Been going out with my boyfriend for 1 day, and already sexual?

So after going out with someone for 1 day, one becomes boyfriend & girlfriend? You said you went "out" with your boyfriend---where did he take you for your first date?

You new boyfriend of 1-2 days doesn't seem to be upfront with his personal truths--like the fact that he hasn't broken up with his girlfriend, especially when he's trying to get in your bloomers. How do you for a "fact" that he will break up with his girlfriend "this weekend?" Does that mean by 12 midnight, Sunday, February 24th? Or is he talking the March 1st-3rd weekend?

You do not want this relationship to be all about sex, but you've been sexual with him on day 1 and day 2. That being said, I don't think I'd expect to hear "I love you's" anytime soon, and if you do, I'd seriously doubt the sincerity of the statement. I mean he's cheating on his girlfriend and has you waiting in wings. He hasn't even emotionally separated or processed the conclusion of his current relationship. Do you think that just because he tells her he is breaking up with her that everything will suddenly be ham and jam for the two of you---because they won't. Tell me---who takes a break-up sitting down? If his current girlfriend just saunters away quietly into the night---I will be darned surprised.

You see, if you want a relationship like the one you describe above, you need to make sure that any new fella who is interested in you is relationship-free and has taken adequate time to sweep-up the fall-out from the old relationships. Then you need to begin a process that is called "courting." Courting is a process wherein the fella calls you up, ask you out on a date, you go to a movie and then out for drinks, and you may or may not kiss him at the end of the night and if you do kiss him at the end of the night, you keep light and sweet. Then you go out on a second date that this gentleman has arranged; you go to a friend's party, or you go listen to a favorite band and then he takes you home and you kiss goodnight.

Then you go on a third date---this date might be a little more romantic---out to a nice restaurant, bottle of wine and afterwards, as it seems clear that you two are enjoying one another, you discuss your feelings about sex and your preference to wait until you know someone a little better---well enough to know that if you do jump in the sack with him 1) you won't have that sickening awkward feeling when you awake in the morning; and 2) you are confident in the knowledge that he is going to call you again. THAT is how you get the type of relationship you are looking for.

So, now you're wondering if having waxed his wood on the first "date" followed by jerkin' his gerkin the next day at his house might a bad omen for the future of the relationship. You are worried that sex will be the only common denominator in the relationship if one develops and you'll be mistaken and used as a sex bunny.

All I can say is this: YOU CANNOT UN-RING A BELL. Done is done. There is no going back. The standard has been set. I do not think you will ever attain the "real" type of relationship you crave with this guy or any guy---one that develops out of friendship and respect; one where he makes an effort to court you and let you know he is interested in you and you alone; one where you feel emotionally intimate with him before becoming physically intimate with him.

If that is what you want, I don't think this is the guy for you. He's a bit of a clod and a horndog. You have to stick to your standards when you begin dating someone and remember what Dr. Phil says: You teach people how to treat you. Go to your local library and get some books about dating---there are all kinds and take from these books what you will. Oh, and while you're there, check out the book, "He's Just Not That Into You." THAT will be your Holy Grail of dating books. Good luck, sister. I wish I could have an update on how this thing unfolds.

Did AnyBody Else Have A Boring Day =/?

A day in the life… sort of

A long, long time ago (last Tuesday) in a land far, far away (actually about a 10 minute walk) there was a knight who happened upon a huge castle. (Actually, our library is pretty small.) It seemed fateful that on this very day there was a maiden (rather plain looking older lady working at the library) trapped inside suffering great peril! Just than a handsome knight arrived (that part’s true) and inquired of the maiden what was troubling her. (I asked the old lady why she looked confused.) The maiden spoke of an evil force blocking her way to freedom (the computer was down) and asked the handsome noble knight for assistance. (She said, “what you think it is?”)

Filled with fury and a keen sense of adventure the knight charged through the huge labyrinth and came across the beast and did slay it with a mighty blow! (I turned the computer off than restarted it.) The maiden was overcome with joy! (She cursed under her breath.) The knight than turned and went about his heroic business. (I went to check my e-mail.) In the hamlet below that mighty castle there are stories of the brave knight and his heroism to this very day! (She left a note for the next shift.)

Trudging on for days through an immense forrest (I walked down the road for a minute or two) the knight came upon his greatest foe yet! (There was some ice on the road.) After a fierce battle he escaped the wrathful grip of his foe (I walked around it) just in time as the earth itself, protesting such evil swallowed up the foul beast forever! (A salt truck came by…)

Continuing on his heroic journey, after many more weeks of wandering the wilderness, our hero the great knight had finally arrived at his destination! (About a 5 or 10 minute walk to the post office) His package for the king was of paramount importance (I was sending off a resume) and haste in his travels quickened as he saw the citadel up ahead. (I sauntered towards the door) The king was thrilled to finally receive his important documents of crucial state matters (the postal worker looked annoyed when I handed him nickels) and declared the knight a national hero! With great pomp and celebration the knight left the dwelling of the king feeling a sense of great pride! (The door clipped my shin on the way out.)

After all his adventures the night finally decided to retire to his modest castle on the mountain top as there was no more peril distressing the nobles and maidens of this great land. (I started home as there is really nothing to do in this town.) Even in this last journey there was adventure as he yielded passage of a great heard of buffalo (stoplight) and crossed a mighty river (bridge over the stream). At last he climbed the mountain where his home stood and entered in triumph! (I walked up the hill and let the dog out.)
