Met the girl of my dreams today

  • Sponsors (?)


alright closet gang...lil pole here...I'm in some need



as usual, its over a girl...quite the girl. not like any I've met before...and yet..there in lies the problem.

she's probably the most honest and down to earth girl that I've had the pleasure to meet. She likes cars, almost if not more than i do, races, good looking, honest, straightforward....i could just go on and on and on and on and on....lol...

but the issue is...we're only about half a continent apart. me being in the midwest and her being on the coast makes it a bit of an issue for us to get together. we're on the phone constantly and we've both talked over the possibility of what may happen and making sure that neither one of us steps on any toes, being 100% straight forward and honest about our feelings.

I'm planning on flying up for a weekend where we have a break for college here in october and as much as my heart is saying GO! YES! my brain is still a bit reprehensible about the idea. guess I'm just looking for some advice on what you think/should do/ wouldn't do.

I'm in such a tight spot because i want to go out in the worst way. But my emotions are such a whirl that I'm not sure yet if i should go...

i know you guys in teh classic side better than anyone...most of you are like internet dads, who i value opinion on more than anything

what thinks you?
 
Okay, I have this problem with saying the first thing that comes to mind (and cracking jokes); and now is no different! Don't be 'irritated', it's just because, well, you're a bright young guy, and I'm now a grandpa.

Does this this mean your brain is having reprehensible thoughts? :p
Which head are you thinking with anyway???? :rlaugh:

(I think you meant apprehensive; but it was a great lead-in for my bad humor.)

Back to the subject at hand; I don't think anybody can honestly give you a correct answer to this one, there are waaaaaaaayyy too many variables when dealing with 'emotional attachment' issues.

I for one 'kissed a lot of frogs before I met my Princess'. Yeah, I was unbelievably lucky at the wedding altar; but there were years of false starts and heartbreaks along the way. Truth is, one of my HS girlfriends became pregnant while we were dating; but the baby was most definitely not my child! She and the father admitted to that, but there were enough signs when the little girl was born, anyway.

Go back and read the first few pages of this thread. Andy was definitely set up for a fall; but he was extremely lucky that Heather was there to catch him. The history of my generation in my family shows that I had pretty much ZERO chance of a 'good marriage' the first time out; but Sue and I are still going along strong together, after 26 years next month. At the time we got together, neither of us wanted anything to do with a 'relationship' (that was a very bad subject for both of us); but the Good Lord had a thing or two to show us!

All I can offer is to say "You just don't know..." and that you'll never know if you don't take those first steps. If you go on this trip, you may either never want to leave the girl; or you may be calling your airline and begging for an early flight back to the Midwest. Or anything in between.

But, if you want to be true to yourself -and you can take the chance of rejection or the "Let's just be friends" line (which rarely works out)- you should give it a shot.

Just my $00000.002 - accounting for inflation.

I think I'll just read for a while....... :jaw:
 
Ahh the torch is passed! :hail2: My only piece of advise is, go for it, you'll have to live with the guilt of not trying your whole life and you will always wonder what could have been if you don't give 100 percent on everything you do, be it ladies, cars, jobs, school, you name it. You'll never regret doing something 100% but you will always regret doing something only half way. :nice:
 
Haha, yay Uncle Pak! Sheesh I miss the New England part of StangNet. Dad and I need to head up to see everyone again.

Yes, it's all come together to be John and I. He gets out here in... 24 days and I am off the walls crazy excited! Can't tell you guys how great this is, it's impossible. Now all I need is a classic 'Stang since john already has his and dad sold Chepie who might have been mine one day...
