Random Raves ΜΔ: Crate Expectations

Went fine, I was barely well enough to rally.

You remind me of a younger me!

I'm so madly in love.

I've been thinking about him ever since I got home this afternoon, no one has ever made me feel like he does. I can tell he really truly loves me and cares about me, and he makes me feel so special. He loved my new outfit on Friday, and he told me he was having difficulty driving because I was so beautiful. I had such a wonderful time this weekend at my spa resort trip, I want to be with him forever, I could just listen to him talk all day. He says such wonderful things to me, but it's not just what he says, it's like everything he does, you know what I mean? He's so kind, and gentle, and thoughtful, and he knows just how to make me feel good, I'd do anything for him.

And I know he's been thinking about me too, he just sent me a text message saying "You are a goddess. I love you."

I thought I would never find love like this, I didn't know I could feel this way or like someone could make me feel like he does.

I'm so sorry, I'm probably being really annoying, but I don't have facebook and I just needed to "rave" somewhere. Thank you so kindly, all of you.

he told me he was having difficulty driving because I was so beautiful.

Yes, you are beautiful, but this set off my BS alarm.

Q: Is he ever truthful enough to tell you something you don't want to hear?

 

[Takhisis]

Sorry to burst your balloon or other metaphor, Mary, but I did get the same impression before Zkrib's post even got to load. I am a self-admitted paranoid [word that sounds a lot like ‘buzzard’], but still. It may just be that he sounds incredibly kitsch.

Enjoy the euphoria! If love is not madness, it is not love.

"When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden."

I hope it is good, marykb
As zkribbler said, you do look very good, yet you should be careful and not be carried away with hearing such things!

Wow, and I thought I was cynical.

 

[MaryKB]

Oh dear, I didn't even think that way, I thought he was being really sweet.

I'm not sure you realize how much effort I put into my appearance on Friday, lol! I spent a lot of time styling my hair, and doing my full makeup. I bought new lipstick, I plucked my eyebrows, I tried to make my lashes perfect, I fussed over every perceived flaw on my face. And I also had been planning for over a week, I spent all week breaking in a new pair of heels, and I bought new clothes like my tights and miniskirt (along with my shoes!) He's literally never seen me dressed like this before, and I was really anxious to see if he'd like how I did myself up, I honestly spent hours on Friday in excited anticipation waiting for him to come and see how he'd react.

And I'd been suffering through a really bad period that started Friday morning, I thought my weekend was going to be really uncomfortable (I ended up being okay, I guess most came on Friday and my tampons did their job)

And I totally imagine he may have been exaggerating, like I know he's a good driver, but he made me feel good. He said lots of wonderful things to me, like how he was so looking forward to seeing me. And he was just going on and on about how amazing I looked, about how he loved what I did with my hair, how he liked my lips, he loved my skirt and tights, he said he's never seen anyone looking so gorgeous. He told me how much he loves me, how I'm the best thing that's ever happened in his life, and he said he thinks about me all the time. He told me how beautiful I am, and he said as much as he remembers me when we're apart, he's so amazed when he sees me again because he says his imagination and his memory just can't do justice to how beautiful I really am. I believe he's genuine, but even if he was just saying those things I don't really care lol, I loved how he made me feel.

And in our room he was talking to me about how he's so looking forward to marrying me and how he can't wait, and we talked about how we imagine our lives together next year, and he talked to me about trying to have a baby, all I can say really is I felt almost like I was living in some kind of dream. I've been thinking about him all night.

I've never really felt myself to be beautiful and attractive before, please know I've spent most of my life living through emotional abuse, from my parents and my ex boyfriend, and I've never been particularly popular with boys. I've tried seeking attention from men to help my self esteem, but I've never been really good at it, and I've never been treated by a guy like my fiance treats me now. I've had really bad luck with men my whole life, it's like I've always attracted creepy and abusive types or something, probably because I'm super shy and I appear vulnerable maybe, so it's a new experience for me to be treated so well by a man, you know what I mean? I've never felt like this before in my life, I feel like for once I'm going to be really happy, and on Friday he just took me there. You know how it feels when you've really built something up in your mind, and then when it happens it's even better than you were hoping? Well that was me on Friday, lol! And I was more than happy to do everything he wanted that I could given my condition, and this was one of the best weekends of my life.

