Sounds like it's something you might be interested in.

Read it, don't like it.

alllllllllllllllllllllrighty then

:) I'm glad Josh Harris found something that worked for him, but he writes his book like his way is the only way. I can agree with some of the things he says, but he legislates it, and I find his style to be a pita.

Interesting.

I've never read it before....a good friend of mine did. He said that many good points were brought up and it was a great book. Two years after he read it he was engaged :confused:

There are people it works for. I just find the book to be pushy and restrictive. I'm not against being selective in how you date and develop relationships, or how you don't date and develop relationships! but he makes his experiences and conclusions universal, and I think that God can work outside the Josh Harris box far more than he allows.

The way I see it there is nobody else before me.

they're an ex for a reason. That reason is so she could find me.

First ex was a sex-crazed jerk who actually used the "if you love me you'll..." line to get his way.
Second ex was an asocial jerk who told her that when he looked at her he thought to himself "is that all?"
So basically I would punch them both in the face if I could.

My current gf's ex's are all fat-ass idiots who can barely take care of themselves. So I'm not too terribly worried about them. My ex-fiancee's boyfriends since me have been almost exact mirrors of me :)confused: so why did you break up with me??), and my last gf left me for a mall cop. Yeah. Not touching that one.

Nothing. Don't even know them. They weren't serious anyway, so it's not a big deal. Not that it would be if they had been, either.

Heh.

They can't fight very well. I've already beaten the daylights out of three of them, just to prove myself to her.

She's still friends with most of them. They seem like nice enough guys. I don't mind them.

Was that before, or after they got her pregnant?

he is a nice enough guy. we were friends for awhile...not particularly close but he is a very reclusive person so.
lots of issues, though. sometimes fun, almost always frustrating to talk to.

(also: music snob)

I like your way of thinking, spidey. :)

I would also love to tell my bf that he was my first, but I can't. But my ex's hold the status they do for a reason. There was something better out there for me, and none of them cut it.

Even thinking this way, however, I hate knowing that my bf was with some other girl before me, whether he loved her or not. I basically think that she is scum, and if she fell of the edge of the planet, I'd make a point in being there to bade her a fond farewell. I don't really have any reason to feel this way, she never personally did anything to me. But she was with my bf and sounds like she was not a very good person, and that's reason enough. :|

One of those jerks who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger, eh?
