My son tells me, from time to time, that he's leaving and going to the store (which is down the block, across a HIGHWAY, down another half block or so...).

He's about to turn 3.

When I tell people he tells me that, I add that he could probably make it there and back just fine all by himself.
And they. freak. out. as though I had just sent him out the door to get a gallon of milk or something.

Just because he COULD do it doesn't mean I'm going to LET him. *sigh*
I'm not quite as crazy as I look.

My Mother has always asked me these crazy questions about my care for my kids. For example we went to Niagara Falls last year, her question for me was, You're not going to let them stand to close to the fall's are you? So me, Mrs. Sarcasm said, yes Mom barrels, we are planning on buying the family barrel plan and going over the falls. My step Father liked that one.

When my son was born I mean newborn, like a month old, Jen why don't you have a gate on these stairs? I guess she thought he was super baby and could walk that young.

I hear Heaven has awesome burritos. :p
How can they not be? They're heavenly :D

Welcome back, shobro, at least, this is the first post of yours I've seen. The Enemy was just attacking you and the guy at odds with you was understanding you a whole lot better after I'd spoke to him; 'course, we have gracey to thank, too, for PMing you things. Christ is our HOPE and we should hope in Him for ALL things of our life, you said that so well to that guy, brother :)
-------------------------
and, to pickynicky: I'm hoping I don't sound mean when I say the guy should ask the girl out. I just think it's best that way. Guys just get thoughts and things in their head (did you know, there's a study that says we think about sex every seven minutes?) and if you do the asking it can give a wrong guy the wrong idea of you saying 'no' to him in advancing 'bases,' just to say. I hope I don't say that crudely, crossly, or, out of the ordinary. The Lord leads. :)
And, admittedly, I think, a girl is very brave to even THINK to ask a guy out, I just don't think it's a great idea. Girls can be 'brave' in other ways to guys, like I said, giving them clues you like them until they just either like you or they don't, they will ask you out or they won't :)

Ok. I asked if he wanted to go for coffee sometime. He said sure, when and where? He was too bloody nonchalant about the whole thing. Like it's two friends going out -.-

Some guys will act like its not a big deal when inside they're really going.. "YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" :D

But it could go either way.

I just don't want to give the impression that friendship is what I am seeking. I don't want to get friend zoned

Don't poo poo the "friends" thing just yet yanno...don't you want the man who sweeps you off your feet that you fall deeply in love with to be your friend as well as your lover???? ( I totally understand what you mean & I'm not trying to downplay what you said) But yanno...he said yes to coffee...so that's a good start!

Have been reading the posts regarding this particular subject. Sounds like the fellas have made some pretty good suggestions/comments.

In my heart, you have courage. :) I sincerely wish you all the best and as iTOOKtheSKY stated, a friend as well as a lover. There's just something special about that type of relationship. When it is built as a friendship first. :) :)

I could not and would never take the first step with a guy as in hoping for a date or that type of thing. No. Nada. Ain't doing it. I'm traditional in my heart and for some they consider it a "new day and different time" but sighs...I'm old and probably set in my mind regarding some things. Maybe I'm too chicken, I don't know. LOL LOL In my heart I'm a lady and want to be "wooed" as a lady.

Please, what I shared was in no way said to discourage you or to say what you did was wrong. Again, you have courage and best of wishes to you. :) Enjoy that cup of coffee. :)

Yes.

I have some friends who just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary who started out just this way. She asked him out for coffee, then during the course of the evening, he asked her out, saying "We should go on a REAL date." I guess in his mind, that wasn't a date because it was super casual, and he didn't ask her. Anyway, it ended up working for them.

Relationships would be really easy to figure out if it weren't for all those....people.

10:41, and I feel like I should be asleep already. But I'm afraid if I try to right now, it might not end well for me.
