In response to:
I hope it works out for the two of you but you had better be careful because if she is truly a scientific nerd and likes to have complete conversations using only mathematical sentences, she would never, ever offer to help you clean your place!
Sorry about that, I just couldn't help myself. I do honestly hope that things work out for you.
You are truly one of the nicer people on the site.

Well, you know what Rob. I just realized from another thread. I don't even look at it as a 'relationship' anymore. In fact, I'm getting to the point where I even hate that word.
I think that's everyone's problem. If instead worry about where it's all going they would just spend time with people maybe things would evolve naturally.
I'm definitely going to spend time with this woman. Wherever that might lead so be it. I’m not even thinking of it as the start of a ‘relationship’.
Come to think of it, I never viewed any of my past ‘relationships’ that way either. I always just let whatever happens happen. And I have always accepted wherever they go as well. Maybe that’s why I never had a problem saying goodbye when we part.
I just can’t conceive if being in a situation where I’m actually arguing or finger-pointing blame about breaking up. To me that’s nothing short of absurd. If we aren’t getting along then we aren’t getting along what’s with all the blaming? It takes to people to not get along.

I’m not the possessive type of person. If my partner wants to leave I’ll carry her bags out to the car for her. I mean, not in a spiteful way, but to seriously give her a hand leaving. I don’t want to be with someone who isn’t happy being with me. And I see no reason to get peeved about it either. If she’s not happy being with me then I’ve failed to make her happy so who can I point my finger at but myself anyway?
I don’t want a ‘relationship’. I just want to be friends. That’s all I’ve every wanted.
The whole ‘relationship’ thing is just too ‘possessive’ for me. I don’t think this woman wants to possess me, and I don’t want to possess her either. We should get along just fine.
