QuickSilver - I’m happy for you!! Hope things continue to go well!
Not 100% sure yet… but she fills out a pair of Lucky 7 jeans just right…
Hey now… we’re not nearly at the stage of involving animals.
Congratulations, QuickSilver! Hope all goes well.
Remember, like other things in life, starting slow is always more fun!!!
Keep us posted!
I don’t think you heard me… she OWNS and DRIVES a Lotus Elise. I don’t think slow is an option.
Cite?
Oh yeah, congrats!
dude, she drives a British car for crying out loud. Reliability and quality don’t enter into it. (D & R)
I am so jelous.
Ooooh! … that one’s gonna leave a mark.
I have two dates in the morning
I have two dates at night
I have two dates in the afternoon
It makes me feel alright.
I have two dates in times of peace
And two in times of war.
I have two dates before I have two dates
And then I have two more.
As my husband said when he met me, you’re cautiously optimistic.
It really is a little scary when you meet someone you click with that well because you keep waiting for the punchline (“she was perfect for me in every way, and then I found out about her two quarts of tequila a day drinking habit,” etc.), but it does happen, and there’s no reason it can’t happen to you, QuickSilver. I’m so cautiously happy for you.
Kudos to you for recognizing that the girl-to-whom-you-can-complain-about-dating is a girl you can definitely date. Have her pick you up in the Elise, and take that woman out someplace fun for dinner THIS FRIDAY. Do it. You totally owe it to each other.
And also, since you’re both still officially “on the scene,” make sure you’re each very clear and honest about when you’re going to stop dating other people. Ideally, neither of you will want to see anyone else and things will go swimmingly, but it’s best to be open and honest and clear up front.
Think about every sitcom you’ve ever seen. People get hurt because they don’t communicate. Be clear, speak honestly, and you will create a very happy situation.
So, she drives like a pro. Very sexy.
Plays the violin. Very tallented.
Enjoys art and thearter. Very sophisticated.
Dresses well. Very classy.
Understands her house architectural remodeling plans. Very smart.
Able to resist my best game (only just). Very self controlled.
Runs her own successful business. Very self reliant.
Wants to continue to see me. Very good sign.
But…
She’s a vegetarian. Vegan almost. I’m a carnivore. I mean primal. A day is not complete without meat on my plate. Not that I need her to eat it as well but I love to cook and what I love to cook most is meat. Dammit.
I’m cautiously optimistic.
<hijack>That’s what that thing is! Sorry, I see one nearly every day going the opposite direction of me. I like Lotuses (Lotii?) and all, but man, that thing is fugly. IMO, of course.</hijack>
Oh! And good on ya, QuickSilver. I’m glad you’ve found a ray of sunshine.
Oh. That’s getting dangerously close to A Big Deal. My husband was born and confirmed Catholic, I was born non-denominational (an Anglican father, a Mennonite mother, and no particular religion for the kids), but religion doesn’t matter to either of us, so it has always been a non-issue. Maybe this won’t be an issue for you guys, either. You do need to find out if it will be an issue pronto, though, before you fall too hard. This could be a deal-breaker.
Best find out if Italian leather will fly. Although that Elise just may have leather upholstery.
No worries, mate! I’m a meat eater and my (estranged)wife is a veggie and we get along just…oh. Um.
You know, you only get one pass through life, no sense settling for “almost perfect.” An almost perfect woman is like, well, an almost fully cooked chicken breast: what could possibly go wrong?
Looks like you’re looking real hard for something to be wrong with her - cause really, her being a vegan is nothing (in the whole scheme of things). A friend of mine’s daughter is a vegan and she looks at everybody that isn’t with an evil eye, as long as this one doesn’t, who cares???
Incidentally, did you meet her on match? Curious cause I never did have much luck on those sites, maybe I should give it another try …
I think it will come down to why she’s a vegetarian: if it’s just for her own health, or a matter of preference, she shouldn’t care whether you eat meat every day and twice on Sunday. If, on the other hand, it’s to save the animals or something, that might become an issue. Have you had a meal together yet where you had meat? Her reaction (or lack of one) will tell you what you need to know.
So, you’ve been on the scene a month…dated three women since then, and found someone who’s both nigh perfect and really likes you.
Well, good for you.
But keep in mind that at this rate, you’ll be dying of old age together within a year.
Damn. You had more dates in one night than I’ve had in my entire life.
