Life takes a turn for the weird

    Okay, so I've got a governor and a couple of senators who I have to deal with in the morning, so I really need some sleep.
    Some points before I depart and wonder where this will be in the morning.
    • I don't think anyone blasted me.
    • Much love to Cadet, who I think is a girl, but regardless, I like the point of view.
    • Do I like her? Yes. But do I like her to the point of thinking that she is the woman I will marry? No, or at least not yet. I don't think that is fair to me to start thinking that way at the two-week mark. And it doesn't seem fair to her either because if I don't become that guy, she's wasted her time. And the women folk are on the clock, if you know what I'm saying.
    This just isn't something I thought that I would be dealing with in my 30s. Early in college, maybe. Or even mid-20s, but good golly.
     

  2. How do you know these two aren't compatable, including sexually?

    you either like her, or you don't. if not, homeboy, move on to a girl who's had sex and this isn't an issue.

    If you're not ready to get married, then bolt.
    If you like her for being her, then stay and see what happens.

    Well, Jay obviously isn't gonna revirginate himself, so it's a case of if he's gonna try to persuade her.

    And one final thing, I think.
    Dates are a tryout for the future, Flash is rock solid right.
    But in my view, dates are tryouts for another date, and then you see where it goes.
    It seems to me that in something like this, a date isn't so much a date as a husband tryout.
    I could be totally and horribly wrong.
    Not an expert.
    And, to Inky, yeah, sure.
    Good night, and good luck.

    Oh God, yes, we're all just holding our breath waiting for the opportunity to breed. <rolling eyes>

    Oh, I don't know. Maybe because she hasn't had sex yet!

    Seriously: he seems pretty damn weirded out by her views. What makes you think they're any more compatible if they ever do get down to the dirty deed?

    Unless she has made overtures toward marriage and children -- which you haven't mentioned that she has -- then chances are you are horribly wrong.

    She's waited 34 years already. What in hell makes you think she wants to drop it all for some shmuck who wants to get laid?

    Explains why your cheeks are blue ... ;)
     
  11. I hope he won't try to persuade her.
    I hope he would either accept her for who she is and wait to see what happens, or tell her he can't be that guy (no shame in that) and move on.
    I think we would all agree with a point Jay has made -- it's not really fair to waste her time if he knows it won't work out.

    You've got four options:
    1. Decide sex is a required part of a relationship for you, and end this one.
    B. Decide you like her enough to try her approach, thus becoming celibate while you continue the relationship.
    III. Decide you like her enough to continue the relationship and hope that she wants to try your approach.
    ~. Continue the relationship with her and find a woman who looks just like her with whom you can have sex.

    Each approach would, of course, have its pros and cons.
