Pushy?

[starbuck]

I guess by "dating," I mean just getting to know each other and enjoying each others' company without getting into all the serious stuff just yet (like moving in or talking about long term).

I would say that you're still in the dating stage. It's not a bad thing, especially with all that sex you're having.

[Gigabitch]

Have you had a conversation about exclusivity?

[misombra]

she's gonna want to marry you.

Have you had a conversation about exclusivity?

Yes, we're exclusive...unless she's lying to me, for which I have no reason to suspect. She told me pretty point blank that there was no one else but me.

[CAM]

she's gonna want to marry you.

I think she might want that...I get that feeling, too. I don't know for certain, of course.

No offense, but women can change their minds about a guy in about three seconds (or less).

Then you're in the DMZ, dude. You're not just dating any more and you haven't taken it to the next level.

Yipe.

So, Saturday, I took her out on a date. That went on for eight or nine hours. Movie, dinner, then 5 hours of sex. Is that the "dating stage" or have we moved on?

I wish I had that much ****ing free time to do anything.

Yipe.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Unclear.

[Gigabitch]

I don't think it's a good thing. I'm a big fan of communication and clarity. If you think she might have a misconception in her head about you, you have an obligation to address it. Many women equate exclusivity with serious commitment.

What does it mean to you, CAM?

[IndiReloaded]

Agree w/Giga. Time for that 'where do you see us going' talk soon.

Once you've figured this out for yourself, of course.

[vashti]

I thought men were programmed to try to avoid that conversation...

[IndiReloaded]

Cam wants to get married, tho. He wants a wife & babies and all that jazz. Just needs the right woman, was the limiting factor, or so I thought.

[vashti]

Hmm... I dunno about that. There are so many quality women available to a guy in his age range that it's hard to imagine a single male staying single unless he wanted to, but I suppose it is possible.

[IndiReloaded]

I think its harder than you think given that most ppl our age will come with a lot of baggage. Prior marriages, kids, etc. There may be a pickiness factor at work, but only Cam knows for sure.

[vashti]

Yes, but isn't he only in his late 30s? He can still date women in their late 20s (or at least, I see that happening a lot).
