Hmmm, so I have this neighbor, and she is extremely attractive. I am now single going on 2 months...me and my girlie broke up. To make a long story short, said neighbor and I have been talking for a while. We decided to do lunch one day, and hit it off pretty good. We went out one evening, had a great time. She was over last night watching a movie with me...had a great time. I am leary over this whole neighbor issue, and the potential drama it could cause. It seems to have benefits, such as: 1. I can walk 25 feet and see her. 2. She can walk 25 feet and see me. 3. Booty calls are much easier this way (no, we haven't had one yet) 4. She can watch me change clothes by peeping in my back window 5. I can watch her change clothes by peeping in her back window. Anyway, she's a really hip girl. She is independant, successful, has her own house, no debt, seemingly no previous relationship baggage (although I thought everyone had that), and is cute as a button. What to do? We have touched on the subject of "Since we are only hanging out/dating, what are we going to do when we have any other people we are seeing over?" We both said we'd communicate these things to each other. It is just awkward to know you may be dating more than one person, and one of them can watch your every move from right down the street.
haha.. I married the girl next door. Honest. But you're right, if doesn't work out, she will be right next door. If you rent, you can always move out if things get really weird. good luck.
If you guys are just hanging out, I don't see the problem, but you also said dating so I guess it is more than that(at least to you). I say if you both are in fact interested in each other, just let things play out. As long as it's not really serious, neither of you should have a problem with the other seeing other people. It's when you get serious that it should be an issue.
Interesting. No, neither of us are renting. We both have new houses, less than 2 years old....moving out is not an option. Dating is a strong term right now...we are not really dating. We have been out a few times, but I wouldn't say we're at DEFCON 1 yet.
Sounds like a bad idea to date other people. I'd keep it exclusive unless you like drama... because there will be plenty of it.
bwahahahahahaha you're screwed! here's an idea. Make a pact that you will sleep with her once, if you haven't already (then maybe a couple more times just for good measure--pun intended), then you both have to sleep with another person before you can have sex again, and you return to just watching movies and having bbq's, and picking out dates for each other. that might work...remember, the holy grail of dating in your 20s is the multiple girl thing with complete honesty and no jealousy. btw: the potential drama is NOT WORTH IT, unless you can figure out this multiple dating thing. otherwise: Don't Covet Dating Thy Neighbor.
I say go for it - it is all within your control. Just be a really nice guy and not put yourself in a position where it might be awkward if you ever break up. Simple, huh!
Then you probably deserve all the drama you get. But, since you're a fellow poster, I will nevertheless wish you luck in dodging the bullet headed your way.
Ironically, if you can believe this, my mother who lives in Syracuse has set me up on a blind date. This happened just yesterday. I live in Washington DC. Talk about the perfect situation to walk away from . If she wants to stalk me she's got about a six hour drive. I kid you not. This woman I'm going to date is 'supposedly' 22, a PA, 6'0, blonde, hot, and athletic. Her name, of all things, is Gretchen. That's a good name. And supposedly she is sweet to all her patients. I've never been on a blind date. This is my first, but the raw data has been good so far. I have not seen a photo of her yet, but I sent mine to her in an email. Waiting for a response.... Although I can't post her email, she has 'blondie' in the first part. I am very intriqued..... This may be a classic case of great expectations, but I'm game.
