Subject:Francine & I are no longer dating
Time:10:11 am
Current Mood:[mood icon] relaxed
So, why? Because we just don't have the chemistry we both want.

We're still friends, and we're both doing pretty well. It was definitely the best breakup either of us have ever had. We talked on the phone (and then on Skype when her cell phone died). Laughing, and crying together over the phone. The best part was when we were acknowledging each other different for things.

Within the context of Landmark Education, "acknowledging" someone actually means more than normal. So it was really touching and fun to get to acknowledge her, and to be acknowledged.

And the training that both of us have gotten at Landmark helped make that easy/gentle breakup possible. Every time one of us would get on it, we could realize that we were feeling like "I'm a jerk for breaking up with her", and that wasn't actually true. And so we could let it go, and not be controlled by that feeling any longer.

So, the relationship was [april 22 - october 9] = about 25 weeks, nearly 6 months.

Oh, and I'll be hanging out with her when I come down for Thanksgiving, so have no fear about inviting both of us to events.

Subject:I asked out Francine :)
Time:11:59 pm
Current Mood:[mood icon] happy
As you may have noticed, I've been spending a lot of time with a beautiful woman named Francine.

I asked her out, and she said yes. :)

To answer the question I've been getting a bunch of times already: yes, I had been planning to stay single until I went to grad school. But, I realized that I was using that as an excuse to not commit.

I've actually had similar issues come up with other things, where I decide to not do something now, so that I have the chance of doing something else later. I've decided to stop doing that; "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" as the saying goes.

And, the other thing I realized is that I'm actually willing to consider a Long Distance Relationship with Francine. That's something I've almost never been willing to consider, until now.

So, yes. This is your official notice. :)
