Having never been under such pressure from so many people to date a certain person, I'm not sure whether I would find that incredibly frustrating or incredibly funny. Probably somewhere in between. Either way, I would say that you shouldn't date someone if your heart isn't in it, and don't let anybody else tell you different.
"somewhere in between" is exactly what it is. The main frustration is that my friends don't get my need to be single, but they haven't really tried. Past that, it tends to be hilarious (I mean, hell, I'm tempted to bring an mp3 player and speakers to class on Tuesday so that we can have a laugh when we see each other between classes).
His dad is pretty awesome (And, I'm finally getting around to reading one of his books, "Since I've now met the author...") and I'm really wondering how much William will get harassed over break about the whole meeting. It's probably a lot.
Hmm, well. That's some intense ridiculous shipping from all sides, which as Erin said, sounds frustrating and funny. Don't let them get to you too much. If worst to comes to worst, I know you'll put your foot down for what's best for you.
There's nothing wrong with singlehood; I think we've all been incredibly too programmed with that need to find "THE ONE" mentality because otherwise life just won't be "complete." Life goes on and isn't always somewhat lesser because of the lack of some significant other.
Best of luck with the situation and here's hoping everyone calms down and stops flailing over it soon (because that's what I'm picturing after reading this is lots of people going around waving their arms and going, "Emily/William! OMG!") Flailing is only necessary/needed if the persons being flailed over are excited by the situation as well. That's my thought. ;-P
*grins* The "Emily/William! OMG!" flailing image is hilarious to me. Which means that I might just have to draw it. It IS ridiculous, but I've not gotten to the point where it's too much for me yet. It only seriously bothers me when I can tell that it's too much for someone else.
The way I explained it to my dad is that some people find what they want in a relationship by going through every failure possible. I find out what I want by being alone and figuring out who I am. I prefer my method.
