You're overanalyzing this :jet: Larry has a long history on this forum of oversharing and navel gazing - it's what he does. He has just ended a long term relationship and is in the dating pool again after 2+ years of nut scratching complacency. His last boo, they didn't do that getting to know you dating thing because he'd known her for quite some time. So he is seriously asking for other opinions.

That and he just likes to make threads that are interesting and get some play.

Something like that. You're a marrying person, nothing wrong with that.



On April 12, I couldn't have picked Monello out of a lineup - he was pretty much a stranger except for one unremarkable meeting at a party (he was my friend's date) and a month or so of emailing. On April 13 we had our first date; just a date, no slobbering. On April 15, we had our second date and on April 16 he started moving his things in.

So I'm probably the last person to tell someone else to take it slow. :jet:

My husband and I were quick about things too. Met in March (in Virginia), moved to Maryland together in May, married in June. Been 17 years now and no regrets about how we went about things.

I am enjoying this thread also. It's kind of nice to be included in the beginning of this relationship, and to watch it bud. My husband and I got married 6 months after we met. That was over 42 years ago, and like RareBreed, no regrets.

When hubby and I were dating, we had sleepovers (for several weeks) before getting intimate. It helps to get to know a person before bedding them.

I was with you (and the other Cows) the night that you met your hubby. A great night! :yay:

I don't consider this unusual. I know several couples that this was the norm.

It's unusual for me and that's fine. Again, this is a sociology experiment. I'm good with changing variables and see how it goes. The feedback is great.

The women in my life, the serious ones, are all VERY different so, it's not like I keep doing the same thing that way and expecting different results. I am fully aware that the KEY component, the common denominator in failed relationships is... me. So, again, if it starts different, if my behavior and expectations are different, perhaps that is all well and good. I've addressed, successfully, if I say so my self, my control issues as well as reducing the stress in my life. Rather large changes in work and personal time. MUCH better balance. But, I am not relying that as the SOLE variable. "Oh, I can be an ill tempered, passive/aggressive a hole now that THOSE things have changed..." I started with me. That is not saying "I am cured!" It is saying I believe I will be able to manage myself MUCH better going forward. So, I'm not in search another Vrai or L or a couple of the chicks I really dug.

It's a whole new approach.

It takes a cyber village. :lmao:

Do you like apples?
Larry,
If you're having fun and no one's getting hurt, then keep having fun. :yay:
Ask her out for date #3.

As for her spending the night and not getting bizy - that's fine. You've shown that you can be a gentlemen.
When the moment is right, you can make your move.
Right now, I say keep enjoying what you're doing - building that relationship.
As I said before - "if you build it, they (and you) will come."

nothing wrong with takin it slow,
and going with the flow,
cuz next thing you know,
you'll be gettin a blow,
and givin her a glow
as you lay her down low.

Actually I started plotting when I found out that he had a motor home, was retired, and traveled a good bit. That's why I had to roll him around ASAP, to set the hook. :yay:

She's not really his "ex", they only dated a couple of times and it was quite over by the time he started sniffing up my skirt. She didn't even do him - I asked for references when I started getting interested in him. :jet:
