Sorry I haven't been posting much lately...

It's been so long since I visited here, and the first thought I had was to wonder how you were doing, Toad. Imagine my surprise. I, for one, wouldn't mind updates, and maybe you can impart knowledge to the less experienced as you progress. I'm so glad you can have this experience to grow and learn. That's what good relationships bring, above all else.

Taking it slowly in any relationship or deep friendship, is essential. Pacing can be everything. Just remember to have fun and keep positive.

Holy crap, CONGRATS, man!

Good news strikes! To quote Bobby McFerrin - Don't worry, be happy.

Pics or it never happened =p.

J/k.

Congrats , at least you didn't reach 27 as single.

...and oh, would you mind to tell us how this happened?

I was single until I was 28, so pffffft.

Well it kind of just blossomed from a friendship (as I expected any relationship I would theoretically get involved in would come to be) We were friends for three years, and all of a sudden, something just changed... I can't exactly figure out what, but it kinda just changed from a really close friendship into a really close love. Nothing has really happened as of yet, but we're already really close which means we should have a leg up on a lot of other relationships at the start, right?

It sounds like you both had a paradigm shift, which I think is a beautiful thing. I notice you removed your woeful tagline. an act which speaks volumes.

I didn't consider it woeful, I considered it descriptive. I had to explain why women didn't love me, because at the time my observations stated that women didn't love me. Obviously, new observations show that there is at least one woman out there that does love me (and she has said so too; we've declared our love for each other), so the tagline is no longer necessary...

'Love' doesn't apply only to relationships (or parenthood), mind. I dearly love my best male friend, and in fact all my male friends, without being sexually involved or committed to them. Sounds like you could have been loved all along, anyway.

I'd say so.

Just from your posts online, you're a very likeable person. Everyone here is rooting for you.

What do you know, Hell froze over and pigs sprouted wings.
For real dude, I know I bitched at you for whining and being emo, but I'm really happy that you have someone who loves you back now. Everyone should have someone.

What Sunshower says -- I know you crossed my mind numerous times while I was away from here. No doubt your nearest and dearest love you, too.

Well I wouldn't say we're sexually committed at this point. Like I said, we're taking this one baby step at a time... any faster and both of our heads would spin, plus this allows me time to think before i act, which given my experience (or lack thereof) is really for the best...

That said, we've both decided that we're in this for the long run, so slow and steady is a good way to go...


I don't know... I always feel like im being insensitive or a prick about a lot of things... I'm still having trouble understanding where the "likeable" comes from to be completely honest...


Nah you were right to b***h about that because I probably was being emo at that point... so yeah i probably deserved that one...

That said though, I was a little hurt when you started complaining about my peculiar grammar structure... it's a product of my brain, which just flows from one idea to the next... and it's hard for me to go back and fix it all into perfect english (I'll do it for college papers, but for regular forum posts I just haven't felt much like fixing it up)

We're all insensitive pricks some of the time, and we all have our emo moments; it's part and parcel of being AS. But generally speaking like I said you strike me as a likeable person.

For me? Even in your darkest (online) moments, you never fell into the Women Suck mode. You consistently stuck firmly to seeing the women around you as individuals and didn't write any posts objectifying them as representative of Everything That Is Wrong With Women. That is likeable.
