TOO MUCH, TOO FAST


For the past couple of months The Kodiak Perspective has been seeing a girl. A wonderful feeling, full of promise and excitement. To tell the truth, it has been a while since The Perspective has been steady with a girl. The process of dating is one where you try to make connections and hope that you have found someone for the long term.

Things started to move too quickly when she started talking about long term commitment. The Perspective tries to use humor to diffuse situations that are uncomfortable, but lacking that vital social filter, he may have gone too far.

The girlfriend e-mailed web pages of wedding gowns.
The Perspective shot back, “Well, it is almost time for Halloween.”

Looks like The Perspective is single again.

Dude, it was the right response. You can't allow that sort of behavior, especially so early in a relationship.

Perhaps for Halloween you two could dress as the couple from Corpse Bride or something.

I'm with Ish on this one - but not sure it's worth breaking up over!

Get her a Bulls #91 jeresy, you wear the dress, and you two could be Dennis Rodman Before and After for Halloween.

After only a couple of months? And sending you pictures of wedding gowns? Definitely a little creepy, unless she's a wedding dress designer. I think your retort was exactly the right response. Probably saved you a lot of pain later (if providing a little pain now).
