It just happens that way.. it's intense..
Which is why, although i'm only staying in Florida for 5 days.. i'll have a great time.. and then i'll also seed the option of meeting back up during spring break.. we'll see.. I don't think it's anything exceptional.. I guess deep down inside, I hope she proves me wrong about her..
But I agree with you though.. i'm pro-taking-things-slow.. (when i'm in a relationship).. but when I meet someone.. dating has to be intense.. it's too costly time-wise to stay with the wrong person.. so dating must be intense to not lead to months of lost time..
In a relationship though, I agree that you simply have to take things slow.. there has to be alot of understanding, forgiving, tolerance, and well.. time.. but you know what.. after you reach a deep level of comfort through dating.. and you feel you're very happy with this person, you move on to a serious relationship (not marriage).. and then again.. during the relationship.. if you're feeling very happy with that person (notice, very happy with those negatives aswell).. then you move into marriage.. and your last-call is starting a family.. (I plan to wait 2-3 years until I start a family after marriage).. so, you draft a great pre-nupt, and if you realize that; you know what.. this person has passed through so many filters (qualifying when meeting, dating, relationship, marriage) and I honestly want this to be the person who's the mother of my children.. and there's no going back after this.. so you start a family..
Yeah.. you can already see how time-costly it is when you move past the dating phase.. which is why "meeting & qualifying" & "dating" have to be intense and meaningful.. there's simply no time for dilly-dallying in those phases..
Anyway.. I have to get going to the airport guys, and use today's wall-street journal as toilet paper.. (though it was quite a day! 300+ point recovery!)..
Later guys, stay warm, stay safe.. i'll see you all when I get back..
