Two months of “kinda-close” friends before dating?

TMO, I say this as someone who knew his wife for nearly a decade before we started dating and dated for years before getting engaged: two weeks is way the fuck too soon to be thinking of kids and marriage no matter how long you knew each other beforehand. That’s not just “no” but “hell no”.

At two weeks, you’re not even at the “I feel comfortable farting in front of you” stage, never mind out of the honeymoon period, and decidedly not at a point where marriage or kids should ever enter the picture. You, quite literally, do not know him well enough to make that decision.

In your case specifically? I’m going to go ahead and tell you to save yourself the heart ache and end things now because your beau is already giving you the wave off.

This is not a situation where you’re going to have a lot of happy memories and adventures, followed by a mutually amicable break up. This is going to be a miserable slog for you and likely for him because he clearly sees what you are hoping for and he’s trying to tell you now that it’s never going to happen.

I am here from the future to tell you that you aren’t going to be able to make “this is a completely unserious relationship with a hard cut off” work

Seriously, I don’t know how much clearer this could possibly be. Read more “Two months of “kinda-close” friends before dating?” →
