Re: Item's move seems to be going well so far... [More:]Lesse: my 'gentle' advances are being brushed off, uh, gently. I can't figure this shit out. Meet at a show, two night's later I've got my few possesions moved into her house. She wanders arouond in the skimpiest of skimpies, gets me drunk, and isn't a hippie.

Oh, and she's 10 years older than I am. Did I mention that? She's an archetect working on a *big* project here in Austin & she's decided that my tattoos need to be incorporated into her design. Seriously. She showed me the plans and damn if those sidewalks don't look like my arms.

She's into cool rock shows, loves all my weird music, and arrrrrgh...

My head's spinning, guys. She calls me during the day just to see how I'm feeling, has given me a key to her house, and did I mention she's h-o-t-t hot?

I've got to take tonight off from her - well, after I cook dinner & we hang out for a bit. Going out with some friends & she can't do the midnight movie thing during the week.

I can't figure out if it's a momma bird thing or if she's into me. She forces me to laugh, wants me to be okay all of the time, and is pretty much treating me either like a long-time lover or a broken little bird.

I just finished with the wife thing, and I'm guessing that's scaring her a bit. Who the hell knows. This weekend she wants to have 'as much fun as possible', so it'll be then or never.

All this, and I'm in a town full of ex-flames that wouldn't mind getting a late-night call from me, which I'm ignoring in favor of all this.

I'm starting to remember why I both love and hate being single.
Oh, and as far as Froot Loops or lucky Charms? You know how great it is sometimes to mix two of your favorite cereals? Yeah.

She's a nut case. I'd go ahead and have the fun but keep an eye on your possessions, maybe put them somewhere safe.

Eh, she's the one locking up her journals while she's out of the house.

And I *always* win in the nut case dept.

We want pictures.

Pictures. Seconded.

Thirded.

At least she's not a bowl of Coco Puffs.

She's in momma bird mode. She might yet fall out of it - momma birds can be seduced, but you must seduce us them. ;-)

Yeah, I was going to post the same thing to the AskMe post -- I think that explains why she interpreted "make an ass of myself" the way she did. She knows you *just* got out of a relationship, you sound like you've been having a really hard time, and she may just be trying to be nice to you because you're in a bad spot.

Which, as mgl points out, doesn't mean it has to *end* there, but I'm guessing that's where her head's at.

'tis odd. Whatever is going on, I really don't think it's just a mama bird thing. The woman would have to be an imbecile to "wander around in the skimpiest of skimpies" and be surprised that it inspires more than baby bird feelings.

Maybe she's just taking it slow, and that's cool, and maybe extra smart... But maybe there's something weird here. Just look out for yourself, item.

No pictures. That'd be kinda weird.

That said, nothing's gonna happen. The time has come and, sorta sadly, passed. Definitely in momma bird mode, with a touch of incestuous flirting to keep baby bird happy.

As for cereals (and I'm not making this up), last night she offered me a bowl of Kashi Good Friends. Yup.

It's okay, though. It felt good to have a crush and not feel guilty about it, and I'm in the land of opportunity - and old flames.

I'm being careful, and the place I'm moving into should be ready in a day or two.

We may have cracked the whole relationship code thing here. Unsure of a lover? Hoping to "crank it up a notch" with a friend? See what kind of cereal they offer you! Honey Nut Clusters, Sugar Smacks? They want you bad. Rocky Road, Frosty O's? There's hard, hard times ahead, and not in a good way. Variety Pack? That's what we call breakfast... with sexy results!

All-Bran? Weetabix? Fuggid aboud id.

Sorry things fell through, item. But it sounds like you have plenty of back up, and now a good friend in the area -- win/win, really.
