Damn that was good, Skewbald. More power to you and her!
I agree with hajario… I’d help, but that story has just turned me to mush.
Skewbald, that’s some mighty damn fine writing you’ve got there… keep it up!
What would make your next date more awesome? Sounds like no matter what you do,you have an awesome time!!
Are you thinking that you want to “go forward” and she’s holding back? At least on that aspect of it? Maybe some practical things need to be disscussed, if she’s worried about something w/ your relationship and where it is going.
Is she the type that is going to want you to say you love her before ‘the deed’?
That gave me chills.
I’d give advice, but you’re handling this far better than I think I ever would.
Excellent, my friend, excellent.
If you have good weather, may I suggest a picnic?
From her reaction when you removed your hands, she probably whispered something like “nice”.
Wow! I haven’t visited, much less posted to SDMB for a long time now. Once again, WOW!
I have sat here listening to the rain as it falls, reading through the 4 pages of this thread. Do you know how difficult it is to read through tears?
Skewbald, thank you for sharing your heart!
Many have posted that they wished they were you.
I wish I was her!
To have someone love you that way is an amazing thing.
You will know when the time is right to tell her that you love her. But, don’t say it unless you mean it with all your heart. I don’t think you will be dissapointed, it sounds like she feels the same about you.
Keep writing…
Has anyone introduced you yet to Live Journal?
Next time I read this thread I will definitely need to have the tissues handy!
No doubt. Skewy, you absolutely must, must at least get the jist of everything said during a make-out session. If you don’t hear it, ask her to repeat it. There simply is no room for error … if she says something to encourage you to keep going and you stop, you’re rejecting her, and if she tells you to stop and you keep going, you’re sexually assaulting her. Neither of these things are good for the long-term health of the relationship.
Date possibilities, since that’s what you asked for:
-
If you haven’t bought her anything yet, you really should get her a little something. Earrings, flowers, bracelett, whatever.
-
Picnic in the park, preferably with some sort of band playing.
-
Dinner at a nice restaurant.
-
Dinner at your house, let your mom meet her. (Either she cooks dinner for the three of you, or you cook dinner and mom says hi on her way out the door. Or mom cooks dinner and then says hi on her way out the door, and you pretend you cooked dinner.)
BTW, you have warned her about how revealing her pajama bottoms are when she wears them to school, right?
-lv
wow…
…wow.
I agree with LordVor’s suggestions. Picnic in the park or dinner with your family would be a great move on your part. Also, if it was me, I’d be wanting to express my feelings to her and tell her how I feel, but do that only when you think it would be the right time.
Please PLEASE PLEASE… keep us informed of what happens.
oh my, your writing is so amazing. you are so incredibly passionate in what you say. i know you have heard it over and over but you are a better author than any of the people i have read this year! don’t feel the pressure to write. you have already left a lasting impression.
One ?..is a horse galloping on sand loud?
just surprised me to hear that it woke her up.
I just came up with the perfect date, I think. My best friend has this little boat, now it’s a bit old and weather stained but still in good shape. I helped him re-paint it last summer, so I figured he would be willing to lend it to me for a day. I called him up and he said yes.
So now I have a boat.
Picnic has been suggested and I think that’s a great idea, and I reckon a picnic combined with a little boat trip would be an even greater idea. I remember this small island we used to travel to by boat all the time when I was a little kid. It’s a secluded little place with a couple of deserted summer cabins, a forest and a tiny beach strip. It’s a ten-minute boat trip or so. We could eat lunch, go swimming, sunbathe, relax, play chess and perhaps explore the island.
Too complicated maybe?
Still I’m calling her later this evening and I’m nervous as hell as usual.
Some short answers:
glee: There is one correct guess in your post, let’s leave it at that shall we if that’s okay?
Canthearya: Most skaters are pretty nice guys actually.
Nevermind: I’m not doing this for my sake. We could be de-ticking her cat again for all I care, I’m having the time of my life either way. I just want to show her a good time.
lawoot: Or perhaps she whispered: ”stop adjusting my wedgie you silly boy.”
Angelnside: Wow, I can’t believe I actually made someone cry. I really don’t know what to say. Thank you, I’m truly flattered by your kind words.
LordVor: Yes, I’ve told her about the pajama-pants. She doesn’t believe in me and she’s convinced that I’m only seeing what I want to see. And I think she has a pretty good point there.
Bedhead: Thank you!! I think you need to read some better books though…
JaxBeachBoy: I don’t know really, but it sure caught her interest.
Right now I feel like I want to sit barefoot on a swingset in the approaching dusk and write bad poetry.
Thanks yet again people.
I don’t think it’s too complicated. You have a lot of options, and I think she’ll appreciate all the effort you put into planning the day. I know I would…if I were a lady…I suppose.
Skewbald, that sounds absolutely wonderful.
Let me make a suggestion…why don’t you and your best friend go and check out this island before you take your date. You didn’t mention the last time you were there, you just said you used to go all the time when you were a kid. [sub]psssttt…she’ll enjoy knowing that it was somewhere you went to as a kid[/sub]
It might have changed since you were there last…
Enjoy!!

So, Skewbald…has anyone approached you about movie rights?
We’d have to make your character a dork, of course, to have the whole “dork gets the girl”, and cute pyjama pants wearing girl would have to be some sort of cheerleader or something, but I think it could work well:)
[sub]Yeah, don’t bother taking this post seriously. Well, not ALL of it:D[/sub]
!!! I wish it had meant that when Jane asked me to go to it with her 
How idyllic. Sounds like something from a movie.
Oh my Lord!
Stupidly, the last several times I was on the board I didn’t bother opening this thread, little knowing what I was missing, never guessing that such a compelling story as this was hiding right in front of me!
This is just fantastic!
Now I’m going to be checking for updates several times a day, my head in the clouds, daydreaming about Miss cute-sexy-pajama-pants and young Skewbald’s next adventure. I’ll never get anything done!
We are not worthy. Please favor us with updates, Mr. Skewbald. You have awakened the vicarious voyeur in all of us.
I agree with everyone else’s advice, which is, basically, that you’re doing better than any of us could and you must keep on being yourself: sincere, modest, affectionate, honest, and funny.
My only observation is this: Miss cute-pj-pants is very interested in getting even more physical with you. Her placing your hands on her butt–more than once!–is an unambiguous sign that she’s ready, even eager, for you to explore below the neckline. Don’t let her stay frustrated for too long! She wants to be closer, more intimate, with you. Go for it.
Ps: It’s definitely time to visit the local drug store and purchase some condoms
Three questions:
-
Do any of you actually believe this is a true account of an actual occurrence?
-
How long do you suppose this thread will continue with this allegedly skeptical group swallowing it all, hook, line and sinker?
-
How old do you suppose Skewbald really is?
