speaking of relationships, maybe y'all can help me understand something.

Have any of you gone through a "talking" or "dating" stage for months, without it ever crossing over into boyfriend/girlfriend or a relationship? I've been dating this girl for 3 months (she calls it dating/talking), and she swears it is not a relationship. I think the only thing keeping it from calling it a relationship is that we do no PDA and the public/our acquaintances don't know about it yet. I don't know what else I would do different if we were to call it a "relationship". I also don't know how to move forward and make it a relationship b/c all my others in my life have been: go out a few times, hook up a few times, then it is just understood. I have never gone 3 months. I'm so confused. I feel like I have to hold myself back and watch what I do/say every so often b/c i dont want to make her feel like she is in a committed relationship, even though that's what I feel I am in. she claims this "talking" stage is normal where she is from (bronx, ny).

and ideas/comments?

Ugh, those situations annoy me so bad.

I don't care about the other classes I'm getting B's in. Just when this one was auto A or auto-fail for me, that's a big stressor. lol

Unrelated story:

Yesterday: Sure boss, I'll come in early tomorrow for our one-on-one meeting you keep rescheduling.

Today: Gee, boss, I'm sure happy you canceled our meeting after I got in early. I am definitely not going to leave extra early today.
 
Right now it's looking like a A, A-, B, B*.

* = depending on how tomorrow's final goes.

Which, considering how much I've slacked this semester, isn't too shabby.

i would love to date an older woman for once. like 2/3 years older. younger women are headaches. 😉

yeah, the bronx is known for the "talking" phase of relationships. (what?)

:laugh:

seriously, that seems weird. i kind of want to say that you should relax and roll with it 'cause you're young, but i also understand how it feels to be the one who is more ready for commitment. but 3 months isn't a terribly long time. is this something that could potentially continue during med school? if so, i'd say give it the summer... let her know that you need to know where you stand by the time you start school. JMO. :shrug:

could she be reluctant to make it a relationship because she knows you'll be going far away to school? do you think you're going to continue dating after you're in school? if not, maybe it's better that she doesn't feel like she's in a serious committed relationship.
 
all finished packing for EVMS yay! i am not excited for the 9 hour drive though...i feel like i'm constantly packing/driving these days!! my last 4 weekends have been: 8.5 hours, 6 hours, 4.5 hours, and now 9. my mom says i should give up the whole med school plan and become a truck driver😛

Same. I don't think I've ever dated a younger guy before. Not so much because I have a problem with it, but I always felt that the guys I have attempted to date who were younger were always emasculated by it. Weird, I know.

i could keep it going depending on where I end up (but not letting it affect my decision)...she is a little reluctant b/c she came into college with a b/f back home, and it didn't end too well. so she is worried this wouldnt end well either. i keep telling her I am nothing like her old dude though. the way we've been talking, she alludes to the fact it will continue through me going to school.

plus she is doing a term in brazil for the summer, so that's a headache. i dont even get to see her before I go off to school (and not to mention i know guys will be all over her in brazil...but i want her to have fun, so w/e)

If you are comfortable with the ambiguous "talking" phase you're in, then I'd say stay in it and wait until she gets back. Either way though, I think this situation calls for you explicitly asking her to be your girlfriend.

I am idiotically brave and think people should always tell each other how they feel (unless the other person is going to be traumatized by it... :laugh:). Sooner rather than later. I've always thought you could get hit by a meteor tomorrow (and with the number of earth quakes and volcanic eruptions we've had this year... I may be close to the truth).

But this does pose an interesting problem. Because if you don't get a response now... and have to wait till she gets back - it'll be very awkward (it never works like in the movies where she jumps into your arms when she comes back; not like I speak from experience or anything 🙄).

I still say go for it 👍 Or depending on how courageous (or insane) you are; you could just kiss her [but if she doesn't like you too, that does not end well; but if she does like you - you are so set]

yea exactly. it's like...in private we are in a relationship and everything is awesome, but in public....whole nother story. she doesn't shun me or anything like that. she just doesn't want people to know and be in her business. she's been scorned by rumors in her college career already.

you can only be a truck driver if you swear that you will honk your horn every time a kid drives by miming that he's pulling the horn cable!!!

honesty is the best policy -- IMHO you're definitely in a relationship -- y'all spend more time together than my roommate and her bf and they've been dating for 4 years. Maybe you should just lay it on the line with her and see what happens?

oooh must've missed that. Alright then; choice is easy:

Sit her down and tell her how you feel before she leaves. Might want to slip in that you respect her very much, that's why you felt you had to say how you feel; and in the same vein you will respect whatever decision she makes (ok that part might be a lie - because it almost always is in my case - but you don't have to tell her that :laugh: )

DEW IT!

