Some Good News

[CAM]

Well, I shouldn't just share the failed relationship situations. I should also mention good things, right? So, the good thing is that I met this really nice woman and we've been talking and emailing for about two weeks. The conversations get longer and longer. Tonight, we spoke for almost 4 hours (til 2 am).

I have a good feeling that this one might go somewhere.

That's exactly how i go about things nowadays, and it's working great for me.
I still try things, but Don't care about the outcome.

It looks good from here, CAM, but knowing you, she's mental in some way. You're a kook-magnet.

Ah, thanks for the vote of confidence...[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6ahuYQwzpQ"]YouTube - That's Right...Loving You Is Easy Because You're Beautiful.[/ame]

Yeah, possibly...but what are the odds that I get three mental cases in a row?

I don't expect anything, but "nothing ventured, nothing gained." I might meet her later this month--a bit of of face time might clarify things in terms of the kook potential

[misombra]

well you're kinda kookie too so it should be a good match anyway.

[Gigabitch]

I just want you to be happy, CAM.

A very good point.

I appreciate it more than you know.

Same here Cam. You're a good guy, you deserve some happiness. Slow & steady wins all.

So, yes...slow and steady. The initial reaction is not a sexual "oh my god, I might get laid!" That is very available for the taking at the moment...I seem to be viewed as "ripe fruit" at the moment by some of my female friends. I don't (despite Misombra's advice) get my "leg over." The initial reaction with this woman (subject of the thread) is more "oh my god, I could actually have met someone from my "own tribe", so speak. Its a smaller ethnic group and gets smaller when you figure the political and social divisions...and she's a rare find in that regard. My goodness...to possibly find compatibility among your own kind in the diaspora...would nearly miraculous.

It would be wonderful it worked out, but I'm playing it cool because I wouldn't want to spook the filly

...6,000 years of ethnic history...at times it is a noose around the neck, an expectation...but it can also be a comforting thought in the stormy seas of the American (broadly defined) "melting pot."

[CAM]

should read "ethnic"
