Wooing my neighbor: I came. I hugged. I wooed. Now moving on. (1 Viewer)

Nathan R. Jessep said:
Perhaps it is maybe not fair for me to post details when I can't and won't post COMPLETE details. To be honest, I never thought it'd be an issue. I never thought anyone (much less a lot of anyones) would give 2 ####s about all this. 

I'm fine with the jokes, the ribbing, the poor advice and all that. I have thick skin. But I am asking for a bit of leeway, and that you respect the fact that I will not compromise neither this woman's identity, nor my own integrity, for the sake of a ### #### internet message board thread. And because of that, you have to understand there are things I will not share that I realize are crucial to this story, and absolutely crucial to the decisions and actions I have made.  I have probably done myself a bit of a disservice by posting pretty much everything I have done, without posting everything that brought me to the decisions that I made. Most of the flack and jokes I've taken are a product of that partial information, which Curly has alluded to several times. She, and a few others, seem to get that. The rest either don't get it or don't care. I'm not upset about it. I've been around here a long time, mostly as a lurker in the FFA. Hell, that's what 95% of this forum is anyway. I just don't want anyone to feel duped. You have my word of honor as a man, this is not a fishing trip. 

I do sincerely appreciate the time everyone has taken, even if just to make a terrible joke. 

If everyone would prefer, I can just stop updating it, we'll lock it down, and I'll go on my way.

WTF has asked for the chick's identity?  The closest I've seen is folks asking what she does for a living.

You've been a good sport this whole time NRJ, don't get all serious on us now.   Perhaps it's hug fatigue?

You know I've been on your side all along. That being said, I would stop posting. Someone will eventually wheel house you irl because it's the internet and people are dumb. Would blow your whole relationship. Plus you risk your new woman finding out about this thread.  It's a great thread but you have much to lose and very little to gain at this point. You've cemented yourself and this thread in the FFA hall of fame

I agree.  This has been an epic thread.  The schtick has been brilliant and it's been fun rooting for you. But don't risk her finding out.  End it now.  Just let me come up with enough material for one more Purse forum update before you ask for it to be locked. 

Congrats NRJ.  You have a great thing with Mona Lisa Vito and I wish you the best.

That might be the way to go. I've known all along that the AR style details would likely never be posted. Can't divulge the juicy details like that on a fine woman like Marisa. "Hug and tell" is likely all we'll get on that front.

BTW NRJ, I really think you'd be in the clear should Marisa ever see this thread somehow. Sure, it might seem a little creepy, but it's not. It's the classic tale of a man trying to woo his neighbor in the most respectful way possible, and asking for help along the way.

I think she'd be quite flattered, assuming she'd laugh off our tasteless jokes, and focus only on what you've said.

Wait.  After the first night with two hugs, did our hero really attempt to kiss her and get rejected?
Click to expand...
Yeah something happened and he is trying to pull the ripe cord on this thread to save face.  Nobody is asking anything inappropriate and nobody is trying to find out who she is.  I think he has intentionally left off some key details in this story and I called it earlier.

I'm not asking for your speculation or back patting.  I'd just like to know if our hero has actually told us he tried to kiss her and got rejected.  Too many pages here.

 
Meanwhile at the Purse forum FFA...

Bicycle Seat Sitter: Mona Lisa, we need an update!

2Old2BBalled: When you hugged him, could you feel his package?  Was it eligible for Amazon Prime?

SWC-Section: He is obviously a very old-fashioned gentleman, with all the hugging and politeness.  I think he will be bringing you a gift of chocolates or maybe nylons.  Do not let him watch man shows like Walker Texas Ranger.  See if he can watch a good romantic movie like Romancing the Stone and see his reaction to the scene in the jungle when it's raining and their clothes are soaked and you can see their rippling muscles.  That will tell if he is a keeper and you can take that to the mall, missy.

Good Purse Judge: This is lame.  I am going back to the What kind of chocolate are you bingeing on tonight? thread.

Chromosome X:  You blew it with the first hug.  I am done.

:lol:   and "martyr" is a tad strong

It just seemed to take a turn away from being fun, and "THAT NOT WHY WERE HEAR!"TM

I realize that was due to my tactical misstep of the quick summary post, and I'd rescind that move if I could. Hindsight.

Nothing happened. How many times to I have to ACTUALLY SAY I have and will continue to leave out details!?!?! Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ, man. Let it go.

Considering he's given hints to where he lives, there is no way he should say what she does.

I can't recall seeing anything posted where our hero was rejected from a kiss attempt.  Some of our angst is due to our hero's inaction.  Apparently there are details we're not getting that will explain our hero's lack of action.  Or something to that effect.

I don't believe anyone actually GAF what our hero's source of affection does.  It just would add depth to the story but no one is clamoring for it.  Let's all take a deep breath, chill out, and get back to the hugging.

 
The synopsis of the 90-minute conversation: 

We talked and laughed about random stuff, talked about how ridiculous it was that we had to essentially sneak outside to hug each other, and laughed some more about it. Then I, in no uncertain terms, gave her a list of things I admired about her and let her know that I was interested in her and getting to know her even more. She reciprocated that wish, and we both agreed it was an odd situation with us being neighbors and no matter what, we didn't want it to become awkward, so taking things slow was probably the best course of action. 

So, cards are on the table. We are both aware of each other's interest. Still proceeding with cautious optimism.

Seems like you're right where you need/want to be, good on ya. Continue to nurture the relationship but don't be afraid to pull the trigger when the opportunity presents itself. You don't want some inferior non-FBG schlub usurping your place at the head of the table. 

 
NRJ - Dont want no details that would compromise your mission but please don't confuse us with 90 minute hugs. The past couple days were really strange as you seemed to invert space and time.

For example, if today you wash your car for 8 hours in a tank top and hat (preferably non matching) or halftime of the game tomorrow lasts 6 hugs.

With the cards on the table he should call her raise, then she has to reveal her hole card.

Thanks for the update.  The last few days have been like this though.

rSo the hug wasnt real?

Nooooooooiii

I gave out all all my hugs too

Oh it was real, as real as it gets.  It just was not for 90 minutes. 

It was real because it sealed an understanding, a now mutually spoken understanding that they are pursuing this.  Their cards are on the table. They have taken a leap of faith in articulating the formerly unspoken.  This is good stuff. I wish the Colonel well.  I suspect he will be promoted to General very soon.

Good move.  Seriously.  Boring for us, but so what.  :-)

i was hoping the 90 minute hug led to her falling asleep in your arms because that's incredibly romantic and shows she trusts you completely, and would have been a great time for you to take pics of her whilst posing your boner.

:confused:

You're neighbors, not co-workers from the same department.  

 
I am bummed that there wasn't actually a 90 minute long hug that took place.  :sadbanana:

So what are the next steps, colonel? Are you two going to try a kid-free date?
