Update Thread and Other Ramblings by BushOklahoma

[BushKenya]

Just thought I would let everyone here know that I have a Valentine!!  The Valentine is of the female gender!!  I'm going to be a whole lot more careful with this one, so I probably won't post about her a whole lot.  Her name is Susan, 25 years old, from good ole' Choctaw, Oklahoma.  She has no children, and never even has had a boyfriend before.  We're just starting out as friends and we're going to let the Lord lead it from there!!

[J. J.]

I'm sort of dating Gracie Allen.

You do understand that I will never, ever address you as Reverend

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

So there was a chance of it being from the "male gender"?

Haha. Not a chance!!

[The Mikado]

Just FYI, if you intend to be taken seriously as a Reverend, you might want to spell it correctly...

Just sayin'.  You should probably edit the title of the thread.

Anyways, congrats.  Hope you have a great V-day, after which you can start focusing on driving the snakes out of Ireland.

Congrats Reverend.  Please do not be Staff Sgt. Dauterive with this one.

No worries, Flyers!!  This is not going to be another episode of "speed dating", LOL!!  For one, she's never had a boyfriend before, so it will all be new to her.  Two, I learned my lesson with Tiffanye, "speed dating" doesn't work.  Being an Associate Pastor now, I have to really watch myself closely and really uphold the integrity of the Bible and the integrity of the Pulpit in our relationship.  I can't afford to be "careless" with this relationship as I was with Tiffanye, for it could not only cost me my relationship, but it could cause me to have my ordination revoked, something that would be very embarrasing.

This will be a great test for me and since we're just starting out as friends, not even technically BF/GF, we won't be tempted to go too fast.

We will be having our first double date either this Tuesday night or Friday night, depending on her and the other couple's schedule.

Congratulations. I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful lifelong friendship for you two, even if you both will end up marrying someone else.

I like your new mental attitude.  With Tiffanye it sounded like you were discussing marriage when you were first talking.  WHOA!  That's too much man.  I learned the hard way myself not to get too attached too early.  It has come back to bite me in the ass.  And even I get enamored with women early that even I need that friend or someone saying "Pat, cool it man, you're coming off needy."  I know, it's harder if you are actually involved with someone, but that 3rd party perspective can sometimes help.  Congrats again.  Hope it works out.

I'm going to see Susan either tomorrow, Friday, or Saturday night, and I'm really looking forward to it.  I'm waiting for our mutual friend who hooked us up to call me and let me know what day is best for her.

Is anyone else nervous that Jeff's date has never had a boyfriend? 

[RomneyGekko Situation Hairgel]

Is anyone else nervous that Jeff's date has never had a boyfriend? 

Considering the fact that such girls frequently have too high expectations, yes.

Be careful, Jeff, really careful.

If she's semi-attractive, I'd be VERY afraid.  She could be one of many things:

1. Psycho
2. REALLY picky

Or just not that attractive.

If she's 25 and semi-attractive, some guy has poked her unless she's REALLY Christian or closed off.

As my Dad and I like to say, she's still on the showroom floor, if you know what I mean.  She has absolutely no baggage with her, no skeletons in her closet.  I'm not worried about this one, because we've been friends for the past two years, already, so that will make it easier to get to know each other well enough to proceed further.  Plus, the friend that put us together is not going to let anything bad happen to us to the best of her ability.  Plus, she's a lot more trustworthy than the friend that put Tiffanye and I together.  I knew I shouldn't have trusted that friend considering her past.  The friend that put Susan and I together has a squeaky clean past as does her husband.  This friend is also not going to let us go too fast!!

Here we go again.

I know.  I'd post that Captain Picard facepalm pic but it would upset Joe Republic too much.

What was last time?

Dig through the Forum Community pages and find the thread entitled "Update", its only about 500 posts long or so.  It was way back in June 2009, so it may take you a few minutes to find the thread.  It was one of the epic threads of 2009.

[Judäischen Volksfront]

I have a *real* in-house Reverend, and she looks kind of cute.

I'll try and not hijack this thread. Hopefully you won't let it become inactive like last time, BushOK.

Wow, you two sound like a couple of complete dorks.  You’re going to have to post a picture of her to calm my dorkphobia.

On a slightly more serious note.... your motive for having integrity should be aimed at winning the approval of God, not winning the approval of men, for it is from God that your salvation and ordination originates.

He doesn't need for her to have high expectations.
