Willow ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[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.
Oooooh, shitballs.
They're already sending girls for me to check out. One is an accountant in North Carolina, and the other is a respiratory therapist in Houston. I'm apparently supposed to start e-mailing them and see if I like them.
I'M NOT FUCKING READY TO GET FUCKING MARRIED.
Ack! I missed DaisyFest '07. That sucks.
Rental~ma continuing, sj.
Laptop died. Have two other computers, but they are just not as convenient and I will probably be greyish for a while. Thinking of y'all and lurking when I can, though! Why I feel I must convey this in telegraphic short sentences I don't know. Stop.
P-C, can't harm to e-mail and see what happens. And if marriage isn't on your mind, remember that long-distance relationships are notoriously hard to keep going.
You're not ready to get married, but what if they're nice girls you'd like to get to know better, and whose company you might enjoy. You get the right of refusal, right?
Who said there would be a relationship? There are no relationships. You get married first.
I know it can't hurt to e-mail, but I keep trying to IGNORE this so I can perhaps happily interact with women in real life. "Hey, you want to have dinner sometime? By the way, I'm e-mailing with potential wives at the moment."
You get the right of refusal, right?
Yeah. This whole thing is just freaking me out. That it's a freaking process.
Rental~ma, sj!
Breathing~ma, beth!
Why I feel I must convey this in telegraphic short sentences I don't know. Stop.
Heh. Also? Once have laptop, can't go back. Stop.
This whole thing is just freaking me out. That it's a freaking process.
Theoretically, though, you can just keep emailing them politely, and saying, "Nope, not the one," ad infinitum, right? And ask nice, fun women out to dinner or a movie or bowling or whatever, too?
"Hey, you want to have dinner sometime? By the way, I'm e-mailing with potential wives at the moment."I think I dated P-C a while back...
JZ and Juliana, did you get my email? Reading about the gmail problems, I thought I would just double check.
I'm apparently supposed to start e-mailing them and see if I like them.
They are likely to be as freaked about the whole thing as you are. DH's college roommate's parents did this to him and after he gave in and communicated with the women they felt the same as he did about the parental pressure.
Once have laptop, can't go back. Stop.
Heh. Yup.
P-C, stop me if I've got this wrong, but my understanding is that while you don't like and are freaked out by this whole process, you are committed to going through with it. In which case, I think your best course of action is to think about it as little as possible. Do whatever is expected of you with the e-mails or whatever, but don't think about it in between.
It's possible that this is very bad advice, but you are in kind of a bad situation and sometimes that calls for not really healthy behavior. Or, you know, I don't know what I'm talking about.
