Thank you so much! I really understand what you mean on a lot of levels. I didn’t really specify before, but I really enjoy the same lifestyle that he does. My life, though consisting of an amalgam of components, certainly does enjoy most- if not all- of what he is into. Its the personality that he has that makes me like him so much. I feel like things are strange at my school, as well, as at the very “worst” partying and school-work sit at the same level of importance, and it is so for him. I tend to put a bit more emphasis on committees, extra lectures and homework than going out, but I don’t see that to be a ‘problem’.
Also, I feel like my perspective on things is different than many girls around me may have. I understand that some guys want to be able to fly free in college and not become stuck in one place…and that makes sense…100%! And I think that he might, like many people, be afraid that all girls, if they get too close, will try to keep them on a leash in their own romantic ‘dream come true’. I wish I could show him that I understand that. I feel like it would be great to become special to him and then be the obvious answer when it comes to settling down. Is that wrong?
By the way, I’ve never posted to a forum such as this one before and am so very excited to have found you, April. Your advice is so encouraging and you feel like a good friend. Thank You!!!!!
