Thank you, java.
meara, I didn't read the history, but I hope your date is just a bit shy/needs time to open up to people.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

[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.

I am that person. But have never dated Meara.

Erika, are you that person who invites someone in for coffee but doesn't want to make out? Or the super shy person who backs away when someone actually lays a kiss on you??

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've been both those people. Do kids have to make out on a first date these days? Maybe it's best I don't answer those OKCupid invitations (one of them did want oral sex--dude, I said I'd knock you out. That's not the same as "socks off", even if you want to go down on me)

I don't think I would back away, no, but mostly, I'm slow to warm up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Or the super shy person who backs away when someone actually lays a kiss on you??
I have done that, but it was mostly a startle reflex. Which then led to a super-awkward "No, I'm not scared of men because I was traumatized by some horrible event in my past -- I just startle easily" conversation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sometimes I don't know if I want to make out with someone yet (or I've made out with them before, and I don't know if I want to do it again then or there) and I dislike being encouraged to be apologetic about it (needless to say, we argued. It is actually all about the chemistry and the timing, not all about me (or all about the other person).

Because books.
Hey, smonster, I'm a little late, but have you tried Coffitivity? It's the sounds of a cafe, and it's been really helpful to keep me on track working at home.

Thank you so much, Amy!
I just shared Coffitivity on facebook.
I struggle with the distracting 'quiet' of my neighborhood...dogs, horns, back up beeps, voices. Coffitivity covers that and helps me resist the urge to have tv or radio on in the background.
