Mom: You two need to get on with your life, now that you've found each other.

fruitbat_mum: It's too expensive living in two different countries.

Gee, twist our arms, seriously.

Hee! They do have a point. When True Love knocks, you better answer the door. ;)

[janetlin]

It's just his suitcase is huge and thus it's difficult to cross the threshhold. He probably doesn't need all that, anyway...

[mermaidrain]

LOL! Too funny. So, what does he think of all this? Is he a commitment phobic or wanting to take things slow or what? Just curious (not trying to be nosey).

[janetlin]

It's a matter of needing to get visas in order (apparently it's surprisingly difficult to get into the States), get finances straight, etc. It's just tedious getting all the ducks in a row.

[kiwifruitbat]

very tedious indeed. And if you get just one duck wrong, you get savaged by 10' tall wereducks with vicious pointy teeth.

AKA the immigration department.

[mermaidrain]

OH hey! You must be the intended! ;) Welcome!

[janetlin]

Yes, the boyfriend formerly known as alphadsnz_fb.

[mermaidrain]

LOL! I didn't realize he was on LJ or that he could read my comments. LOL! I hope he wasn't offended! *feels embarrassed*

[janetlin]

No worries! I thought I'd introduced you two...

[mermaidrain]

I don't think so, but I introduced myself. And friended his LJ. So ... hopefully no worries. I realized I should've said "boyfriend" or "significant other" instead of "intended" too (after I posted my comment) as that latter one can have all sorts of uncomfortable implications. *face palm* Yeah, I'm blaming all my current stupidity on my allergies. What can I say?

[janetlin]

On the contrary, I think Alan being my intended has _very_ comfortable implications. Warm and fuzzy ones, even.

[mermaidrain]

LOL! Perfect icon. And for you maybe, but it might be uncomfortable for him to be called that. LOL! I don't think so (he seems just as gung ho about you, as you are about him), but you never know w/ guys.

I've dealt w/ most of the crappy ones in my own personal life. I was just thinking yesterday about some of the things Mr. Wrong said to me when I would declare something that remotely sounded like commitment to him (and he would freak out). Maybe I'm foisting personal experience where it doesn't belong YET again. I'm used to scaring the boys away, what can I say?

[janetlin]

I've done the commitment-phobe thing. My first boyfriend was like that, to the point that he broke up with me after we'd been dating for four months, simply because it had been four months, and he didn't want to get stuck in a "long term" relationship. A month later I talked him into getting back together, but that second round only lasted four months, too. Silly boy.

[mermaidrain]

Yeah. Those kinda guys are dumb. ;)

[kiwifruitbat]

*Chuckles* Thank you.

[mermaidrain]

So that comment leads me to believe you guys have discussed this and that ... he's coming to the US? I thought he hated the US. *is confused*
