.
I did that to somebody...he took it very personally.
I was too blunt.
But if I had it to do over(or with somebody else) I wouldn't let him date fucking April and then meet the real me when we break up.

Ah, total misread on my part...but the thought is the same, just reverse it!
re: biological clock.
Kittens. I hear a little kitten mew, and my ovaries go kerplunk. Babies--I check to see if there's someone around with custody and I go the other way.
Yes, I'm odd.

Same here. Pete is the only thing standing between me and crazy cat lady-dom.
You can bet how you want, but I have the inside info.
But I do know a lot about you, ita. I know that you bristle when anybody tries to define you (to cite a completely random example). I don't claim the inside information, but I feel like I have enough outside information to place a bet.
If, for example, I was in a circumstance where I had to leave Emmett in somebody's care and the choice was between you and Random Bystander, I wouldn't hesitate to choose you. I'd even feel fairly confident in that choice.
You may well refuse that obligation, but I'm only talking about how I'd choose in that situation.

You can hide them in your petticoats.

Ozzie's that thing for me.
Oy vey. Um, they take it verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry slowly?
Um. So I guess spending almost every night together doesn't count, eh?
checks to make sure she's not meara, becomes very disappointed that she is not that foamy
No, not really, sweetheart.
I'm not so much a commitmentphobe, but yeah. If you want this to last, I think you might need to put the brakes on a bit.
Then again, you may want to consider the source.
