Mingan29: So what did you come to think...?
Mingan29: if that makes any sort of sense?
DrMoonwalkerMD: It does
DrMoonwalkerMD: I realized saying no to the first person who has ever loved me so much would be extremely stupid
Mingan29: *nods*
DrMoonwalkerMD: So...when the time comes, you won't get a negative answer

Mingan29: When should I ask?
Mingan29: lol
DrMoonwalkerMD: That is your choice
Mingan29: If it were honestly up to me, I'd do it as soon as possible.
Mingan29: Of course, the problem with that
Mingan29: is that I lack certain things.
DrMoonwalkerMD: *blushes softly*
DrMoonwalkerMD: When you obtain your certain things, I will be ready for you
Mingan29: *grins*
Mingan29: Until that time, I can give you mine.
DrMoonwalkerMD: I cannot accept you ring, that is a family heirloom!
Mingan29: You'd be joining that family, love.
Mingan29: Besides, it's supposed to be significant and meaninful and such.
DrMoonwalkerMD: *smiles* Alright

Oh. Mai. ********. Gawd. eek heart biggrin




So Moonwalker and I...are soon to be engaged. And married by this time next year, living together in San Diego.

You see the date in my signature for how long we've been together? And I'm fully, absolutely ******** serious about this.

I'm not even ******** worried about it. Really, a part of me is saying "Where's the ******** warning signs here? Where is the little voice asking 'The ********, I resist falling for people quickly, but likewhoa. I wonder at the lack of trepidation I feel. I mean, I've never before said "I love you" within three months and meant it, and yet now...

It feels right.

Love can play really fast. And I'm sure a couple LI Regulars will say something about how relationships that move fast generally end fast.

Personally, I think you should give it a bit more time. Get to know her more. Make sure you have fallen in love with the person and not the idea.

Well, if I knew before hand you were asking for advice, my reply would have been the same as TNA's. Give it a bit more time. Lust (not saying that is all it is between you two) is very commonly mistaken for love and that "honeymoon phase" of relationships can get us all stupid and stuff. I still say congrats to you too, but maybe have a bit of self control and just stay engaged or even soon-to-be-engaged for a bit to see how it works out.

I hereby command you to listen to the Tom Leykis radio program, and cease this ridiculous self-destructive, ill thought out behavior immediately. Failure to comply will result in you ruining your life.

You're about 18 years old. You have your WHOLE life in front of you. To be tied down to another person at your age is probably one of the worst things you could possibly do. You're going to need to finish school. And after that, if you want to be successful, you're probably going to have to get a job somewhere, and take the best possible job offer you can get. Which potentially means moving from place to place, with at least some frequency. Also, you'll have to work significant hours.

A woman will prevent you from doing all of these things. Before you know it she'll be saying things like, "Why are you always working?" "Why can't you spend more time with me." "You don't need to finish school, go get a job." For every step forward you take, she'll push you three steps back.

It should also be noted that while she is probably a good lay now, and probably fairly hot, after women get married they inflate. I can almost promise that she will gain at least 50lbs after you are married, as she'll have no reason to maintain herself, as she'll have already succeeded in her goal of finding a man. And guess what? If it doesn't work out, 50% of your total earnings will be siphoned into her greedy pockets. This is California, justice doesn't exist if you're a man. A divorce will destroy you financially.

Speaking of finances, do you have any idea how much this relationship will cost to maintain? Especially if you get her knocked up (which is the WORST thing you could ever do). A child will entail you losing even more of your money to her, and it'll cost you dearly (monetarily) if you want to bring it up to the age of 18.

You should reassess your plan, as it isn't a good one.

I don't know, I proposed to my wife just two weeks after knowing her. And look where it got me xd

Certainly people know my stance on OLRs. However, there are the rare exceptions.

You are too cute. 4laugh

I still want those pics of you two. mad
My GD uh.. "picture gallery" WILL BE HUGE!

Aaaanyways.
If it works, dear I dont have a name for you yet, it works.

It's not an online relationship; I know her in person. Check the picture thread, my friend.

She's a half-hour drive away from me, and that's quite easy to do whenever I feel like it. We generally see each other weekly.

Besides, I honestly think that at the current time, it's best for us to have some time for ourselves.

We both have jobs, and I'm trying to get all of my old friends back to the closeness we used to have, not to mention an assload of other small tasks, like re-enrolling in modeling school and such.

Love is not a feeling.

It is a commitment to give totally of oneself, even when the recipient does not deserve it.


Love holds people together because it does not require that you always like them. What makes marriage work is love, not friendship. Sometimes when in love, people are not friends.

There are always bad times. But love holds on to the unity until the friendship returns.

But yes, I respect that. Waiting is a good idea.
