		<description>If you worry about every lil bump,actual or percieved, you will never enjoy the scenery this journey is taking you.
I tend to over analyze what the other guys is thinking too, when I get involved. Is it a girl thing? perhaps to a degree... I can see you over anaylizing it all. Relax and enjoy what you have with Varick. It sounds like a promising thing you have with him. :)

I think that when we guard our heart too much, we may miss out on some pretty good things in hopes of protecting ourselves. Sometimes it&#039;s worth the risk.</description>

		<description>Thank you so much Padme for being there for me today.  It was really good to be able to lean on you for support, and to have a long conversation about my feelings.  You&#039;re such a wonderful friend, I&#039;m so lucky to know you.

The trip is coming up so fast!  I can hardly wait :D  We&#039;re going to have such a fabulous time!!!</description>

		<description>Thank you Nia :)  You know, you&#039;re very right about jumping in.  Sometimes my somewhat emotionally cautious nature prevents me from taking advantage of some opportunities.

I think if there is any hope of things growing from here, it would be best to set the tone now for open and honest communication.  :)

Thanks for being a good friend to me.  I&#039;m quite honoured to have you in my life as well.</description>

		<description>You know, I wondered about that, but Deja is significantly older than Varick and I.  Old enough to be our mum I&#039;d hazard, and I think the fact that there is such an age difference between them is the main reason she won&#039;t go there.  Also they are both Dominants, LOL, which could present issues. 

I think really she just doesn&#039;t know what the hell to say, and thus, just says whatever comes to mind.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see.  Poly is a foreign concept to Deja.  Deja and Varrick have a relationship (of sorts).  Deja is concerned about the nature of your relationship with Varrick.  Is Deja&#039;s view (forgive the pun) biased for unrevealed reasons?</description>

		<description>Hi Shasta,
You know a lot of how I feel because of our long phone call earlier today.  I agree with Nia that hindsight is 20/20 but also jumping into things blind can lead to places you otherwise havn&#039;t have gone and also give you so much life experience.  I was telling you today that I have no regrets about any of my poly relationships.  I grew from all of my experiences and am who I am today because of them.  I can tell you several things that happened for me when I went into it blind and jumped into it head first.  
You are an amazing person and I feel so lucky to have you as my friend.  Varick is lucky to have you in his life and I really do have a good feeling about it all.  Communication is the key as we talked about earlier.  It&#039;s important to talk to him about how you are feeling.  :)

Only 8 days to go til the trip out to meet you!!  I can&#039;t wait and don&#039;t remember the last time I was so excited about something.  I can&#039;t wait to hang out with you and spend some time with you and finally get to meet you!  I think you are one of the most special people that I have ever known and I am so glad to call you my friend....
XOXO

		<description>Thank you so much Padme for being there for me today.  It was really good to be able to lean on you for support, and to have a long conversation about my feelings.  You&#039;re such a wonderful friend, I&#039;m so lucky to know you.

The trip is coming up so fast!  I can hardly wait :D  We&#039;re going to have such a fabulous time!!!</description>

		<description>Thank you Nia :)  You know, you&#039;re very right about jumping in.  Sometimes my somewhat emotionally cautious nature prevents me from taking advantage of some opportunities.

I think if there is any hope of things growing from here, it would be best to set the tone now for open and honest communication.  :)

Thanks for being a good friend to me.  I&#039;m quite honoured to have you in my life as well.</description>

		<description>You know, I wondered about that, but Deja is significantly older than Varick and I.  Old enough to be our mum I&#039;d hazard, and I think the fact that there is such an age difference between them is the main reason she won&#039;t go there.  Also they are both Dominants, LOL, which could present issues. 

I think really she just doesn&#039;t know what the hell to say, and thus, just says whatever comes to mind.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see.  Poly is a foreign concept to Deja.  Deja and Varrick have a relationship (of sorts).  Deja is concerned about the nature of your relationship with Varrick.  Is Deja&#039;s view (forgive the pun) biased for unrevealed reasons?</description>

		<description>Hi Shasta,
You know a lot of how I feel because of our long phone call earlier today.  I agree with Nia that hindsight is 20/20 but also jumping into things blind can lead to places you otherwise havn&#039;t have gone and also give you so much life experience.  I was telling you today that I have no regrets about any of my poly relationships.  I grew from all of my experiences and am who I am today because of them.  I can tell you several things that happened for me when I went into it blind and jumped into it head first.  
You are an amazing person and I feel so lucky to have you as my friend.  Varick is lucky to have you in his life and I really do have a good feeling about it all.  Communication is the key as we talked about earlier.  It&#039;s important to talk to him about how you are feeling.  :)

