I don't think there's a such thing as telling someone something too soon - if you're ready to tell it. Not thinking ahead is for someone who doesn't want to see the approaching train wreck. What's wrong with having expectations of someone? How the heck can you avoid it in any case?
"thought of it *like* that...." Breathing too much paint thinner this afternoon. I wonder what the neighbors will think of my new *flamingo pink* trailer?
I'm happy and sad for you at the same time, brother. I can only hope she'll get through this so you two can continue to expand on what you've clearly already found...
Sheesh, you said it all there, Princess! (Though I would've put house before job - you can always get a job, but a house is priceless...or so my real estate agent informed me when I asked her how much my trailer was worth )
I'm wondering, Riya, if you have some specific reason for originating this thread? I'm kind of getting the sense that maybe you do. Care to share (assuming I'm right)?
By the way - thanks for the invite on Facebook. It's nice to finally know your real name. I think it's quite beautiful.
I know where you're coming from, Riya...please don't take that the wrong way, but I do.
I was just thinking that I've made a few really close friends here, and they seem every bit as real and solid as anyone I know. In fact, I fell in love with someone here, so I'd say there's something all-too-real about this experience...
I don't believe the concept of "badness" quite applies. It's more an issue of certain individuals having extremely strong predilections toward anti-social/destructive behavior. I wouldn't call them "evil," because I don't believe they chose their own nature.
Do such individuals exist? Genetic/biologic probability pretty much guarantees that they do. There will, by these laws of probability, exist certain persons who will prove to be more or less impervious to any kind of interventions or influences, regardless of how benevolent or skilled.
Thanks, Morgie! BUt I'm more than just a beautiful head of (fake) hair, you know!
You know, about being cynical...I'm not sure I would've ever believed it was possible to fall in love online, either, until I experienced it myself. And when I actually met the person in question...well, talk about deja vu...it was sooo, soo much as though I'd already lived it.
I know what you're thinking - what a bloody romantic fool... Tough job, but someone's got to ...etc.
I have this hypothesis that people who are so skeptical about the idea you can fall in love with someone by talking to them perhaps don't rate verbal communication as highly as I do...
RE: Smokin hot email I got - Jealous?
Damn, Joanie, you might really be onto something. Zeus knows I could use the money (my trailer needs a new coat of paint!).
