Is it just me that finds it both incredibly exhilarating AND f-ing terrifying to be in love?

I mean damn, best feeling in the world and all, but when you're so used to only having your own self to worry about for so many years, it sure is disorienting to have someone constantly on your mind.

Not saying this is negative, and I wouldn't give her up for anything(she is absolutely incredible), but yeah, scary stuff.

Uuugh. Went over my 200gb internet cap. **** you rogers.

Teksavvy!

I have no limit on my home or phone internet anymore, that's pretty nice

Not to mention that both of those are cheaper than what I previously had with Rogers

Happy Canada day !!!

Ahhhh, the infatuation stage!

Just teasing, it is great and sketchy all at once because, you know, now someone is past your walls and can hurt you, etc...

My advice after several long relationships is to hold on to the freshness, and understand that **** doesn't just happen, we let it happen or make it happen. If she's young, don't try and make her act older, let yourself enjoy the chance to embrace your inner youth and vigour!

Enjoy the moment, but remember that you don't have to let the relationship become stale and "normal". Stay fit, stay sexy, stay interested in trying new things, and encourage her to do the same. Go on a date every week, get drunk and have threesomes, and generally continue to access that 20 something place where you let loose and had fun, and the joy will never end!

Congrats man


Happy Canada Day from the westest coast Sens fans!

Aren't they also capped still? Just 300GB instead?

Uuugh. Went over my 200gb internet cap. **** you rogers.

I had the same issues, eventually forked over the extra 10$ a month for unlimited since my bandwidth penaties were more expensive anyways...

It's a CW show, so it's got that high school demographic is the target audience flavour to it, but if you're expecting that and can get over it... it's actually got a pretty decent post-apocalyptic story to it.

Absolutely. On season 2 right now and it's really surprised me. It's much darker and gritter than you'd expect from a CW show. I like it quite a bit.

Upload doesn't count, and neither does between 2am and 8am.
They also have an option that you can voluntarily throttle your speed during prime time (like 5pm-10pm or something like that) and you have unlimited.
Also their one plan is 400GB now, while there is still an unlimited option.

Thanks for the advice man, appreciate it.

I'm of the same "let loose and have fun" mindset as what you describe above and so is she. Being a couple officially is still very fresh but we've known each other for a couple years and have loads of fun together, even more so now. The only thing that's changed is as you say, being now more vulnerable to getting hurt etc., which is just par for the course for everyone, but it's frightening for a guy everyone thought would remain single forever(given my love of the bachelor lifestyle), to have something to lose suddenly.

Cheers!

Enjoy it while you can! If it ends, you'll just get back to the bachelor life that you also seem to enjoy. So win-win.

(ok it's a bit simplistic on my part)

Rogers counts download and upload. I was unaware of this. Did 40gb on uploads. Woops.

As you say, I always have my bachelor life to fall back on should it end, but I am certainly not immune to the damage break-ups can inflict. I've had my fair share of those!

Just going to hope for the best and take it a day at a time. Definitely enjoying it to it's fullest right now.

Cheers mate.

Sounds really awesome man! The truth is, if you have nothing on the line emotionally, you're not really living

I'm someone who never really quite "fit" with any of my past partners, something which tended to manifest itself after a little while of being together (basically I'm a dick with a wandering eye). Gently put, I guess I tend to be a "character" and have trouble changing to fit a relationship mould.

What this has lead to ultimately, and what seems to have happened to you as well, is that we have ended up being single, or uncommitted long enough for life to have had the chance to throw the "right" lady our way. I too was friends with my girl for a few years before dating, in fact we both were with other people for the first while.

In my personal experience, I know there are plenty of women out there that I COULD be in a relationship with, but the one I'm with now is the perfect fit for me (couple year in now, on top of a couple years of friendship). I'm finally just the unaltered me and for some strange reason she actually loves that (she did land on her head a few times as a kid which could explain things)... This is all besides how great she is as a person.

Discovering that being in a relationship doesn't have to be a drag IN ANY WAY, especially given that she comes with two little girls and a grumpy ex, is such a friggin' eye opener! Hahaha...

 

[Harbinger]

I wish was born twenty years earlier so I could take in a Queen concert.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Sure but you'd like 50 years old now

 

[Harbinger]

But I still would have seen Queen.

 

[Caeldan]

But I still would have seen Queen.

From what I understand Adam Lambert's replacement of Freddie Mercury is actually pretty decent. Obviously no one's ever going to beat him but it's equivalent at least.

 

[Senscore]

But I still would have seen Queen.

Don't worry. In 20 years you can see Robot Queen.

 

[Mr Invidious]

Don't worry. In 20 years you can see Robot Queen.

This reminds me of when the Beastie Boys were in Futurama for some reason.

Finished season 1 of Silicon Valley. Do recommend. Hilarious and nerdy. Season finale had the funniest ending.

It's almost like I'm reading my life story, haha.

Fortunately(for me), she doesn't come with any kids, which is good since I've gone through almost 40 years on this earth trying to avoid the little buggers(ok, they aren't THAT bad).

It seems some of us are just much better suited for the single life until the ideal mate comes along. I also really believe that being friends first is a huge advantage as you get to know the "real" person instead of just "meeting cute" and finding out about the skeletons later.

Hopefully I get to enjoy this long term such as you've been doing! I'm happy for you man!

Pass.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Bah. Without Freddie Mercury and John Deacon, it just isn't Queen.
