How would you feel...

[SacrosanctFiend]

...about dating a girl who just got out of rehab for anorexia four months ago?

 

[Quasmo]

would having sex with her be like doing it with a k'nex set? If not, then yes.

 

[virtueixi]

Holy sh!t if my g/f could fly, that would be cool as hell!

 

[TheChort]

I dont know, how do you feel?

<----- really a psychologist at heart

 

[Chiropteran]

Lets see.

Girl?

check

Pulse?

check

Thats enough for me!

 

[AbAbber2k]

If she was hawt. Duh.

 

[SacrosanctFiend]

She's back to a normal weight (5'4 115lbs.), I never would have known unless she told me. Honestly, it doesn't bother me at all. I look at her the same as I did before I found out. Just wondering what other views were. All my friends freaked out, but they're immature dicks.

Might be nice. Im sure it wouldnt cost a lot to take her out to dinner.

what?...

 

Be prepared for her to have possibly weird eating habits (smooshing all her food together, compartmentalizing her meals on her plate, having lots of tiny meals instead of one large one, etc.). If this doesn't bother you, go for it.

There are at least a few mature people here, I don't have that luxury where I live. College campus and all. I'm willing to sift through useless drivel.

I'll make her check into sex addiction rehab.

I know you're not looking for advice, and this might already be obvious to you, but here are my 2 pennies:

If she is really getting over being anorexic, the last thing she wants is people treating her like she used to be anorexic. I think there is nothing wrong with going out with her if you feel right with it, but I would recommend putting the whole anorexic thing out of your head, cuz then it will lead you to feel sorry for her at times or to treat her differently based on your assumptions about her ex-anorexia.

EDIT: but if it is something big on your mind, make sure you talk to her about it

so she was treated professionally? if so then she is on the road to recovery, you would be smart to understand her needs.

If she SAYS she is recovering, chances are she would benefit from some sort of professional intervention, in which case she is still a mental mess and you might not be the best thing for her right now.

just giving it to you plainly.

 

[Kibbo]

What exactly are your friends saying about her?

She likely has tons of personal issues, and those always come out in a relationship. If you're insensitive about things like that, you might as well walk away for her sake. Apart from that, I'd hit it.

 

[DAGTA]

Why not?

Everyone has issues/problems. She told you about a major one in her life... so she confided in you some. That's a good thing.

too much emotional baggage for me, abort.

Coming out of what I just came out of, that's what I was worrying about. I've grown up with this girl through some really hard stuff though, enough so that something like this doesn't bother me. I'm willing to give it a shot, and I'm gonna hear about it regardless of if we're dating or not. I might be weird, but it just doesn't bother me. Bitching about unimportant stuff does, but not this.

i would say "look Ashley, can you write me a check?"
