	Well, all I can say is that the Catherine I know would not (to
my knowlegde) wouldn't turn me down for a roll in the hay.  I kinda
like that after thinking that my four year experience with someone
held nothing in the physical dept.  But I don't complain one bit.

	And maybe this is something for the Sex Advisor.

	I am wondering that even though Catherine is playful, and
sometimes asks to play...  I wonder if we are playing too much.  We
talk and all, and the discussions are often full of interesting
things about her and me that we needed to know.  But sometimes, I
think we play too much for her tastes.  I have asked her about it.
She says that she enjoys doing that type of thing, but is it too much?
I know it is a tough question, but I think I need it answered, or I
need backing up on my thoughts.
	Catherine is something special to me.  I like her mind, her
body, and how she presents herself.  I think this could be the one.
But that makes me even more fearful than anything else in the world.
I suppose this is quite normal?  But I don't DARE say anything about
marriage.  For one, I am not completely ready for it.  I want to be
out of college and into the world with a bit of cash.  Two:  I think
she might run away from me from fear of that kind of thing.  Three:
Both of us are still young, and we have a lot to look forward to in
life.  I know.  I am screwed in a corner.  I just hope she will marry
me if I happen to ask someday.  :)  Love to you all.

We are still trying to work out a time...it's looking like it will be in Dec.
sometime unless ex MaineChatters want something out here sooner...:) I had

that it is an ex chat, I'm flexible. So...who is interested? email me, and in

the name good.  But I will take Cat, since my girlfriend can purr.

Rip, Rip, Rip [Darn that echo]

Can't we trust you at all?  If she said that to *all* the cueballs who 
walked by, she'd go way past exciting to worn out!  Not nice at all!
Besides, after all the "This Could Happen To You" films, you'd think 
you would be advocating restraint.  Her moniker may imply otherwise, but
I don't think Evie is that kind of woman anyway.  If she is, I hope she
let's me know *real* soon!  (Did I say that?  Yep, I did.  Shocking.)

Okay...Exciting places to go for vacations...Hmm.  Someone suggested 
Bangkok, Thailand.  I would heartily agree (even though it is many years
since I lived there).  There are tons of things to see and do in and
around there, from the cultural, to nightlife, to shopping.  Or, if you
prefer something a bit more along the lines of Europe, I would suggest 
either Amsterdam, in the Netherlands or the south coast (Costa del Sol)
in Spain.  

Or, if your budget is a bit limited, or you just don't want to spend the
whole time travelling, consider this:  You live real close to one of the
biggest tourist-towns in the world, full of sites to see and clubs and 
bars and the day never ends in DC (if you know the right place to go).
So go somewhere else!  A lot depends on what you consider exciting...
I know people who've driven most of a weekend to have pizza in Chicago.
Some of the best seafood you can eat can be found in New England, but 
outside of Boston, you won't find it's much of a party place.  Most of 
the NE states still have pretty strict blue laws.  If you like the south,
Tampa, FL and Atlanta, GA are both good for a rockin' time.  Northern 
California (Santa Cruz, San Francisco, and Monterey) and Hawaii are very
nice, but fairly far, expensive, and twenty times better if you have a
friend who lives in the area to show you the unspoiled parts.  Even 
closer to home, there's New York right up the way (I'd go by train, and
not even *attempt* to drive in the city), or head for the beach...
Ocean City and Virginia Beach are both options.
