7. I'm not surprised.
But it's still okay. Life is a journey, not a destination.

Maybe we were meant to be more; butit was good for him to make the distinction.

I also think I know why it wouldn't work anyway...

He's still a good guy and I'm not really a marriage type anyway though I've always romanticized about it. Seems some people just aren' that type. :shrug: It's obvious he figured me out from the first couple of days. :D

14. Well it's best to learn that early on than to figure
that out after you've invested a lot into it!

2. Not in my experience...
Haven't actually seen it happen.

But, I'm only one person.

3. Locking.
That phrase is too stupid to be used by anyone except Alanis Morisette.

5. I had someone pull it on me once...
I was like... "Hey, you like the milk, but, you
don't want the bull... eh?"

It's almost as bad as, "Lets be friends...Mmmkay?"

9. I don't know whether to laugh or cry! Forgive me, my naivity.
:wow:

:rofl:

Human nature was never my strong point. Indeed, it's been my folly...

11. Good point! Once again, it's the folly of my romantic nature.
I still like the concept of marriage/relationship, as does he in general. Especially in this society as it has been made for us to live in.

15. I thought that was all I wanted.
My heart was cold, cold, cold.

It's much more now. I guess we were open to possibilities though. If both people are, anything is possible. :)
