The Sticky Wicket

This is a story of a girl. A girl who had met the boy, fell in love, was asked, accepted, and made the plans - only to be told 4 years later that it had been a good ride. This is the story of a heartbreak. And the possible rebuilding of Rome from the ashes.

Rules I Date By

The originals:

  • Do not date your friends.
  • Date nice Southern gentlemen.
  • Do not date frat boys.

The additions:

  • Do not live with someone unless you are marrying him.
  • If you (or he) don't know/decide in a year, it isn't "it"; "it" won't happen - move on.
  • Engagements should be short.

I think there's a nice learning curve here K, and that's important. I'm even more generous with the time frame *IF* the person has clearly indicated that they indeed intend to marry the person they are currently living with. (Yes, listen carefully to that. He/She may be saying something different that you imagine). I say under those mutually agreed upon conditions, it can be 2 years and out. I'm tired of hearing about 5-7 year 'engagements'. That's not an engagement, it's a trial marriage. But that should give everyone, including royal families enough time to prep for anything.

But hey, I'm glad to see you've picked up some more nice readers here, and that things have calmed down a bit for the moment. It's always nice to hear some hopeful news on the job front too.

Good Luck K! 'VJ'
