    This was, of coarse, bound to happen. I have an update for you, but it's not a good one for me. It's 12:17 AM where I am right now, somewhere just outside of Los Angeles. Crystal calls me a little while ago. The only problem being is that she's moving back to San Francisco effective Thursday because of a dying family member she is close to. So I guess my problem is solved. I'm definitely going to tell her how I feel about her before she leaves. But, it seems, my fortay with love had a few bugs and a couple of syntax errors. My love life IQ is one semicolin short of a complete program, and no matter how hard I try it won't compile unless I add that one simple symbol, but the key's stuck and I'm not smart enough to cut and paste it from a notepad document. And it seems when it comes to love for me I've got a frozen program, and no matter how many times I press "Control Alt Delete" Windows 98 won't work and what I really need to do is minimize everything and open pview95.exe. I've decided I should stick with that I know - programming - and forget this futile flirtation with romantic intrigue. If it counts for anything I am going to try and kiss her before she leaves. I really liked Crystal, a lot more than I liked any other girl, ever. Running your own business can be a lonely enterprise. Working alone, in a damp office with only the radiation eminating from the computer monitor to keep you comfort, can get lonely. Well, at least I have you guys. You seem to care. And that honestly counts for something.

      Jesus man... chill... You're acting like she's moving to China, when in fact she's only moving a few hundred miles away (if that). -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

        No, it's not a disaster. It's one freakin' girl. And as I said, I think she was a flake anyway. Stop being all wimpy and do what all guys do, read some porn! Here or here.

Well now, that sounds just like you got the right attitude to really fall in love ;) I remember getting to that point just before finishing university. I said to myself: heck, no time for bullshit, get to work on your master degree. I put all girly stuff aside and got to work and I didn't even notice when it got me, and seriously this time. Next thing I know I am 5203 miles away from home setting up the family... ;) It's kinda like fishing - it works when you don't pay too much attention to it... :cool:

                Ya know, I can handle the daily "What's your favorite xxxxxx" from Nish (although that's wearing a little thin too), but I'm not the slightest bit interested in your love life. I'm sure a lot of guys have liked Crystal, but we haven't heard from them yet, and I personally don't care that we ever do. If you wanna whine to someone about this crap, go find a priest or call your mother. Some folks may not agree with what I've just said, and they might even say that I'm being a complete prick, but I'm not here to be a freakin politician.

The only problem being is that she's moving back to San Francisco effective Thursday because of a dying family member she is close to. Is she coming back after the person dies ? Is that a heartless question ? If she's going to be going through a tough time losing a family member I'd suggest it's unlikely that she'd want to consider a new relationship on top of it all, but that she's probably in need of some good, supportive friends. As I recall she gave you her number first, and calls you often, so this is a time to be there for *her* in *her* situation, not to back away because the odds of a relationship right now have diminished.

                    I'm not sure disaster is the right word. My geography might not be very good but surely LA and SF are pretty close together. Not more than a day's drive away at worst. There is a very corny quote about distance not keeping good friends apart. You have her phone number, you have her address? It just means that you won't see her everyday. Don't give up now, but also don't rush things at the last minute. Real life isn't like the movies. Michael :-)

                        I could start spouting some crap about how now is the WORST time to confront her with your love as she is in a vulnerable and "assailable" position. I could continue by saying that you are being very unfair to launch this attack just as she is about to leave, putting her in a huge dilemna which just cracks her psyche in twain. I could say all of that, but I won't... Adam Arthur wrote: it counts for anything I am going to try and kiss her before she leaves. Hey, my only real advice is don't make a fool out of yourself by stumbling into a force kiss with her. Get her new number, get her address, buy some train tickets to LA. Romance her from affair and visit her. It will be a lot harder but she will notice it a lot more as you have to make a greater effort. Adam Arthur wrote: Well, at least I have you guys.

                          This was, of coarse, bound to happen. I have an update for you, but it's not a good one for me. It's 12:17 AM where I am right now, somewhere just outside of Los Angeles. Crystal calls me a little while ago. The only problem being is that she's moving back to San Francisco effective Thursday because of a dying family member she is close to. So I guess my problem is solved. I'm definitely going to tell her how I feel about her before she leaves. But, it seems, my fortay with love had a few bugs and a couple of syntax errors. My love life IQ is one semicolin short of a complete program, and no matter how hard I try it won't compile unless I add that one simple symbol, but the key's stuck and I'm not smart enough to cut and paste it from a notepad document. And it seems when it comes to love for me I've got a frozen program, and no matter how many times I press "Control Alt Delete" Windows 98 won't work and what I really need to do is minimize everything and open pview95.exe. I've decided I should stick with that I know - programming - and forget this futile flirtation with romantic intrigue. If it counts for anything I am going to try and kiss her before she leaves. I really liked Crystal, a lot more than I liked any other girl, ever. Running your own business can be a lonely enterprise. Working alone, in a damp office with only the radiation eminating from the computer monitor to keep you comfort, can get lonely. Well, at least I have you guys. You seem to care. And that honestly counts for something.

                          Get a grip, Adam! Your timing is off, so what? The lady has a family crisis on her hands, and all you're worried about is how inconvenient it is for you! That doesn't exactly demonstrate how much you care for her, does it? You're close enough for weekend visits, so show some support for her in what has to be a rotten time for her. By all means, let her know how you feel for her, but however the chips may fall, plan to visit her, and show some concern for her situation. Be there for her, put her needs a bit ahead of your own, and you might be surprised where it leads in the long run:-D Besides, SF is a whole lot nicer place to visit than LA. Just don't be dropping the ol' wallet...

                            Just like everyone (pricks don't count) already said. It's not a disaster. It's just some minor difficulties. Life almost never goes as it was planned and so your ability to adapt to situation at hand will decide your ability to achieve your goals. Don't give up. A lot of people have long distance relationships at this day and age. Sometimes it works even better than being next to each other every day.

                                    Ya know, I can handle the daily "What's your favorite xxxxxx" from Nish (although that's wearing a little thin too), but I'm not the slightest bit interested in your love life. I'm sure a lot of guys have liked Crystal, but we haven't heard from them yet, and I personally don't care that we ever do. If you wanna whine to someone about this crap, go find a priest or call your mother. Some folks may not agree with what I've just said, and they might even say that I'm being a complete prick, but I'm not here to be a freakin politician.

                                        Bad Idea. Telling her *now* when she's under external emotional pressure will only hurt. She knows she has to cope with the death of a family member, which is at the moment more important than anything else. Just now being there for her, with her, without requesting a response is much better an idea. Trying to kiss her is a bad idea in around 90% of all instances of this scenario.
