Strange Attractions

Since January of 1999, I've been single. The six months before that, it was a long distance slow burn to the end. The three years before that, well, it was complicated, but generally good (for both of us, I hope

you have a very mature attitude towards relationships which hopefully the right gal will appreciate. you don't settle and you have a bigger picture than the moment in mind i think. good luck and go get her!! :)

*fingers crossed for you*

I've seen too many bad and stupid relationships to want to repeat other people's mistakes. So far, I've been quite successful. I don't want that to change.

Whatever I need to have happen, will happen, when it's supposed to.

Regardless... thanks for the crossed fingers. :)

ooh, you've got a *crush*

keep us posted

[american_arcane]

hehe...

Yeah... but I've had a crush. That is ongoing until I can do something about it.

This thing that just popped up over the weekend isn't a crush. It's something else... mainly because she was the one who initiated it... and there was physical contact.

:)

Oh, trust me, if it goes good (or bad) everyone will know. It'll be a good story.

You looked more complete in yourself. Many people did this weekend.

[american_arcane]

It's a good time of year for completeness.

And, really, I think ren fair is a great warm-up for chiaro. Ren fair with flirting... even better. ;)

I'm still not quite back to where I think I should be, but I'm getting there.

OOoh the excitement of a crush.

It lasted but a moment. The smile and surprise on her face, however, lingered 'till the exit gate.

Fleeting but beautiful and the essence of an act and consequential butterflies in tummies from such attention that we hold on to, at least until the next one comes along. Of course it also depends on who the giver is.

Now, I have many amusing debate with the bf about when I considered a kiss was stolen and when it's not. Just because I responded to a kiss at the moment it was "stolen" doesn't mean it wasn't stolen first. :-) Those are fun, especially from someone you want to care about. But you're right, the long-lasting meaningful ones have to be shared.

And who ever said any starting relationship is "normal". hehe. I don't think I've ever started a relationship in a "normal" way either, but they all have ended on a good note.

Good luck and keep the communication going. :-)

Crushes are exciting... but this isn't a crush. This is based in much more reality--much more actual action--than a crush. And she was the one that started it! (Which, I suppose, is pretty much par for the course for me.)

I have vague memories of what kissing was like... it's been a very long time.

seems like we're moving on to a new level eh?
hehe

(I can see you blushin) :D but I won't quote sarah.

[american_arcane]

Nah... just back to an old one from long ago and far away.

And, technically speaking, until I actually get in touch with her again... I ain't movin' nowhere old or new. :)

[enozgirl]

Ah this description was *MUCH* better than the rushed one earlier today. I think you're ready for new and different experiences. And some smoochies. Everyone needs smoochies ;)

[american_arcane]

Death to Smoochie!

Oh... sorry... don't know how that movie reference slipped in there...

:)

[enozgirl]

*falls over* I haven't seen that movie in 8 forevers.

[american_arcane]

I don't even think I've seen the whole movie once.

But I really liked the parts I saw. :)
