I'll know? Or something? It'll feel right?
At some point, yes, but that may or may not be when you meet.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Herding cats for fun
For me, if I were P-C, the First Meeting would be filled with waaaay too much tension to relax and find out whether I enjoyed the other person at all. I'd be all Best Behavior and awkwardly forced humor, with sweaty hands and doubt in my heart. Even if he said he had a pony for me.
I would probably take heart in my situation if I didn't have an immediate dislike of the intended that had been selected for me.

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH and I are the one night stand that lasted forever.
What can I say? We both got lucky.

Query to P-C's mother: Why were you so all-fired keen on him studying him science when you believe in magical thinking?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
w00t, Katerina Bee! Congrats on the "Featured Artist" thing!

Damn. I feel like I'm teething, and want to bite down hard on something. Also, when I swallow soft food like pureed winter squash, it feels like I might be swallowing too hard.

Freeze a wrung out wash cloth and bite in that, maybe, WindSparrow. Could help. Not with the swallowing, probably.

Wet tea bag, WindSparrow.
Unless it's really pureed winter squash, I think you're being too ambitious. You're still in chicken noodle soup and ice cream territory.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
P-C, have some mom~ma.
WindSparrow, I hope you can get some pain relief.
I love the stories of how people met/got along on first meeting. I originally met The Girl via a networking site. On meeting her IRL, I fell in love and asked her out immediately, and she took nearly a year to realise I was worth a try. It's a good thing I'm patient (and that my sudden impulses are sometimes lasting ones).
We're going home this morning. I've never been so happy to go back to my snow-covered city in all my life. I think we made progress with The Girl's family in the end, though, which is amazing. It probably involves postponing our civil partnership till the winter, though. Sigh. I am working on gracious acceptance of life's challenges...
Here's hoping the snow doesn't delay our flight too much!
