James and ilovemyglo...

[lifesaver]

OK, I am substuting the names of two of our good GC buddies to illustrate the story, because I dont want ya'll to think this story is about me, (which it is) but I need your advice on a subject and I wanted to personalize it in GC land, so we'd all feel like we knew the players....

At the end of last semester James was in the computer lab and started throwing the mac on ilovemyglo. He saw her from across the lab, but ilovemyglo initiates conversation. They agree to go out because James discovers that ilovemyglo is into country music (texas style) and drinking and James finds ilovemyglo atractive. So they go out. The first time they go to dinner and then the bar where ilovemyglo's friends hang out. (folowing each other there from the resturaunt) ilovemyglo has a few too many drinks and James tells ilovemyglo not to drive. So James and ilovemyglo take off with James driving. James, being the smooth devil that he is, takes ilovemyglo back to his apt, where they mess around (but no sex). The next morning, James takes ilovemyglo back to where her car is. They talk on the phone and email every now and then. A few weeks later, ilovemyglo sends James an email telling him that her friends are throwing her a birthday party and she wants him to stop by. She does, and James has a good time, and goes to the after party at ilovemyglo's house. James tries to leave, but ilovemyglo convinces him to stay. So it was all cool. James stays and in probably the sexiest night of his life, makes mad shakey crazy love to ilovemyglo, during a thunderstorm, windows open, candles lit, with John Coultrain playing in the background and it definately was the best sex James ever had.

But ilovemyglo has a few issues. Mainly that her family doesnt like her dating till after college and medical school (they foot her bills), and her parents who are religious, would throw a fit if they found out. She even has to hide it from her friends, so James has to pretend that their just friends. James doesnt mind so much 'cause the booty is good. So they hang out a few more times and each time ilovemyglo seems to be feeling a bit guilty about the sex and involvment, which naturally tends to push James away. They havent hung out since, because James' fraternity brothers tell him that ilovemyglo isnt worth the hassle. For a while James agrees, but cant really quit thinking about ilovemyglo. So every now and then they exchange emails, but havent hung out in a while. James never gives it much thought till a wise brother suggested he re-examine the situation, and help ilovemyglo with the problem. James doesnt think ilovemyglo is that into him, but he cant quit thinking about her. James knows the booty call is there if he wants, but might want something more. Which might not even be a possibility.

I think James' problem is that he is afraid he'll totally fall in love with ilovemyglo, but will have to pretend it doesnt exist for 6 more years till she's outta medical school. Also ilovemyglo might not be all that into James. (I know none of us know whats ahead, but James is concerned of the emotional investment and nothing coming of it). So what should James do? James cant just tap that a$$ and be out. Just not built that way.

Thoughts, suggestions? Story does make for a great soap tho...
