AWHHHHHH. No way. It's just as beautiful. But thank you, it feels great to know I'm missed and not forgotten. I miss SU so fucking much it's insane. I'll be back soon. I can't wait.
-
Kate! I love you too, very much. I agree that the smile business is weird; I suppose it is in response to Facebook's "like" option. I do have a favorite number(s)! 2 and 3. I like 2 because it represents balance to me. I think the pairing of 1 and 1 is beautiful and symbolic. I also like 3 because it is the exact opposite and also the exact refutation. 3 can symbolize imbalance and chaos but also strength-- if you think about it, a triangle is very balanced and perfect in its own way.

That we're serious about our commitment to one another, even when we're apart. Something to remind us of each other and our love. A promise ring of sorts, I suppose.
-
Read a lot, work a lot. Both of which I have done a lot. Read six or seven books, saved 800+ dollars for London.
-
thank you. I don't know why, but thank you very much.
-
No, we are, for the time being. We hit a couple of bumps a while ago, but they have since been met and resolved. There is, however, an understanding between us that we will no longer be together once he graduates next month/I go to London in the fall. We're now just enjoying the time we have left.

I personally am a fan. I've rarely dated someone my own age or younger, because it does generally seem that women mature in different ways than men. I don't think that older men are necessarily taking any more advantage of women than an olden woman would be of a young man. With time and maturity, there is an inherent advantage, but people aren't usually manipulating their partners. I think if both partners are comfortable and feel intellectually challenged, physically respected, and emotionally on par, go for it. At this point in my life, I can comfortably say I'd be best matched with a 23/24/25 year old myself.
-
not really care. I think the stigmatization of the nude form is a ridiculous product of this weird, sex-obsessed yet repressed society. The human form is pretty universal. Have you seen a naked girl? That's pretty much what I look like. SURPRISE. I dunno. It's not a huge deal. It's not life-ruining.
-
hrm. I guess so. I think they were more "provocative" photos though, with things covered and whatnot. I can't really remember.
-
Well thank you. I definitely appreciate the compliment. If anything, the world needs more people like YOU being uplifting and seeing the good in others. I will carry these words with me, so yes, thank you very much. Let's go do cool, passionate, political things together!
-
hahaha. Because of the answer I gave earlier? I would say the exact same thing to a girl being treated that way by a man. No one should be emotionally taken advantage of: men and women alike. You see, that's one of the very base beliefs of feminism-- equality. Just like women of every race, gender, and class, men can be abused. I don't know who the person is who asked me the question, nor do I know the woman he is speaking of. I'm sure she is someone worthy of respect, and if she would like advice, I would give it to her in the same straightforward manner. Feminism isn't about trying to be nice to everyone, feminism is about ethics and justice and honesty.
So, my thoughts are this: petty attempt to undermine me, uncreative, generally poorly thought out. -
Ah, well this brings a whole new aspect to the issue.
Why isn't she ready for a relationship? You said this has been going on for three months now?
I'm sorry to say it but... looks like girl is playing you. I know you love her and all, but there are very few reasons why a girl would pass up a dude who she's actually very into for three months just for the sake of "independence." I say this because I'm pretty independent, and I rarely enter into Relationships. I know this game very well. She doesn't want to lose you, but doesn't want to stop looking either, in case someone she REALLY really wants comes around. You're probably going to end up being thrown by the wayside in the long run, and that's super shitty. So... I'd man up and put my foot down. Say you're tired of the inequality of feelings, and she needs to take it or leave it. Maybe if she's scared of losing you, she'll realize how great you are. Or maybe she'll show her true colors and ditch you. Either way, closure. But yeah, definitely hold off on the loving bit for now.
Conclusion: girl sounds hella lame and indecisive. You could do better. -
Oh no. Horrified? That's not the right word! It doesn't "work" any certain way; there's no formula to figure out. Telling someone you love them is just as much of an exciting, scary, pit of your stomach feeling WITH EVERY NEW PARTNER. But you shouldn't let it make you anxious or frustrated. Just tell her. There are a thousand ways to do it. Write it in a poem, sing it in a song, leave it in a note while she's sleeping, put it on a cake, say it verbally after a few beers to knock the edge off. That's what my boyfriend did.
We had been together for about two weeks (yeah, I know) and he just got hammered drunk and when we were alone, being quiet and looking at one another, he smiled and said, "I'm insanely in love with you." and that was that.
It isn't like you're going to tell her you hate her guts and think she's ugly. Love is wonderful and should be shared. Any girl would be flattered and lucky to recieve your love. I promise. Spit it out. -
You are very, very welcome. As cliche as the answer is, it's true. All the mess about waiting or not waiting or blah blah blah takes up a lot of time and thought that isn't exactly necessary. It's a damn shame when someone feels pressured before their time, and it's admirable when people have personal or religious motives to hold off and do so. But really, mostly, you just know. The time and the place and the person come about and voila, you're having sex. And you feel good, and it feels good, and that's it.
-
Sure. I think of myself as a sexual person. But nowadays, I'm usually only flirtatious or sexual with my committed partner. When single, I suppose I have a knack at getting what I want in some flirtatious way.
-
I haven't been getting many lately. I think the culture of formspring has mostly died down.
To respond to the second query; I do not know. I think that is something you have to answer for yourself. I can only give suggestions. I don't consider myself incredibly sexy all the time. Sometimes I do. Like when I'm being sexual or flirtatious. Otherwise, it's pretty much outwardly perceived. But thank you very much for saying so. Confidence boost. -
I think I pretty much follow the dictionary definition of "a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion." I think people can be bigoted in some ways and open minded in others, although there definitely exists a faction of humanity that is entirely bigoted towards that which is different than their own. I don't think bigotry is always a bad thing. I think ignorance is always a bad thing. I think it's personal prerogative to dislike or disdain something as long as you understand why you feel the way you do. For example, I am bigoted against... child molesters and rapists and misogynists. I don't tolerate that kind of behavior in my atmosphere because I feel like it is harmful or bigoted itself. Everyone has to have their prejudices, I s'pose. Just make them educated ones.
-
I'm not a big smile-er. Nothing personal. Not to say I'm not a happy person. I just don't find myself smiling a ton. I think this ties into the fact that excitement is the emotion I feel least often. I am rarely excited. I guess... I may have smiled when kissing my boyfriend good morning, or something like that.
-
well thank you very much. I certainly take this to heart and appreciate it.
-
I think an abortion is a woman's right. I used to say that while I supported other women having them (although I am a BIG proponent of birth control... condoms, the pill, spermicide, etc etc etc- mistakes happen) I wouldn't have one myself. That all changes though when you actually think you're pregnant. It's a terrifying situation. So. It's a sad situation, and I hate when it could have been prevented with preventative measures that were not used, but it is nonetheless a health choice that would already be covered by insurance and fully legal if it were white men who had to have them instead of women.
As for the father, I think he has the right to oppose it, be very sad, cry, feel however he feels, but ultimately it is the choice of the female. Men would probably not feel so upset about this if they understood: this is not something a woman WANTS to do either. We are about to have to go through a grueling experience that involves the surgical break-up of our CHILD and then have it vacuumed out of our bodies. It will be one of the most emotional, traumatic things we've probably ever been through. So we understand that you are sad, and you wanted a baby, but please; be a real man for me now, when I need you. Please think of ME, and hold my hand, and let me cry, and understand that I did what was best for both I and our unborn child whom I could not support (emotionally, physically, mentally, financially) yet.
