I'm that way with guys I find on my own.

Me too, but with females. Unless it's a cat.

beth, I think because she asks, and P-C doesn't want to be untruthful.

P-C, maybe your zonked-out-ness might have contributed to your meh reaction to the new lady friend.

Also, you'll work out what you need to do, you've been doing so all this time. I'm glad for your sake that you've started establishing some important boundaries with your family, and I think that in discovering them, setting them, and enforcing them, you will work out what works for you.

I started to type a bunch of things but none of them seem helpful so I'll just give you a hug {{{Polter-Cow}}}

Heh, thanks. It's all so annoying, and I don't want to deal with it right now. I have a trip to write about! Finding a wife is not high on my priorities this week.

Why does she need to know if you are wearing it?

Yeah, I could just lie my ass off, but I feel like that may come back to bite me in the ass...hey, wait, if I lie my ass off, there will be no ass to bite! Hm, this plan has merit...

P-C, maybe your zonked-out-ness might have contributed to your meh reaction to the new lady friend.

Yeah, I considered that. I was meh on her before meeting her too, though. I feel like when I meet the right girl, I...won't be meh, right? I'll know? Or something? It'll feel right? I should feel more excited about someone. It's just not worth it otherwise.

-t, I bought the first one in berry.

I was thinking about that one in that color!

This was my first thought too.

Finding a wife is not high on my priorities this week.

And this is when it usually happens.

In any case, I think she'll be up here this month, and maybe I'll see her in a more alert state and like her more.

She said I looked just like my mom. Which was not the best first thing to say to me. (Also bizarre because I look just like my dad, not my mom. His driver's license photo at sixteen looks exactly like me at sixteen, but with a mustache.)

I dunno - it might take a while for those feelings to develop.

(Although on some level I think my brain is wired to expect the "love at first sight" thing, even though I don't really expect that to happen. If that makes any sense.)

Me too!

Get it Steph! It will be the Official Buffista Blouse!

No, it makes sense, and I hear you. And I know people often don't click or connect until later. I just wish I were more excited about any of these girls. I have been excited about girls before! I know what it feels like!
