Read further thru the thread, I'm not going to do this till this visit is concluded and see how we fared together. It will be a conversation discussing the idea of becoming monogamous.

I'll return with news in a couple of months.

Good news in Texas.

That's what I am/will do. No ring, no ambush, no ultimatum, just a conversation on the idea of it.

You are correct, we arrived at that earlier in the thread. Sorry for the delayed train wreck.

You sound like a judgemental know-it-all who has all the details of everyone's lives and is able to make mean spirited and damning assertions about other people...

I didn't ask for advice. People volunteered. I'm definitely making this all up for internet cool points. You got me good chicken fucker. Sorry to have made you look.

Mutual, different places in life.

Been close to her for years. And yes, no pressure, I'll ask the day she boards the plane home if it's been a good experience for both of us. Obviously if we're hating each other after this time then I wouldn't be dumb enough to ask.

Arigato.

I'm buying a house for me/us...Is that considered change on my part?

Jesus Horowitz Christ. Glad you're "better" now.

wat?

Word to all this. That's how I imagine it'd be, more of a dialogue versus, "OMG LET'S DO A THING NAO!"

We live on different sides of the planet.

How does one date someone from the other side of the planet? Perhaps we've come to the answer. ;)

We have in the past, we dated for a while.

Oooh yes I know. If all goes well and fires are re-lit I will ask if she would consider it first before answering as she boards the plane and let me know what she thinks when she returns back to her country.

Agreed 100%
Except for the FB part actually. FB is the death of relationships.

Agreed.
