I'm dating an Alien.

[Ryika]

I know people will not believe me, so I'll not even try to give evidence, because that won't change minds anyway. So let me just get to the point. For a week now, I have been dating an Alien. Yes, an actual Alien. Like, a being from outer space. He is almost a meter taller than me, and he looks unlike anything that I've seen in movies, so he's really hard to describe.

Well... "hard" is the wrong word to describe him, because he's not hard at all. But he isn't soft either. Touching him is a feeling that I have never known before, I am unsure if I can even say how he "feels", because the impression of "feeling" him does not only resonate with my hand, but instead takes place mostly on the level of thought. I do feel him like I would feel anything else, but at the same time, it is like his body transfers emotions into my head, emotions that override the actual feeling. It's fascinating.

Anyway. So I've been dating that Alien for a week now, and so far I'm really happy. At least I think I am, but the thing is... we can't really communicate. Well, he can, through his skin, and I feel like I really know a lot about him, where he's from, why he's here, and what he finds fascinating about me, why he chose me in the first place. And that he's happy as well, and wants to stay with me. I however feel like I can't share my appreciation for him at all. It is like.. well, watching a movie, just that the movie is speaking directly towards you, but you still don't have a way of tell the people in the movie that you appreciate them, too. When I talk, he does not react. When I show emotions, he does not react. I think he does not "understand", maybe not even recognize, what I am doing. His state of being is so different from my own.

I can't tell whether that bothers him or whether he's fine with me just being his girlfriend, or whether he's expecting more of me. The feelings that he conveys to me certainly don't make it seem like he is, but I don't know... I can't shake of that feeling of being a leech that just benefits from his devotion towards me. I feel like I'm not giving back enough, well, not giving back anything at all. Not because I don't want to, but because I am unable, physically unable to be exact, to give back.

It's an unusual situation that I've found myself in so I guess it's not really possible for anybody to give me direct advice, but any thoughts and suggestions on how I could start giving back some of the warmth that he has brought to me, and whether I should even try to do that or whether I should just continue to enjoy his presence, would be well appreciated.

Oh it's one of those threads again.

To assist us advising you, please provide us with a polite photo of your alien date.

I'm not sure if he even can be photographed, as I said, his state of being is unlike anything that I know. He's only really visible in a gloomy environment, because he... well, I don't know how to accurately describe it, the best way I can think of is that he gathers up the light around him. If it's too dark, he's not visible (well, nothing is visible when it's too dark). When it's too bright, it's like he's shining. That's really uncomfortable, and I only know that because he visited me earlier than usual on the fourth day, but I think he realized that it understood that it made me uncomfortable, which is why he only visits me once it got somewhat dark outside now.

So yeah, not sure if the camera can even catch his presence and what happens when I use the light of the camera to illuminate him, but I'll give it a try and let you know tomorrow.

He's just using you for the eventual anal probing

 

[Ryika]

Not funny. >_>

 

[caketastydelish]

Pics or it didn't happen.

No, that would be his cousin Paul.

Sounds like the only thing you can give back is the opportunity for this being to keep coming back. That is a good thing, until something is demanded, that you are unwilling to do.

I would like to hear why he chose you. Is he the first alien you've encountered? How did you meet?

 

[Narz]

Gonna make some intergalactic porn?

Yes, it's the first Alien I've met. At least... as far as I know. One would think that first meeting was a real shock, but it really wasn't, because he didn't just suddenly show up, instead, instead I was in the process of lying down, was reaching for my pillow when I got that strange feeling. I touched him accidentally and pulled back my hand pretty quickly, but those few moments that I was in contact with him were enough for him to convey the knowledge that I needed to understand that everything's okay. The moment my hand stopped moving towards me I had already understood what was going on.

The reason he chose me is once again not easy to explain, it's not like he told me in words, or that he actually gave a reason in the sense that we usually explain our behavior. It's more an inherent feeling of knowing that... well, more or less, that I posess exactly the right traits, strengths and weaknesses that he was looking for. Or maybe not "exactly the right ones", but at least as close as a human being can come, or has come in the pool of humans who are currently alive on Earth.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm representing him correctly there, because the ideas that he conveys are so different from what we humans are used to.

The alien probably already is.

 

[Ryika]

We're not having sex, I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually reproduce that way.

 

[bernie14]

sounds like a pretty good relationship....don't [snip] it up with your insecurities

What makes you so special?

Mind control, baby, mind control. You are on your way to intergalactic super-stardom, and don't remember a minute of it.

 

[Broken_Erika]

If he's from another galaxy, then it would be Extra-Galactic Erotica.

 

[Kozmos]

Tell Paul Ryan he needs to stop with these excursions. Central is not happy with such frivolous and expensive use of the black helicopters.

Why do you consider him your boyfriend if the relationship isn't romantic?
