OT Have I lost my mind!?

-Been there, done that, and it works....been married 33 years.

If Indiana let everthing South of US 40 be annexed by Kentucky, the IQ of both states would improve substantially.

When I was 17 I had a simmilar intrest in a girl who was 2/3 the way across the state, she was not as famous as this one but bout as pretty. I got that same kick in the gut every time I was round her. I put several thousand miles on my lil pick up going to see her. Did not work out, was bitter for a while, years later the mimory brings a grin. You need to find some way to be honest with her. If you keep hunt'n her down after every show, she gonna think you are a sicko stalk'n her. Then you will have to deal with pepper spray, security, and local cops. Next time you see her, tell her how impressed you are and ask if you could talk to her some time. Tell her if she has time you would love to buy her dinner. That won't get you sprayed or locked up. If she blows you off. Go home with a cd and some good KY Bourbon and work it out. There is such a thing as love at first sight but if it is go'n only one way it is a crush and can not be much more. Hope the best for ya. If it works out hope we can all come to the wedding. Good luck and if you get the love thing figured out let the rest of us know.

A little whiskey will clear that right up. Nope, no need to call the doc, shrink, or therapist. Take two shots and see how ya feel in the morning...

J/K, but someone had to say it!

Carefull or you'll end up with some of these.

I'm carefully reading your post trying to determine where she weighs in on the heart monitor. I assume you are both approximately the same age. I know I was not too much for the often confusing dating/game playing thing. I consider myself a pretty good communicator. At some point in my relationships, if I continued to be interested, but was not sure where she stood, I (in good taste) had a flat out talk with her, stating I had enjoyed our relationship to this point and without looking into the future too far would like us to continue persuing it. Then I would ask her if she felt the same way. Like I said I'm all for timing, finess, romancing, etc. but I am a rather serious minded person and don't like wasting time, emotional energy, and money. I figured if the girl could not handle a rather straight forward discussion like this, they probably were not my type anyway, as I am a no nonsense type person. Generally I found I was well received and appreciated in so doing.

We will be married 22 years as of June 2. It has not been 22 years of blissfull romance, but we have a real relationship facing/living life together. We've been through soem pretty big challenges. She's true blue. I love her. She loves me (that's the amazing part).

If I were to find myself in my early twenties all over again, I'd face dating with the same practical approach. It works for me.
