I really believe there are people out there who appreciate it too...I just
seem to have a heck of a time finding them..even though I love this feeling
of being "IN LOVE" it really seems to be casuing me more stress than anything..
I am hoping I am not falling into to the trap of hearing what I _want_ to hear
and not really what is being said...*sigh*..but all in all I just can't drop
things..she makes me very happy when we are together..she makes me fell better
than I am, and the more time I spend with her the more I want too..I guess I
have to learn to control this..I sure don't want to scare her off..or rush things..

Its also nice to know that I am not suffering from some unique disorder with the
LJBF thing...that I am not alone in this vast universe thing...that there _ARE_
other romantic type out there..in my field of study you very rarely meet someone
whos idea of romance is very close to your own.
