I just finally gave in to necessity and took my benedryl and sudafed (the psuedopsuedofedrin worketh not. We sign gratefully), and spent twenty minutes nodding off. We'll hope that's it for this dose. I hate having to take it, but breathing and not coughing is nice.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It's sadly true.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Ack. Dating advice! I'm responding to someone on Geek2Geek. We've Favorited each other, and I've decided to eschew the usual back-and-forth messages because I'm dreadful at it. So I've said "I see we've Favorited each other. I prefer to get to know someone in person. Shall we arrange to meet in some Neutral Zone for a chat and a beverage, and see how we get along?" Is that okay? I really really don't want to say anything that sounds like code for "sex me up!"
(Oh my god. Meeting a guy could lead to sex. Yikes. I want a companion, but guys only get on dating sites looking for sex. Am I ready to have sex again? nnggngnn)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Zen, I wouldn't explicitly name the Neutral Zone as such. Everyone knows that's what's meant by meeting for coffee, etc, but somehow putting it that way makes it sound cold and uninviting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Since you know that's not true, do you want to go into it with that attitude?

If he does want to hook up exclusively, you'll know pretty fast.

I don't actually know that's not true. I figured my attitude was "realistic".

I am a guy. It is not true.

You were just the other day unhappy because you went to a dating thing and met a girl who might like to be friends but didn't seem to want to date you.
And yes, this is a dating site and I'm on it, and I wouldn't mind finding a boyfriend. I'm just freaking out a little at the idea of dealing with something that's emotionally fraught for me, with a person who doesn't know my issues and doesn't really deserve to be burdened with them. And yes, I know I don't have to have sex, but I feel like cutting off the possibility of sex - while making me more comfortable - also cuts off the possibility of a relationship developing with a guy I met on a dating site. I hope I'm being clear; I'm not trying to say "all guys are horndogs who only want one thing from any woman"; I don't believe that. It's the context, the context of a dating site, that makes me feel like sex is *expected*. Which is why I've been generally avoiding dating sites and rarely even check the one I am on.

Dating isn't sex.