So basically I guess what I'm saying is, when conditions are just right you totally can't overdo it with your compliments, lol!

FFS even if it isn't literally true it's still a sweet thing to say...

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I'm glad about it and hope it keeps going very well. But make sure to try not to let your heart overwhelm your head too much. That's what I would suggest.

 

[Farm Boy]

<shrug> I find my wife distracting in the passenger seat, still, sometimes. We're almost 15 years in.

I mean, it's often hormones, but isn't anything wrong with that!

 

[Kyriakos]

Well, if i am distracted by a pretty girl i just look around, see athens, and no longer feel charmed

 

[MaryKB]

Oh dear, you really don't like Athens very much at all, do you?

 

[Lexicus]

I am jealous of MaryKB's feelings, I haven't been really infatuated with a woman, the way she's describing her relationship with her fiance, in a long time. Basically all the women I've ever felt like that about have not reciprocated.

Also FtR I have nearly died on my bike twice in the last few months because I craned my neck to keep looking at strikingly gorgeous women I saw on the street, instead of looking where I was going.

 

[MaryKB]

Oh dear I'm so sorry @Lexicus, I really do hope my posts didn't make you feel bad. I sincerely hope with all my heart you do find a happy relationship and you feel again like I do now, I'm glad at least you seem to be saying you've felt that way before (I hope I read your post right?) with someone. I guess I'm just sort of getting carried away, I'm just sort of feeling over the moon right now, and I've never felt this way before.

My last time I remember being distracted by a stranger was back in spring. I was sitting here in my office, and it was a beautiful day, so I had my windows open. And I heard this weird loud noise from outside, sort of like a rough rumbling or grinding sound, so I got up to look outside. And then suddenly I see this college-age boy rolling by on his skateboard, and he was just so beautiful. He had his shirt off and he was standing with his body turned towards my house, and he was just really, really fit. And his skin was a gorgeous brown color, like bronze. And he was sweating, I could see his muscles shining, and his hair was plastered to his neck, and I just remember thinking "Oh my!" Every day I was hoping he'd go rolling by again, but he never did.

Well, love is not a constant state of enthusiasm, but when its going good, I'd guess even Athens doesn't matter quite so much.

 

[Lexicus]

Oh dear I'm so sorry @Lexicus, I really do hope my posts didn't make you feel bad.

They don't, no need to apologize.

I sincerely hope with all my heart you do find a happy relationship and you feel again like I do now, I'm glad at least you seem to be saying you've felt that way before (I hope I read your post right?) with someone.

Well, I've had really strong feelings for a few girls I've known, and they either didn't reciprocate at all or the timing was off. I'm in a happy relationship now, it's remained casual because we have mutual attraction and affection but we're not really infatuated with each other. We have also talked and both agree that we aren't "falling in love" or what have you, we are dating while we're both in DC but she is graduating from her masters program in a year and doesn't know where she'll end up, and I am probably going to go back to school at some point myself. Neither of us intends to derail our life plans (however vague they might be at this point) for the sake of our relationship.

I didn't mean to imply that I'm unhappy or suffering particularly, just that it would be nice to be head-over-heels with someone. OTOH I am probably being a little silly because, honestly, the intensity of those feelings can be scary and unpleasant sometimes (for me anyway). And obviously that vulnerability can leave you in a lot of pain if things go wrong.

Surely you mean envious rather than jealous? The latter has other implications...

Also, third time's a charm

whoa man

Well, I'm actually for the first time in years at a point in my life where I would prefer not to do die so yes haha you made a funny but I mean not really.

 

[Manfred Belheim]

ｃｏｌｌｏｑｕｉａｌｌｙ　ｔｈｅｙ＇ｒｅ　ｉｎｔｅｒｃｈａｎｇｅａｂｌｅ

Well that just means that there are two separate concepts that you can no longer distinguish between colloquially. So that's nice I guess.

Well, I'm actually for the first time in years at a point in my life where I would prefer not to do die so yes haha you made a funny but I mean not really.

That's even grimmer than what I said :/
