no

You all still cared the 8th time? Pardon meeee

Remember that time when it happened to you?

Yeah but I'm back.. mods like me better?

i came

Boobs

I has them!

I don't believe you.

I was a little, but not after today.

She reports that after school they had another talk, wherein she asked daughter: "You know I'm serious about marrying him?" Her reply was "I can't believe you would spend a hundred dollars or whatever on a stupid piece of paper. But whatever." She then started picking out bridesmaid dresses.

I talked briefly on the phone with her today, too. No problem, and frankly I think I can manage it well enough, given that she's at least willing to talk to me un-bitchily (never assumed, with a teenage girl).

At least some people get it.

I get it I'm just in a mood

atak

I remember you encouraging me to get laid at my reuinoib in the endurance thread. Good time

Btw, y'all can have all the fun you want, including joking about how silly I sound. I am probably unperturbable right now.

I do think you shouldn't troll others in my well (trolling me a bit is ok, as I said; there are limits but I really doubt anyone would cross them right now), but I'll leave it to y'all's judgment.

It's all fine, mets. You and everyone else are wishing me the best, sometimes with perfectly sensible advice and sometimes just straight. I appreciate it all - tbh I'm too happy to take issue with any of it.

the VP of match.com using her own product seems kinda shady iyam. like, she could snoop in the db if she got all stalkery or something.

atak, do you not think that if you witnessed this from a third party perspective you would think it is ridiculous and illogical to make such a serious commitment so quickly? I mean, how much can you possibly learn about someone in such a short amount of time?

Atak, congrats and all the best!

I certainly didn't take it that way. She used the system straight up, which employees were encouraged to do; I was the first person she actually met on the system.

When you get to be our age who cares

I knew hifi was crazy and moved in with her in 5 months and look how it ended

If I could do it all over



....


I would

F the haterz

why? do you not care about you health, possessions, and a semblance of stability?

Yes, absolutely. If I were an objective observer I would not trust my judgment; given that it's two people it's somewhat more likely to be right, but not by enough. I would think it was an error.

Unless, ya know, the person telling me about it was really eloquent and articulate about it all, in which case clearly it would have to be right.

So yes. Objectively it's ridiculous. I concede that without reservation.

There's another interesting twist on a justification that I COULD use: she's probably the best I can ever do. Objectively, rationally, the issue might not be whether it's magic but whether this maximizes the chances of my winding up with her. That's not what I'm doing (and I'm certainly not sure this is an optimal strategy), but it's a way to look at it.

Blegh. Look what you guys are doing. Would you rather read more posts like the one above or more of the awesome omg I'm so happy, we're in love, its the greatest realest thing I've ever felt in my life posts? I vote for the latter!

Atak, how soon do you plan on introducing atakpup to your future stepkids? Is he excited to have sisters?

would you say that you normally make important decisions like this quickly/impulsively, or is something like this out of the ordinary for you?

oh yeah, and how does your son feel about it all?
