Moving On Up..

Hello everyone!

I'm glad you all got to catch up with Miranda the other day. I apologize for my disappearing act, but I am moving on Tuesday and I'm pretty sure we all know how crazy that can be.

I'm heading down to the Boston area for the weekend and am looking forward to the relaxation time. Like M said though, hopefully we will take the city by storm at some point, it's been far too long.

I especially feel sorry that I've been away from the computer due to the fact that we had a reader that sent us some email and unfortunately I never got around to posting it for him to get YOUR feedback.

He writes:

About a week ago I met this girl at a bar. I think we clicked very quickly. We exchanged numbers and I called her the next day (I don't ilke to follow that whole "don't call right away" rule if the vibe is right). So we made plans to hang out on Sunday night after she got out of work. We had a great time joking around, making fun of each other, and eating food.

Here's the request for advice part.

I like this girl quite a bunch (with the personalities clicking so well). When that happens, I think about a girl constantly. Not in the stalker-ish way. I just do. I want to talk to them. My "fear" in these situations is two-fold. On one hand I don't want to seem like a stalker and overbearing. On the other hand, I don't want to remain distant and come off as uninterested. What I'd like to know is how you suggest going about keeping my foot in door without overstepping the boundaries. I know each girl is different as far as what she considers to be bothersome, so any ideas as to how I could determine the limits would be great too.

We discussed this and wrote back personally to our reader, telling him to really think about her on a personal level, to go out a few more times and then judge from there how to go about it. Every girl really is different and there is no right or wrong answer, but we would love to hear what you guys have to add to this.

And just to keep things simple...

Tip #21: Don't forget your friends. Even when you're dating someone, take the time to spend with them (even if you're not, you should do this). I had such a lovely time with some of my friends recently and I hope those times never change. Also, if the person you're dating breaks your heart, they will still be there for you to lighten the blow. If the person you're dating ends up being "the one", you've got your maid of honor/best man all ready to go!
