Too early to call?

Remember how I said I was in love with my best friend's girlfriend? Well I met someone, whom I feel even MORE strongly towards (and she feels as I do), has everything in common with me (we even finish each other's thoughts), is gorgeous, and I couldn't be happier with her. She's a talented artist, in more ways than one;
She plays guitar, sings (exceedingly well), and paints (also very well). I think I was supposed to meet her. She may be "The One".
Also, now that I've found true love, I recognize that I only love my friend's girlfriend as a friend (though she's one of my best friends, top 5 at least). I also completed my first semester at college with a 3.65 GPA, am gearing up for my next semester (and am ready to completely floor my last GPA), finally have a real muse (in my girlfriend) and am feeling truly creative in a way I haven't felt for years. I'm finally going to get my pipe-making business going, and I just feel great. Is this what you call happiness or is it too early to call? I mean, this all happened very suddenly, I only started dating her on the 7th though we talked nightly on AIM before that, in late december. I'm pretty sure it's real because I'm at a point in my life where I'm ok with being alone, but now, I don't have to be!

 

I'm sure it's just a phase. You'll be miserable again in no time.

 

That gave me such a laugh, Japes. Thank you!

 

I snortled a bit at the bus stop.

 

Over the holidays I met up with a girl I went to highschool with and hadn't seen for six years. She is now my de facto girlfriend, but she is hesitant about committing to a long-distance relationship. In the past I might have pressed the issue, but after a two-year stretch without a single legitimate date, I guess I've learned some patience. My new philosophy on dating is this: if it's meant to be, it'll be. If it isn't then it won't and there's no point in getting bent out of shape over it.

 

I had a good reply that was insightful and everything but then the site decided to be gay and take to long to process. So now all I'll say is this. Its too early to call out like that, everyone feels this way in a new relationship.

 

Why date when you can have lots of casual sex?

 

Please don't allow the following to belie how pleased I am for you, but be your own bloody muse.

Is this really something you should be sharing with a bunch of strangers in the Internet, Grakelin?

 

I thought your philosophy was "Don't ask, don't tell"?

Wouldn't want them to use the information against me...?[/quote]

 

Keyword is "New".

 

He obviously had to change his philosophy when "Don't ask, don't tell" was repealed. Plus I'm certain he's straight.
I'm doing my best to not e overwhelmed by the rush of emotions I'm feeling, but it just feels so natural to be with this girl that it's hard to take it slow. It's like I already know her, and we just started talking. Plus, it's too late now, we already had sex. If this doesn't work out I'll be crushed, but I'll quickly regain my composure and resign myself to a life of celibacy.

 

I disagree with approximately 1/3rd of this statement.

 

Celibacy? You did say I should just have lots of casual sex.

 

Actually, it was that you'd quickly regain your composure. I'd have said eventually instead of quickly.

I think that actually makes my point. Casual is better.

Minigames are where it's at, bro.

 

Yeah, I fudged a little bit to make myself look cool.

 

You need to slow down, Gross, lest you scare people away. That said, I'm very happy for you and wish you luck.

 

I know I need to slow down. It's just really hard to keep things in perspective. I've got a semester of school to start on wednesday, so I'm gearing up for that, and I'm spending the weekend with her starting friday, and already I'm like "Ugh. School." I haven't even gone in yet!
