So I'm going out. with a girl. tomorrow.

[Ben Kenobi]

Maybe she just wants you to lay a fatty on her...

That would be nice if that is what she wants, but I don't know.

Then again, she is Canadian, and everyone knows that all Canadian women are lesbians... well I'm pretty sure about the ones that object to my subway groping are, I don't know about your lass.

Oh, she's most definitely not a lesbian. Which sets her apart from many of the Canadian women, I'm sure.

Lots of stuff to sort out tomorrow, though. She's going to the group where we both have plenty of friends, more of mine than hers. This is odd, because up until now it has always been the reverse when we go to church. I've always felt somewhat awkward when going with her, but it won't be so tomorrow. That, more than anything, will be a change from before.

I don't know about Mark, or how she feels about him, or how serious it is between the two of them, or even whether he will bother to come to church with her. Knowing her, I am willing to bet when pressed that she will not admit to seeing him, and will not consider it to be a serious relationship, and that he will consider it to be more of a relationship than her.

I had hoped to talk with Mark alone, and ask him, (since I can pretty much get away with anything), and see what he thinks, but I did not get the chance.

Everyone of her former boyfriends (I've met two, and one I am friends with,) have said the same thing that I have. She's reluctant to commit past a certain point.

Who dares wins, mate.

The good Lord has provided her with many erogenous zones. You ought to do the Lord's work and "actualize her potentialities" as Aquinas might say.

Good luck, anyway. You seem like a good guy to me and she'd be an idiot to turn you down.

One day I'll tell you the story of my religious colleague and his sudden mood change after he got married.

[Ben Kenobi]

Who dares wins, mate.

True. Which is why last summer I visited her in Kelowna.

This summer I had hoped to offer her a trip to the Philippines, (which she has no idea that I've been planning to go), and offer her another ticket.

She knows I don't make much money, and that this is quite a few hours of working.

You seem like a good guy to me and she'd be an idiot to turn you down.

Yeah, I know this. Other friends of mine have told me to move on, but it's hard. It's like starting from scratch again.

I know so much about Denise, and I've spent so much time over the last three years with her, that when I go out with someone else, it's almost night and day. Part of me wants to go ahead, and go through with it, and the other part is like, why? You know your heart. She's not married. And if you do this, you won't be able to go back again.

Marriage does change people, some for the better.

[Agathon]

True. Which is why last summer I visited her in Kelowna.

What are you talking about? I mean giving her a portion.

Methinks it was the regular nookie that was responsible for the change in his demeanour.

[Ben Kenobi]

What are you talking about? I mean giving her a portion.

You're talking risks. I'm talking risks. Different risks, but both are bold.

By portion I hope you don't presume farther than I desire to go.

I guess I've never asked, or approached a girl like that because I've never had to. It has always been accepting the kiss for me.

Methinks it was the regular nookie that was responsible for the change in his demeanour.

And I'm sure it will work the same for me. But marriage should come first.

[Agathon]

Never mind, you'll understand one day.

[Ben Kenobi]

Very helpful, Aggie.

Second date went really well. We watched eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. It was my second time seeing it, her first time. Then we walked around for a while, hung out at the college forum, so on and so forth.

By the end of it, though, we were clear as to where we were and where we were going with this thing. So that was really great. We are both sort of nervous beginners, I think, which I find surprising considering how attractive she is.

She's really smart. She likes Ray Bradbury! Cool!

[Ben Kenobi]

Good to hear mono!

[MRT144]

[SIZE=1] She's really smart. She likes Ray Bradbury! Cool!

LMAO What a catch!

[monolith94]

What's really cool is that we share a love for the same childhood reads - Interstellar Pig, the works of John Bellairs, a love for the Chronicles of Narnia... Heh.

This is a bit different from the last girl I dated. A good difference.

[Al B. Sure!]

what has become of her? did you kill her and chop her body into little pieces?

[Provost Harrison]

I see why you're a devil with the ladies Albert

[Ben Kenobi]

Well, this is an old thread...

Thanks for reviving it Albert.