Yeah, I agree here. Besides, do you really want to have her go to Brazil for several weeks while you're left questioning whether you're actually in a relationship with her or not? Personally, I think now would be the time to ask.

We have "dead week" next week, which is when the labs have finals and you don't have any EC meetings or anything. This is the first semester that I don't have anything due that week, actually.

Then the next week is finals from Mon-Sat, and I have one on Wed and one on Thurs.

It's ridiculous. We get out so late this year.
 
Visa hates America:laugh:

Despite a recent study that found swipe fees are stalling the creation of nearly a quarter million U.S. jobs, Visa raised its debit card interchange rate for American retailers to .95 percent plus $.20 per transaction in April, according to the Retail Industry Leaders Association. In contrast, Visa Europe announced Monday that it would be capping transaction fees at 0.2 percent for the next four years.
A spokesperson for Visa, Inc. said the average Visa Debit transaction fee rose by less than 4 percent...

NASA attacks Australia.

his story was updated at 10:51 a.m. EDT. A huge NASA balloon loaded with a telescope painstakingly built to scan the sky at wavelengths invisible to the human eye crashed in the Australian outback Thursday, destroying the astronomy experiment and just missing nearby onlookers, according to Australian media reports.
In dramatic video released by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the giant 400-foot (121-meter) balloon is seen just beginning to lift its payload, then the telescope gondola appears to unexpectedly come loose from its carriage. The telescopes crash through a fence and overturn a nearby parked sport utility vehicle before finally stopping.
The attempted balloon telescope launch took place at the Alice Springs Balloon Launching Centre, near the town of Alice Springs, in the northern territory of Australia.
The wayward balloon overturned one car, but missed another parked nearby with local Alice Springs couple Stan and Betty Davies, who had come to watch the launch, still inside.
"We were sitting in our car and preparing to move it out of the way and we were actually about a foot of being wiped out," ABC quoted Davies as saying.
The balloon was carrying the Nuclear Compton Telescope (NCT), a gamma-ray telescope built by astronomer Steven Boggs and his colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, California to study astrophysical sources in space.
"Today was a terrible day for a lot of people," wrote Eric Bellm, a graduate astronomy student at the UC Berkeley, in a blog chronicling the science mission. "For the NCT team, we've poured our hearts into this instrument for years. It was an almost unfathomable shock to find ourselves cleaning up the wreckage of our gondola rather than watching it lift off towards space."
The unmanned research balloon was built by NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Palestine, Texas and expected to haul its two-telescope payload up to an altitude of about 120,000 feet (36,576 meters). That's about 23 miles (37 km), though smaller home-built balloons have been built to reach high altitudes as well.
In his account of the crash, Bellm said an investigation into the balloon's launch failure will be performed, though a first glance found that at least some of the components for the Nuclear Compton Telescope appear to have survived relatively intact. The science team has cleaned up the wreckage and returned it to a staging hangar, he added.
Ravi Sood, director of the Alice Springs Balloon Launching Centre and a professor at Australia's University of New South Wales, said no one was hurt in the incident, but sometimes balloon launches can go awry.
"Ballooning, that's the way it happens on occasions but it is very, very disappointing. Gut-wrenching actually," he told ABC.
The failed balloon launch in Australia marked NASA's second balloon science campaign this month at the remote site. On April 15, NASA's balloon science program launched Tracking and Imaging Gamma Ray Experiment (TIGRE), a gamma-ray telescope, to search the galactic center of the sky for emissions from radioactive materials, NASA officials said.
That launch, which sent the telescope and its balloon to an altitude of 127,000 feet (38,709 meters), went according to plan, the space agency said.
The balloon's next payload to fly, an X-ray telescope called HERO aimed at mapping the galactic center for NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, was targeted for May, Australian officials added.
