I'm happy for you!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "today's events will become tomorrow's exceptions" but that's okay. I think I get the idea. >.<

Thanks for the kind words though. :D



Hehe, yeah that seems a bit cryptic now to me as well =)

Sometimes in the beginning of a relationship everyone is working so hard, to be so great to each other -- this can create unrealistic expectations that, overtime, can't and won't be met. So, the advice I give my sisters when they are dating new guys and they seem so great at first is to appreciate their virtues, but be careful not to let that appreciation turn into expectation - at least not initially.

Now, how you were to get all of that out of that little sentence I initially typed -- I'm not sure lol, but I hope I at least make sense now!

It does make more sense now, thank you. ^_^

I was IMing one of my good friends and she asked me something to the effect of, "You've had 4 very good dates and whyyy aren't you two official yet?" I didn't know how to reply. I told her that I didn't want to "jinx" our chances so early on. She has the mindset of, "just do it, what do you have to lose?" I guess she's half right but to me, there's a lot to lose.

Personally, I want him to meet more of my friends. He met my roommate and one of the girls who lives in my hall briefly. He gets really shy and quiet. After my friend left, he looked at me and said, "did I do that right? Did you want me to be more manly or...?" I start telling him that the particular friend that was there is into girls so there's no need to impress her. That put him at ease. I have lots of friends and I wanted to have him meet some at the Ren Club or something but he's too scared to. He usually says something to the effect of, "I don't want to keep you away from your friends." I don't know what to tell him. I feel that I won't know what to do until I have him meet at least a few of them. I dunno....

^^ ***sigh** you girls are really weird (sorry girls but i am in stereotyping mood now) , you are really weird creatures. A guy always must pass the s**t of the "her friends' total approval" test before being declared as boyfriend.

Disgusting.

I'm not asking for him to pass a "s**t test." I simply want him to see how I interact with my friends and show him a good time. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy cuddling with him on the couch but I want to make sure what kind of date activities he would be open for so we don't get stuck doing the same thing over and over. I don't care what all of my friends think about him. From what I told them of him so far, they approve but they just wanna meet him and include him in our circle of friends. That's all. :/

Boo! I couldn't care what my girlfriends think of my boyfriend.
