Forgot about this thread, sorry, tend to pop onto WP for a few days then forget it for a month
Or come back a day later and it's going so slow or bugging out or something so I say F it and dont come back for a while =P.
Interested to see what comes of your situation goldfish.
As for me, I started to call her 'sis' and putting out that vibe that I don't think of her in any kind of romantic way where as before I was keeping pretty silent about it with the intention of keeping the option open =P. And it's the truth, I just don't. Maybe in 5 years but for now she's just like my little sister,

It depends on the individuals involved but you'll never know unless you try. You could at least take her on a few dates and see where it goes from there.
I personally tend to run away from dating women that are any younger than 21, mostly because all the girls I've dated who were 17-20 years old tend to change a lot in a matter of months/years due to college life.
Most of the time what happens is I was their first boyfriend and or first person they had sex with and then once they've had that with someone they felt safe with they decided to go out and get wild. Okay, the sex thing only happened once (had sex with virgin, she went wild and started screwing everyone), but the others were similar in that, I was their first relationship, they got past certain milestones with me, then let loose and started chasing other guys once they realized an exclusive relationship wasn't what they wanted in college.
Which is totally fine, but I just wish they would've just broken up with me instead of dragging on all this drama and lying to me.
Now I need to make sure that the girl has that wild party side already out of her system or she is just absolutely not the type to ever do that, which is why I've become loaaaads more picky than I ever used to be. I'll date a girl, but I will hardly ever ask her to become my girlfriend unless she's reached my expectations (which aren't outrageous).

Yeah, me too. I've met a lot of guys over the years, but mr. 18 is one of very very very few I've actually liked and gotten a good vibe from. I'd say it's literally about 1% or so of gay guys I've met that I actually liked and thought I could see myself possibly dating, so yeah, it's rare. I'm still not sure if the things about him that I don't find ideal may end up being dealbreakers for me, but I'm willing to hangout with him more and find out.
That's cool w/ the whole "sis," thing.
