Headed Towards Monogamy?

All joking aside, Calleja (which is easier for me, because I haven't known you as long as the rest of these folks) but I think it's cool that you've got a solid relationship going with this girl that's on a plane beyond the merely physical. Sounds like y'all have got a good thing forming. Fortuna!

Calleja, despite all the jokes and such... I say this with great sincerity, it sounds like you have a good thing going on with this young woman.

Pursue her, mi amigo. Pursue her.

And when the time's right... introduce her to us. :)

I'm going to echo North Ranger's sentiment. I know I made a joke early on in this thread, but if you have something good with this girl then hang on to her! Best wishes :)

Ok.. today I had car trouble. The annoying, having to wait an hour to get her home while stuck at the gas station trying to stop the damned thing from overheating. And she was awesome throughout. I offered to call her a cab so she didn't have to wait for me and she was vehemently against leaving me "alone". She stuck with me with a smile the whole time. Told me I was banned from saying "sorry" again for the rest of the day. Left her at her house and we both hugged like we didn't want to let go.

She won so many points today, I'd be surprised if I'm still single by next week.

Remember Calleja, if you decide to have kids, go for quality, not quantity.

What? How are we gonna slowly and silently invade the US one illegal immigrant at the time if we don't have as many kids as possible? You talkin' crazy, ese.

Well, I guess it's a good a time as any to update you guys...

We went to see A-Team yesterday... held hands pretty much throughout. She even loved the movie.

Then we decided to go get some coffee but the starbucks at the same mall decided to close early for some reason. Neither of us being in the mood for a "normal" Saturday night activity like clubbing or drinking or whatever, we ended up coming to my place to watch a movie. I introduced her to Shaun of the Dead. She loved it.

And then we watched an episode of Friends from one of my DVDs... and cuddled. She was at my bed with me and it went straight to cuddling. We made out a bit but it was all very... held back. And not because she seemed uncomfortable, I think *I* was holding back more, even.

And we talked. We talked for hours about how weird it was to like each other so much so quickly. About our likes and dislikes, about how we are, or have been, in relationships. We were basically having the pre-relationship talk. And then I just had to flat out say, surprising myself so much it felt like someone had taken control over my mouth: I'm gonna pursue you seriously. (It doesn't sound as creepy in Spanish, couldn't think of a better translation).

And she didn't run away and in fact spent one more hour cuddling and talking. And then I took her home without so much as removing her shoes.



So.. yeah. A fuck buddy of mine contacted me this morning and I instantly felt guilty about the possibility of seeing her. That only means one thing.

The monogamy switch has been thrown. I'll have an official girlfriend soon.

Heh, that sounds very similar to how things started with my girlfriend a few years ago. We're getting married this summer :).

*Is that advice for good reason, btw?

The main reason that's a "thing" is tourists coming over and drinking tap water because they think it's potable. It's not, but not because it's dirty. Quite the contrary, it has chlorine and other stuff that.. yes, will make you sick. Especially if your digestive system isn't used to it. Most water plants here treat the water so you can safely bathe, wash your hands, your teeth, whatever... but not for human consumption. This stops bad or old piping from contaminating the water so it's not even safe for a shower.

We install filters and stuff when we want to drink the water straight from the tap, or buy it bottled.

That being said, most hotels do treat their water so it's potable. So most tourist-staying-at-good-hotels diarrhea cases come from their consumption of tacos or whatever that are a bomb to the unacclimated stomach. Hell, even Mexicans who aren't from Mexico City need time to be able to enjoy the awesome street vendor tacos without consequences, for instance.

Hell, the same could be said of going to NYC and getting a hot dog from a street vendor. Do so at your own peril! (I did, and it was delicious, but that's not the point! *grins*)

Alright guys... this is a big deal.

She came over... and we watched.. *takes a deep breath*... The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Yeah. My Beatles of the literary world, made movie.


AND SHE FREAKING LOVED IT!! :biggrin:

Dudes, she didn't even love it, she asked to borrow the books to read!! Oh man, I may marry this girl after all.

Dude, if she's all about the reading, this transcends normal stuff. Seriously - if you've got someone to share your favorite books with... I'm a little envious, actually... (my wife thinks I have too many books, then gives me weird looks when I tell her there's no such thing...)

Marry her and divorce her so you can marry her a second time. What I'm saying is, marry her twice over.

Ok, now I'm having second thoughts about this whole serious relationship thing, but I don't know if it's because of temporary scared shitless issues or if the smitten thing has passed and now I'm... un-smitten. :eek:hwell:
