One thing, no repercussions.

[islandjoe2]

If you could do one thing, anything, without fear of repercussion of any type... No fear of dying, destroying a marriage, or hurting someone else, etc.... What would it be?

It could be something as shallow as a romantic rendezvous with a movie star, robbing a bank, or something a little more profound such as telling somebody how you really feel about them...

 

[islandjoe2]

I would buy a dozen roses, fill the tank with fuel, and drive to her right now...

Destroying all the terrorists in the world.

that's a good question...

i'd probably tell people off for trying to "fix" me all the time.

or take over the government and show those conservatives how it's done!

unfortunately nothing romantically interesting for me as i have no crushes in my life.

may i ask what stops you from doing this?

 

[islandjoe2]

may i ask what stops you from doing this?

Sure, you can ask...

There is no groundbreaking revelation or anything to go with this... Just the normal fears that accompany any affair of the heart... Fear of rejection, fear of hurting them, fear of commitment, fear that they don't like the same type of desserts as you...

i feel sad this is all that is stopping you.

what if you're not rejected.....what if they don't get hurt....what if you enjoy the commitment to someone you care about...

and they may introduce you to an even better dessert!

You're allowed to have different desserts, didn't you get that memo? Or are you worried you won't be able to nick any of hers if she chooses one you don't like?

But. Feel the fear.... And do it anyway...

 

[curvyangel1969]

This is quite the thread choice. I will have to give it some long thought as to what I would like to do.

Thank you both... Outside the realm of this thread, showing up on her doorstep would have immediate real-world consequences... Even if I suspended the fears I noted above, I doubt it would go as planned, haha.

Hence the freedoms of the thread, I guess...

For me, one would be to tell her exactly what her son thinks of her, after all the stunts she's pulled over the years. I'm not at all proud of that, and I'd never do it, but there it is.

I'm sure I'll come up with a more cheerful one, at some point

1-800-Flowers, FTD, Amazon ... send those flowers along with your phone number. When she calls, it very well be the start of something beautiful. And, even if she never does ... you'll know you tried.

Really, unless you're married or she's married, start driving. It sounds like you have a ways to go, so maybe buy the roses when you get there.

It doesn't need to go as planned to be amazing. And if it really does go as badly as you believe it will, why are you hanging on. Either way, I think you need to start driving. (Just don't do it in a diaper. That never ends well.)

Unless you are shagging Obama's wife or the woman you are talking of is the moll of a Columbian Drug Baron go for it.

 

[islandjoe2]

Such good people here, and I always appreciate interacting with all of you, and I appreciate everybody's input, truly.

I really did not intend for this thread to turn into a " solve Joe's love woes" discussion. Surely you all have something you have always wanted to say or do, but did not want to reap the negative benefits?

Me and you aren't cool but I can't stay silent on this one.

Go tell her how you feel. Pour your heart out. You will either get the beautiful gift of life changing love or closure. Waking up in regret for the rest of your life wondering if I could've, I should've is a special kind of hell. If you love her you have to be brave enough to take the hits.

I would walk into work and announce..
"I've had enough of this nonsense.. I'm in charge from now on!"

and.. on the "throw yourself at love" thing..
no. love isn't just a matter of the heart. it's a matter of many hearts. if there is something in the air that tells you to wait, you should wait.

Eta: Love and I are currently at odds with one another or I'd give advice to Joe.

Yeah, the hubby might be waiting at the door with a shotgun

As for me, head to Vegas for a week of dissolution

Create a nano bug that makes the sweat of any Terrorist attract swarms of killer hornets who will paralyse and lay there eggs inside so the offspring feed on them.

Body surf at a NIN concert - all to way to the stage w/o being dropped or groped excessively. Oh yea, and since I'm up there, I wanna rock out with Reznor.

Could not agree more. There is hesitation there and usually for a good reason. You show up unsure, it will definitely end in the way you fear.

Oh and I would for sure drive a top fuel dragster. 1/4 mile in 3 seconds...hell yeah.
