Honestly, having a girlfriend takes too much time--how do I fix that? Without making her feel like it's personal? I know she'll take it personal.
Whatever you do, don't discuss it with her. That'll just take up even more time.
I'm a guy who's been married for three weeks, and I approved this message.
Pretties! Circa 2002 after the first F2F.
That's my wife!
Damn we're pretty! Did you notice how bland and unexceptional Emily is?
billytea, heh.
meara, I can't help, but I can sympathize. My last girlfriend wanted to be in my back pocket whenever we weren't at work. She thought me needing some private time was me trying to break up with her. I never figured out a way to explain it to her. (I don't date women anymore. We're crazy, you know.)
Yeah...women are freakish. I include myself in this.
I feel sorry for my next boyfriend. Poor man. I'll have to be extra nice to him to make up for the crazy.
I like to date people who go out of town a lot. Because then I can see them occasionally. When I want. If I want.
In conclusion, I can be meara's LD GF. We'll talk on the phone and never have sex. You can totally cheat on me with other women. It'll be very 60's WASP.
Erin, that sounds AWESOME. You can come to DC and visit me any time, baby!
She is actually going out of town tomorrow for most of the week, for work. Unfortunately, since I'm out of town so much, I only have but so much time IN town--and i want to see her, and my friends, and spend time sitting on my couch by myself...etc....
I like to date people. I like giving 95% of my free time to a girl, if she wants it. I'm a very accomodating boyfriend, when i'm a boyfriend.
14 months single. Sigh.
See, Gris, I think it freaks me out when someone HAS 95% of their time to give, because I don't--I mean, I do, if they're willing to just do whatever I'm going to do (go to drag shows, hang out with MY friends, etc, etc). But still.
I'm more at Erin's end of the spectrum. I need someone who's schedule doesn't totally match up with mine.
