Zargon Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 .....and oh yeah, ever think that some of the people here are older and or younger and NOT from California, making their culture ever so slightly different from yours? Not to mention how they were raised affects their views. As for the biblical reference, yeah.....I think Keyan has a slightly good point thinking back to previous discussions involving such things.....

Keyan Farlander Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 If you insist; against my wishes, here it is. I was thinking of Sirach, Chapter 9, verses 12 and 13 - "Sit not at all with another man's wife, nor repose upon the bed with her: And strive not with her over wine, lest thy heart decline towards her, and by thy blood thou fall into destruction." Now, I know you will reject this flat out for 2 reasons. 1) Sirach is a deuterocanonical book. 2) "You don't see it that way." And I'm telling you right now that I'm not discussing it, because it will only spark a religious debate. You wanted to know, so there it is. There may well be other instances of it in other books, but as of this moment, I'm staying as far away from any Biblical discussion as I can, because I know where it will go. But, if you want to discuss it further, e-mail me, so we don't destroy this thread. Nevertheless, my point about disrespect stands. And as a matter of fact, I agree with you about not letting culture determine your morals, but I think in this case, you are on the side of culture, so it's not really an issue. Perhaps I am mistaken here, but I see our culture as very accepting that men and women can be together without any sexual things going on. Case in point, co-ed bathrooms. Not to mention the very co-ed dorm in which I am sitting at this very moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 i really don't want to argue the point anymore, because it is rather obvious that neither side is going to convince the other that they are right. as for your question n00t, i am going to choose not to answer it, lest this turn into another one of our discussions that should remain only between us, and not publicized on a forum where the ppl really don't care about it or appreciate it. so ends this discussion on my end.

GUNNER Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 Take it from a guy who is in his mid 30's married 7 years(in 5 more days), now with 2 kids. Keyan is right. If you think you can have a plutonic relationship with the opposite sex for more then a few months you are gravely mistaken. Who ever thinks I'm wrong let me know and I'll give ya some insight.

All the advice I can give you is to tell what I'd do in that situation. Connect with Gill, but let her know that you care for Terra. For the moment however, Terra has a boyfriend, and you will not steal another man's woman (because that would violate the sacred Code of Guy-Trust that our society is based on). In time, when and if Terra and Mr. X break up, reevaluate your feelings before you swoop to her side. You may find that you've come to feel more for Gill than for Terra. If so --for Goddess' sake-- tell Gill before she can back away. You and Terra will still be friends, despite what anyone says, but you and Gill might be something more. Contrary to popular belief, humans are more than mindless amalgams of hormones and survival-drives. Or at least, we should be; in 21 years, I've seen no proof of this, but hope springs eternal. ------------------ "Don't f_ck with the Jedi Master, son." --Mark Hamill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 Mr. X sounds evil. TERMINATE HIM IMMEDIATELY He may attempt a destructive attempt to gain total global supremacy via some bizarre means. What less would you expect from someone called Mr. X?

Zargon Posted September 6, 2001 Share Posted September 6, 2001 Originally posted by Flying Beastie: Connect with Gill, but let her know that you care for Terra. I have to politely disagree with that. I think that all it will do is make Gill jealous of every second that you spend with Terra. I have been through this before. Most likely it will even make her suspicious of what you are doing when she doesn't know where you are...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Sceltor Posted September 6, 2001 Share Posted September 6, 2001 I agree with the "adults" here. A married man having a relationship with another woman, even non-sexual only promotes distrust. It just doesn't seem right. Marriage means you are permanently bonded to your spouse and they become your first priority. Marriage is something very special and not something to be trifled with in that manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUNNER Posted September 6, 2001 Share Posted September 6, 2001 Sceltor ,you da man. I have an old GF that I dated about 14 years ago and I see her maybe every 3 months or so around town. I know where she lives and could go to her house at any time. She has been married for close to 12 years and has 4 kids, she is still a knock out and when ever I see her and we start talking what do you think pops into my head? That's right, all the "fun" times we had even a few that we had after she was married. Would I do it again? No ,but does it cross my mind, deffinetly. Why, because the average human male thinks about sex something like every 15 seconds. Would I ever put myself into a situation where it was just me and another woman with no one around. Nope. Not unless it was purely accidental.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ever since that kiss... AHEM... *points up* No one seemed to notice that THIS was the new devellopment! She and the so-called Mr. X broke up!

edlib Posted September 7, 2001 Share Posted September 7, 2001 Trust your feelings, Ryan. Which way does your heart tell you to go? None of us know these girls and it's impossable for us to decide for you. But you should choose a plan of action, and act on it fast or you are likely to A.) Go crazy and/or B.) Lose both of them. Not sure if this is good advice or not, but it's all I could come up with. PS- Don't let this sway you, but I would be going for Gill. She wants you, and most of the work is already done. The other one may be trying to get Mr.X back, or would dump you to go back to him if he asked. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Beastie Posted September 7, 2001 Share Posted September 7, 2001 Originally posted by madlib: I would be going for Gill. She wants you, and most of the work is already done. Yes. This is what we've perhaps been neglecting; how does Terra feel for you? You've said you love her, but does she return those feelings? (Here's a hint: when/if you tell her that you care, does she get all quiet and rueful? If so, it means she's trying to find a way to let you down without hurting you.) Gill, on the other pseudopod, apparently does like you (proving that no-one can truly comprehend a female mind ). When in doubt, always tend to others first. ------------------ "Don't f_ck with the Jedi Master, son." --Mark Hamill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted September 8, 2001 Author Share Posted September 8, 2001 Update: My school had it's first dance tonight... So I decided that it was the perfect place to try again with Terra... But we weren't there half-an-hour before she hooked up with one of my friends... Yeah... I mean hooked up. So now I'm GOATF*CKED AGAIN... I dunno... I think I'm just gonna throw in the towel altogether and just watch porn and jerk off for the rest of my life. ------------------ Ryan "Nitro" Cole - The man who can fly anything with wings...
