Nope. I really do like her, and she has a troubled past, and our becoming close is important to her. She had a rough marriage she's now out of, and although I posted here in a kind of lighthearted mood, it really isn't funny when dealing with someone who's screwed up but has many of the qualities I really want in a woman, primarily intelligence (for the most part) and that hardest to find quality--someone who "gets" me. I'm pretty unconventional, and most women are either taken or can't handle one of the things that make me up (either my politics or what I do when I'm not at my fulltime job, which takes up a lot of time.)
I thank you and the other FReepers who gave a pretty overwhelming response here. It's fun to read the funny comments, but in fact, I am starting to get sad. SHe's a very good person, with a great mind, but I don't see how something this important can be just skipped over.
You'll hate her before you know it. Sad but true. And BTW, she's not mentally out of that rough marriage, and she WILL take it out on you.
