So, she bailed on me for tomorrow. The short version of her excuse: "I have homework...oh, and a cold."

The girl I used to like got in a relationship with a guy at her new school.

I have grown strong enough to not let my failure over the last 5 years to bother me.

[up][up]I'll say this, at least it was a creative excuse. Never before has there been a combination so debilitating.

Well, now I'm starting to wallow in my minor misery about this, thus escalating something that was more or less a minor setback into a full-scale "bawwww" in my mind. I hate when I do that. But, then, I was really looking forward to tomorrow—if nothing else, it was a change of pace, and I really, desperately feel like I need that. Also, I was kinda hoping something could come of it, but I always set my expectations way too high, no matter how much I tell myself not to.

"You should ask Ruby to the prom. She kinda likes you, and blah blah blah"

Let's take a moment to consider.

  • Cute. Mmkay. . .
  • Nice. Go on.
  • Christian.

LOL NOPE

Not if you're a polyamorous Pagan. Typically anyway. You have your oddball Christians.

Ah, right, context.

I've discovered that religion really is too big a thing for me to get over, in most cases. I can be friends with a Christian just fine, but dating them has always led to some fairly terrible results.

-Sigh-

Somewhere, there is a cool, single Pagan girl that isn't literally or spiritually family. Somewhere.

[up]You're not very devout though. It isn't so much of an issue if you rarely think about it and keep it quiet. My faith is a large part of who I am.

[up][up][up]*shrug* Different strokes, I guess. I'm Catholic, but the girl I'm most interested in right now is very much an atheist. Meh, I guess it's easier for some people to not think about religious issues when dating than others.

Odd I was discussing what I believed to be the potential issue with the topic on hand. Not my personal views on the subject.

Death the same goes to you. I don't care about your exception. You weren't the case I was providing a hypothetical for.

Just sayin' I doubt the vast majority of people who identify as Christian (particularly teenage ones) are going to see stuff like that as an issue when dating. It's not the 1920s anymore when a Jewish girl and an Italian guy wouldn't be caught dead together. (Hypothetical example)

Faith being an issue in romance is a thing with me and Weiss. We don't get into fights over it or anything but there are talks. Talks about what my end goal is going to be. Namely letting her go and leaving the world. She's fine with my faith and in fact supports it, but it's hard on her at times. I go through periods of taking the Eight Precepts which means that I can't idly talk with her and were she around me she couldn't so much as hug me let alone have sex with me.

I love her dearly and she knows that. I treasure our relationship and view it as highly important because it is so temporal and so short and she knows that. Yet at the end I must let go and keep walking. Till I reach the Other Shore.

^^I'm stating that your input was useless.

Odd1: Not an issue of what she sees as an issue. It's something I can't get over.

Squadron: Well, whoop-de-do. I'm glad that your faith is abstract enough that you can "guess" what it is and still be devoted to it, and yoj've found the most open-minded Christian girl ever. However, we aren't the same person, and your girlfriend isn't the same person as every other girl, either. You're also in an online relationship, and- from experience- it's a lot easier to ignore shit when you're not physically seeing it every day. Basically, "I made it work" isn't really an applicable statement here.

@Exe: It could be that she's interested in you because you represent something different to the Christianity she's used to. She might be interested in moving away from it. /shrug/ Never know without asking.

Faith is important for me too. Namely I need someone who gives as little of a crap about it as I do. I can see why Exe would have that issue. It must suck to encounter things like that.
