should i open my big mouth or not?

[morgainefairy]

i've been debating all morning as to whether i should post this thread, so i had better make this quick before i change my mind.
i met this really kick-ass girl yesterday and she's leaving the state for 3 months in a few days. she doesn't really have to. her husband is in the army and she will be visiting family while he is overseas, but they still have their home here and all.
anyway, i really don't want her to go, but i don't feel i know her well enough to bring it up. in fact, i half feel i should just go with the flow and she'll be back soon enough.
so my question is this:
should i say anything or not, and if so, how could i possibly convince her to stay or even come back early?

funny thing is, she is a member here, so though it's unlikely she may even stumble upon this!
(guess that would be one way to get an answer, huh?)

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.



Sounds pretty guru-ish, don't it? LOL

 

[Never]

It sounds incredibly Guruish to tell the truth hun. Now for something incredibly Neverish.
Hows about you tell her how much you miss her and how you hope to see her soon. Ask for her phone number and tell her you'd love to keep in touch. Yes, a couple days is much too early to, you'd best go with the flow. Trust me, three months can go by in a heartbeat some days.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can hear your heartbeat, oops, it's now September.

Carpe diem! Et Carpe puellae! (that's seize the girl, but I probably got my case ending wrong.)

And gather ye rosebuds while ye may... (or just gather our own Rosebud while ye may. Either works for me. )

ummmm... any other literary/quasi-literary platitudes I can throw at ya?

 

[morgainefairy]

thx all. think maybe i'll go for the old-fashioned falling at the beautiful lady's feet and making her fear for her life.
j/k. i'm too wussy. just wish i weren't so damn impatient, ya know?

 

[julia1226]

Come with me!

Maybe you should just go with her.

 

[Merelan]

Okay, did I imagine this? Husband. I think you said she has a husband. I know this is going to sound crazy coming from me, but maybe you better let her go. Stay in touch though, a friend is always welcome. Go slow, ease into the friendship.

You met this MARRIED lady YESTERDAY??!!

What part of SHE'S MARRIED don't you understand? AND you met her yesterday? Are you really thinking clearly?

I know. This is really a made up story, right? Someone just posted it to get a reaction, right? And the answers, they are put ons,too, right?

"Gather your roserubs while you may." Ya really think that's a responsible answer?

I'm gonna suggest HANDS OFF!! That's a responsible answer and one that you probably don't want to hear. Go in search of a productive relationship with someone who is available. In my experience, stories like your's always end sadly.

I agree with Blue here. Isn't marriage difficult enough without a third party stepping in where they don't belong. You know, most marriages have there up and downs and certainly there are times during the down periods when it is easy to be drawn to other people. But that is usually a way of avoiding dealing with problems that need to be dealt with.

And you just met her yesterday? Come on man, show some respect for her and her marriage. The key word here is MARRIAGE! That says hands off to me! All you have to gain by it is causing trouble for two other people just because you had a whim.....

Oh doc...I don't want just anyone to gather me up...not too many get by my thorns to caress themselves with my soft petals. Now get your black bag and come here....

and Morgan..let it be.

 

[Jeff726]

Flamingo said it best. Intruding on another's marriage is wrong.

 

[Bonnie Wee Lassie]

Close your big mouth until she is single. If she stays married keep your feelings to yourself.

I must'of misread. My eyes must not be working.
Where did she say 'I want to sleep with a married woman'?
Perhaps you could infer that's what she meant but I, for one, simply took her explanation to mean she wanted to have a relationship with her; not necessarily a sexual one.
Come on Morgan, am I clueless here or what?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Something for nothing.

 

[Gil]

Doc,

Believe "puellam" is the objective case. Your use of puellae <possesive case? - "Sieze the girl's..."> left us hangin'...

Carpe puellam or perhaps Carpe puellae pudendum...your call.

 

[morgainefairy]

never:
yeah, you have more of the right angle here. i'm not trying to break up marriages--i'm married myself.

also, to clarify--i had actually met her face to face for the first time that day. we talked for a week or so beforehand(not that that's much of a difference!).

julia:
i can't go with her. how many states away? how many responsibilities? oh, and with my eye, now prob isn't a good time to bring up an extended absence!
