Also, didn't Allyson start with asking for reasons why not?

I stand by no neighbors, if you're a person who tends toward strong feelings quickly.

if I just, you know, build a nice little heart-load bearing wall.

Awww. Yeah.

Look, if romance is not a priority (and I don't presume it is for everybody here, and know several folks who have stated otherwise) then it's not worth the heartache.

But if you want love.

If you desire a committed relationship.

Then I am saying that you have to be more open to trying things and can't be so willing to throw up a wall. You can't be looking for reasons Not To. You have to try a lot of maybes and rethink your issues. You have to grow to it.

I say, if you've got misgivings, pay attention to them, follow them through and if you still have them, honor them. What works for some, doesn't work for all. In the Jesse's wise words, dude, people are different.

Okay, back to Belize.

Is it more logical in Belize? I'm imagining a lot of tropical Spocks.

I also just looked back, and apparently this particular guy was wearing his wedding ring two weeks ago. I'm really willing to call that a red flag. ESPECIALLY if a person's looking for love. I might fuck him, but I wouldn't want to date him.

ita! When you get back from Belize... Victor Varnado news

It looks like he's going to be on Last Comic Standing this season. And the Village Voice did a really killer cover story on him a few weeks ago [link]

BullSHIT. Maybe the last time you hooked up with your separated neighbour it was all sunshine and roses and fellatio. But that's hardly the point, is it? No one has to have exactly your boundaries to fall in love--people with different lines have been falling in love since we invented the romantic little notion.

Why are you distorting the scope of the discussion and damning anyone who doesn't want to sleep with neighbours or separated people to a dry and loveless life? I mean, do you really believe it's true, that people who won't take that particular risk don't desire love or committed relationships?

Fine, you think Allyson and msbelle and Jesse and I are stuffy and dead inside. I just can't follow your reasoning from this discussion to your conclusion.

OK, the article says hes NOT on LCS, but he's in the commercials. WTF do I know?

Well, one thing I DO know...

In the article they mention him coming on stage in a sock (and JUST a sock) as if it were an unusual behavior for him. Its not.

Oh! Deena! This is the same guy from the NOAH pages all those years ago.

Well, in a mercenary sense, I'm just talking about making out and a possible blow job.

My crushes always involve initial thoughts of what make ME feel good. To add to all my other basically unrequested advice, I'll say - Allsyson, if you do decide to jump in quickly with this guy - I recommend getting yours upfront and service him afterwards.

I recommend getting yours upfront and service him afterwards.

This is actually a lifestyle choice for me...and has been for years.
