Combination of Vicodin and TENS made me sleep all morning and half the afternoon, but I'm feeling a little better now. Still not great, but I can walk around the house without too much pain.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and my instincts where that you are a catch (yes, even with the depression issues.) and they also told me that I'd lost you by the end of our date.
Hey, he's right you are a catch. But he also lost you. Rip the bandaid off. Nothing good comes from prolonging this. For him or for you. It's not even worth being "wanted" and "sought after" because you know you aren't into him so it'll just lead to guilt for stringing him along.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Cass is totally my cold bucket of reality today (which is good). And here's the thing - if he is so much like me in that way, he will *totally lie* to me and himself about being okay with it, like I did with StW.
erika, I don't think he's a Nice Guy. He may be a nice guy. Too soon to tell.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm with Cass, his instincts are right on both counts. You don't need to feel manipulated into a relationship. And I also would caution you against projecting too much of yourself and your previous situation onto him because he will use that to manipulate you.
In other words, you are not StW here, you are still you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I totally think he's a Nice Guy
Why do you think so? I mean, I don't have a vibe off him or anything, but what he shared seemed reasonable "just checking", and if he sticks to his word that's totally how adults should act.

Because books.
What is a Nice Guy, as opposed to a nice guy?

I am trying to be a tepid bucket of reality. Less startling than cold. Maybe a comfy bath of reality.

A Nice Guy isn't being nice because he's into treating people decently as a matter of course. He's pretending to be friends in the hope that he'll get laid. See [link]

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I don't know...just an instinct, but if my instincts were good, we'd be having this conversation in a bigger house. Something about it struck me as manipulative. But maybe I'm a jerk who lets good people out of her life for no reason.