Only 8 days to go til the trip out to meet you!!  I can&#039;t wait and don&#039;t remember the last time I was so excited about something.  I can&#039;t wait to hang out with you and spend some time with you and finally get to meet you!  I think you are one of the most special people that I have ever known and I am so glad to call you my friend....
XOXO

		<description>If you worry about every lil bump,actual or percieved, you will never enjoy the scenery this journey is taking you.
I tend to over analyze what the other guys is thinking too, when I get involved. Is it a girl thing? perhaps to a degree... I can see you over anaylizing it all. Relax and enjoy what you have with Varick. It sounds like a promising thing you have with him. :)

I think that when we guard our heart too much, we may miss out on some pretty good things in hopes of protecting ourselves. Sometimes it&#039;s worth the risk.</description>

		<description>You know, I wondered about that, but Deja is significantly older than Varick and I.  Old enough to be our mum I&#039;d hazard, and I think the fact that there is such an age difference between them is the main reason she won&#039;t go there.  Also they are both Dominants, LOL, which could present issues. 

I think really she just doesn&#039;t know what the hell to say, and thus, just says whatever comes to mind.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see.  Poly is a foreign concept to Deja.  Deja and Varrick have a relationship (of sorts).  Deja is concerned about the nature of your relationship with Varrick.  Is Deja&#039;s view (forgive the pun) biased for unrevealed reasons?</description>

		<description>Hi Shasta,
You know a lot of how I feel because of our long phone call earlier today.  I agree with Nia that hindsight is 20/20 but also jumping into things blind can lead to places you otherwise havn&#039;t have gone and also give you so much life experience.  I was telling you today that I have no regrets about any of my poly relationships.  I grew from all of my experiences and am who I am today because of them.  I can tell you several things that happened for me when I went into it blind and jumped into it head first.  
You are an amazing person and I feel so lucky to have you as my friend.  Varick is lucky to have you in his life and I really do have a good feeling about it all.  Communication is the key as we talked about earlier.  It&#039;s important to talk to him about how you are feeling.  :)

Only 8 days to go til the trip out to meet you!!  I can&#039;t wait and don&#039;t remember the last time I was so excited about something.  I can&#039;t wait to hang out with you and spend some time with you and finally get to meet you!  I think you are one of the most special people that I have ever known and I am so glad to call you my friend....
XOXO

		<description>If you worry about every lil bump,actual or percieved, you will never enjoy the scenery this journey is taking you.
I tend to over analyze what the other guys is thinking too, when I get involved. Is it a girl thing? perhaps to a degree... I can see you over anaylizing it all. Relax and enjoy what you have with Varick. It sounds like a promising thing you have with him. :)

I think that when we guard our heart too much, we may miss out on some pretty good things in hopes of protecting ourselves. Sometimes it&#039;s worth the risk.</description>

		<description>Thank you so much Padme for being there for me today.  It was really good to be able to lean on you for support, and to have a long conversation about my feelings.  You&#039;re such a wonderful friend, I&#039;m so lucky to know you.

The trip is coming up so fast!  I can hardly wait :D  We&#039;re going to have such a fabulous time!!!</description>

		<description>Thank you Nia :)  You know, you&#039;re very right about jumping in.  Sometimes my somewhat emotionally cautious nature prevents me from taking advantage of some opportunities.

I think if there is any hope of things growing from here, it would be best to set the tone now for open and honest communication.  :)

Thanks for being a good friend to me.  I&#039;m quite honoured to have you in my life as well.</description>

		<description>You know, I wondered about that, but Deja is significantly older than Varick and I.  Old enough to be our mum I&#039;d hazard, and I think the fact that there is such an age difference between them is the main reason she won&#039;t go there.  Also they are both Dominants, LOL, which could present issues. 

I think really she just doesn&#039;t know what the hell to say, and thus, just says whatever comes to mind.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see.  Poly is a foreign concept to Deja.  Deja and Varrick have a relationship (of sorts).  Deja is concerned about the nature of your relationship with Varrick.  Is Deja&#039;s view (forgive the pun) biased for unrevealed reasons?</description>

		<description>Hi Shasta,
You know a lot of how I feel because of our long phone call earlier today.  I agree with Nia that hindsight is 20/20 but also jumping into things blind can lead to places you otherwise havn&#039;t have gone and also give you so much life experience.  I was telling you today that I have no regrets about any of my poly relationships.  I grew from all of my experiences and am who I am today because of them.  I can tell you several things that happened for me when I went into it blind and jumped into it head first.  
You are an amazing person and I feel so lucky to have you as my friend.  Varick is lucky to have you in his life and I really do have a good feeling about it all.  Communication is the key as we talked about earlier.  It&#039;s important to talk to him about how you are feeling.  :)

