Update Thread and Other Ramblings by BushOklahoma

[King]

Oh good.  I always hoping BushOK would meet a nice girl who less sexual experience than him.  As in all sports, teammate respect of veteran leadership is critical (see the flourishing sexual relationship of #5 and #10 below for illustration).

[King]

BushOK...you don't happen to be related to Mike Naso, do you?

Nope.  Not related... Anyway, the date went great and we decided to go a hole-in-the-wall type diner in NE Oklahoma County in the town of Jones.  We came back and played a couple games of UNO and then talked with her mother for a little while and watched the end of LOST season premier.  Friday, we're thinking about going to see a movie together, do something different for us.

...

If it's working for you, I'm happy.  Are you still on your militant G-or-PG-rated movie fixation?  What would you see?

Only PG if he has parental guidance to go with them.  And MAYBE PG-13 after 13 years of marriage.

[King]

This relationship is actually kinda cute compared to the debate over and eventual disaster of the Update thread one.   Sounds like you met a female very similar to you, BushOK.  Good luck.

[King]

If you are worried about luck pawn the old ring and get a new one at said pawn store.

[King]

Right. Did you sell that ring or what? No need to buy another! Save where you can!

Tiffanye's ring was a leftover from my first fiancee' back in early 2006.  It's bringing me bad luck.  Plus, I think Susan wants a special design on her ring.  Our mutual friend who put us together is going to talk with her and get the specifics and go with me to help pick it out.  I already have an open account at Gordon's Jewelers, so we'll probably start there.

Wait.  Just how many of them are there?

Not including Susan, "just" two.  Susan will make the third, and hopefully final, proposal!!

Speaking of that, we are now starting to seriously discuss future plans.  The way our relationship is going (and we are the best judge of that), we are getting so comfortable with each other, having gone together more than 10 times in the past five weeks.  Again, we've known each other really for almost 19 months since early August 2008.  I went over to our mutual friend's house, the couple that put us together, and she even thinks it's getting time for us to step up a little bit.  She is going to go with me to pick out Susan's ring sometime in either March or April and then I've got a little something up my sleeve in way of proposal sometime in May or June.  This is the type of relationship that we don't need two years to get to know each other.  We see each other three, sometimes four, times each week.  I don't feel bad for putting those tentative dates in there, because we are seriously beginning to talk about it.

While 10 good days together over the course of 35 is a good avg if you're playing baseball, I'd wait a little while longer before taken things more seriously.

You probably don't believe in living together before getting married, I presume?  Otherwise, that's usually the best way to tell if a marriage is going to work out.

Why didn't the first two engagements teach you to take things more slowly?  Take a year or two to make sure you know this is what you want.  There's no need to marry her right away.

I don't believe that a couple has to drag things out.  If they love each other, 4-6 months is plenty.  My brother said it right, going too fast is dangerous, but going too slow is equally as dangerous.  4-6 months is definitely not too fast.  I don't need a year or two to make sure this is the woman I want to marry, and she has already told me she wants to marry me and has already picked out the venue and the preacher.  I know a lot of couples who met less than 6 months before engagement and they are just as happy as can be.    The first engagement came after 12 years of knowing each other and the second came 12 days after knowing each other.  Her mother is on board with the idea and my parents are, as well.  There is no need to know each other for two years and then have another year of engagement.

This is the problem with this whole "Marriage or Bust" rule you have here, Bushie.  It's causing "going too slow" to be dangerous.  GOING SLOW SHOULDN'T BE DANGEROUS!  If you took your relationship in stages (2-3 months of causal dating, 4-6 months of LIVING TOGETHER, 2-3 months of ENGAGEMENT, and then MARRIAGE) there would be NO RISK of failure and there would be no downside of taking it slow.  But you keep getting yourself on these First Date to Wedding Day in 6 seconds thrill ride rollercoasters.

We had a chance to talk about our plans tonight and we both have decided on a September 2010 proposal and an April 2011 wedding.  We're not making any other real plans besides that for right now.  She did tell me that she does want to marry me, though.  I said the same thing to her.  It is very comforting to know that.  As I've said before, we are totally committed to each other.  We grow fonder and fonder of each other every time we get together.  We know without a shadow of a doubt that God put us together.  We couldn't have found each other by ourselves.  God has been preparing us for each other since the 1990s.  That's when I met our mutual friend, in my sophomore year of high school, her junior year.  We instantly became best friends.  We lost touch with each other while I was away at college, but met again after I returned home and I've been best friends with her and her husband since.  All this time she knew Susan and became really good friends with her.  This friend promised me she would help me find someone and introduced me to Susan in August 2008.  We dated for about a month, but she got scared somehow so she dropped me in September.  I went my own way and followed another friend's advice that led me to Tiffanye, which we all know how that turned out.  This mutual friend comforted me and said she would still help me look.  Then, in January 2010 it was just the right time and I knew God had put us together.  We hit it off really well right off the bat and our hearts grew together last month and now we are extremely comfortable with each other and we love each other so much.

I hope this is the one for you, man.
But I remain skeptical and he idea of her scheduling the date for you to propose to her sends chills up my spine.

[King]

This friend promised me she would help me find someone and introduced me to Susan in August 2008.  We dated for about a month, but she got scared somehow so she dropped me in September.

Obviously, intensive marriage talks after two weeks had nothing to do with it.

[King]

This is the most bureaucratic engagement in history.

[King]

Christmas -> Thanksgiving -> October -> September/August -> July 4th -> May/June -> Mid May -> April 3rd.

It's only a matter of time before he reveals they eloped and have actually already been married for three days.

[King]

God I hope she says, yes.

Co-planning your boyfriend's proposal plan so you can say no would an amazingly evil way to break up with somebody.

[King]

Does BushOK's sect of Christianity believe that engaged people can live in the same house? Or is that still sinful?

You need to be married for five years to move in together and even then, you have to sleep in separately in twin beds for five additional years.

[King]

Put on a tie, man!

He's planning to put one on by August 5th at the latest.

[King]

I haven't paid any attention to this thread in a while (thankfully). But he's supposedly getting married again? Really?

Marriage is the Rome of the BushOK Thread Superhighway.

[King]

I'll start the countdown.

Days Remaining
Projected: 358
Actual: 358

[King]

We could still keep it Saturday, April 2, 2011, but she kind of wants it either Saturday, March 19 or 26

Days Remaining
Projected: 357
Actual: 343

[King]

ITS A TARP!

Oh great.  Now the government is going to bail out BushOK's failed engagements?

[King]

No. April is the cruelest month.

I have to respectfully disagree.

Then you don't understand why it is so.

Apparently, I don't.  Do tell.

If the movie Lost in Translation were set in Britain, this exchange would be a pivotal scene.

[King]

I still wonder how he got to be a mod. His association with Texaslefty was indeed very close.

Bur he's Bushy.  He doesn't delete posts he doesn't like, he prays for them.

[King]

I don't know whether to be creeped out or what?

Personally I'm getting bored.....I need some goddamn drama here Bushie.

It'll happen soon.  Eventually they'll move so fast that a break in the space time continuum will occur and their wedding date will have been three days before they met and consummation somehow not happening until BushOK Jr.'s high school graduation.