Only 8 days to go til the trip out to meet you!!  I can&#039;t wait and don&#039;t remember the last time I was so excited about something.  I can&#039;t wait to hang out with you and spend some time with you and finally get to meet you!  I think you are one of the most special people that I have ever known and I am so glad to call you my friend....
XOXO

You are an amazing person and I feel so lucky to have you as my friend.  Varick is lucky to have you in his life and I really do have a good feeling about it all.  Communication is the key as we talked about earlier.  It&#039;s important to talk to him about how you are feeling.  :)

Only 8 days to go til the trip out to meet you!!  I can&#039;t wait and don&#039;t remember the last time I was so excited about something.  I can&#039;t wait to hang out with you and spend some time with you and finally get to meet you!  I think you are one of the most special people that I have ever known and I am so glad to call you my friend....
XOXO

		<description>If you worry about every lil bump,actual or percieved, you will never enjoy the scenery this journey is taking you.
I tend to over analyze what the other guys is thinking too, when I get involved. Is it a girl thing? perhaps to a degree... I can see you over anaylizing it all. Relax and enjoy what you have with Varick. It sounds like a promising thing you have with him. :)

I think that when we guard our heart too much, we may miss out on some pretty good things in hopes of protecting ourselves. Sometimes it&#039;s worth the risk.</description>

		<description>Thank you Nia :)  You know, you&#039;re very right about jumping in.  Sometimes my somewhat emotionally cautious nature prevents me from taking advantage of some opportunities.

I think if there is any hope of things growing from here, it would be best to set the tone now for open and honest communication.  :)

Thanks for being a good friend to me.  I&#039;m quite honoured to have you in my life as well.</description>

		<description>You know, I wondered about that, but Deja is significantly older than Varick and I.  Old enough to be our mum I&#039;d hazard, and I think the fact that there is such an age difference between them is the main reason she won&#039;t go there.  Also they are both Dominants, LOL, which could present issues. 

I think really she just doesn&#039;t know what the hell to say, and thus, just says whatever comes to mind.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see.  Poly is a foreign concept to Deja.  Deja and Varrick have a relationship (of sorts).  Deja is concerned about the nature of your relationship with Varrick.  Is Deja&#039;s view (forgive the pun) biased for unrevealed reasons?</description>

		<description>Hi Shasta,
You know a lot of how I feel because of our long phone call earlier today.  I agree with Nia that hindsight is 20/20 but also jumping into things blind can lead to places you otherwise havn&#039;t have gone and also give you so much life experience.  I was telling you today that I have no regrets about any of my poly relationships.  I grew from all of my experiences and am who I am today because of them.  I can tell you several things that happened for me when I went into it blind and jumped into it head first.  
You are an amazing person and I feel so lucky to have you as my friend.  Varick is lucky to have you in his life and I really do have a good feeling about it all.  Communication is the key as we talked about earlier.  It&#039;s important to talk to him about how you are feeling.  :)

Only 8 days to go til the trip out to meet you!!  I can&#039;t wait and don&#039;t remember the last time I was so excited about something.  I can&#039;t wait to hang out with you and spend some time with you and finally get to meet you!  I think you are one of the most special people that I have ever known and I am so glad to call you my friend....

		<description>hindsight is 20/20, it&#039;s true, but it&#039;s also true that sometimes jumping into things blind can lead you into places you otherwise may not have gone.

take Flavia and i. we met and hooked up at a bar, in front of dozens of people, leaving me with a wicked grin, and only the vaguest idea what her name was. months later, we&#039;re dating, her lovely girlfriend and i are dating, and one of my lovely exes has become a current again, and is also dating the two of them. from that one little risk, that provocative glance across the room, from her loudly asking you if i was poly &amp; queer, this beautiful, loving poly quad has grown.

the movement from friends &amp; lovers - or play partners &amp; lovers - towards two or more people who are dating, is always a little...emo in some way. it&#039;s always a risk to tell someone you care. my thoughts are that at this point the best you can do for yourself, and for Varick, is to be honest about the thoughts and feelings you are sure of, and let him know there are more you are not sure of. that you genuinely like him as a person. that things moved in a different direction than you had anticipated. that at this point you would like: to continue playing? a little time to think? to ask how he feels about you? about dating?

anyways, hugs love. you have so much to offer all the loved ones in your life, not just those of us who call you a girlfriend. Varick should feel as honoured as the rest of us to have you in our lives :)
