whattingawhat | Tragedy Strikes! Buffy Summers, 27, dies of boredom

I could try again:

A chair walks into a bar and the bartender says, "We don't allow chairs." So the chair says, "That's okay, I have a leg up on you anyway. Four legs, that is."

Okay, bad joke.

Have you dated very inexpressive people who don't really discuss their feelings?

Bad. Really, really bad

...Yeah. Why?

Yeah, well, I'm full of bad jokes, really. Why would I advertise that?

I don't know. This guy I'm dating, one of the Watchers, he's quiet and bookish and completely clueless but his cluelessness makes him cute. And I guess I'm afraid of scaring him away. Coming on too strong or just not being good enough.

Bookish, quiet and clueless is hard. Uhm...time? I mean take it. be patient. My own taciturn guy situation was a lot different so my experience here is sorta limited.

You, Buffy Summers, had a taciturn guy? And time works. But hey, experience of any kind is helpful.

This is my first relationship.

Oh yeah...he made taciturn look chatty. He still does. I dunno just be there but don't push. That's my best advice.

No pushing. Hmm. OK.

[locked]

Has the slaying thing come up with Danny, yet?

Like I said, it's totally a guess. Angel and I did the whole pushing back and forth and stepping away and then not and it was a mess. I never knew what we were doing. But I think by just being there, he'll warm up to you and then maybe you can push a little.

[locked]

Nope. He's still pretty happy to take me on faith. I think maybe we're getting closer to a space he might be okay with it though. If that makes any sense? We had a big emo talk when I got back from Indiana and it kind of made me think that maybe he won't ask me to leave. Possibly. The thing is, he's got to be curious. He's got to want to know and he's got to wonder. Otherwise he's not going to want to believe it.

Well, he's warm. He told me he liked me a great deal. And he took the pink ball - and he gave me the purple one. They go together.

[locked]

It does, but he'd kill you for going off and fighting a war which btw, what was up with that? It's crazy that there are wars waged on demons under people's noses. Well, if it comes up? Don't lie. It's my only piece of advice.

Then again, I was committed so...

Okay so maybe it's time for a little push? Not a big one because of the quiet and bookish but a little one.

[locked]

Whether he'd kill me or not isn't up for debate. The only thing that would change on that front is he'd know enough to worry. This time, no worry because I was safe and sound at a certification clinic. Wars are waged with demons under people's noses all the time and have been for centuries. They choose not to see. If it comes up, I won't lie. But he's going to have to directly ask. Right now he's content to let me be. I think maybe he knows it's bad and he's trying not to ruin the happy.

No big. So was I.

Like a second date? Cooking for him?...I can't cook. Hmm...

[locked]

But he'd know you. All of you. And I get it. It's hard. It will - come up, I mean.

It always does.

You've been committed?

So definitely not cooking. Danny and I do lots of movie dates. Maybe it's boring old married couple stuff but if it's a rented movie you can curl up on the couch together, talk about the movie and not worry about anyone throwing popcorn at your head.

[locked]

Yeah and that's the part that's bothering me right now. He says he loves me but he's in love with someone who doesn't really exist. Just like half of me. If he weren't such a skeptic and such a scientist I wouldn't worry as much, but his whole life is about going where the evidence leads him. He's got to have evidence. It will and I know it will. I kind of dread it and look forward to it at the same time.

Yeah. Right after I became a slayer. I burned down my high school gym and I actually told the truth, said it was full of vampires. They committed me for it. It was like...four months or so.

I like popcorn, but that's a great idea. It increases the cuddle factor. He hasn't been cuddly but in his defense we haven't had a chance to be cuddly.

[locked]

You exist - even if you do go out at night and slay or save the world on occasion. He loves all of you, he just doesn't know it. Oh, right. C.S.I. guy. Well, if he needs evidence...take him on patrol?

Mine was a month. I kept quiet after a while. But my dad never looked at me the same way, again. Not even when I warned him of a dream I had.

And he died.

I can't imagine bookish, quiet and English being cuddly (he is English right? He said quite) but opportunity to cuddle is good

[locked]

I'm hoping he loves all of me. I've been in a relationship before where really he just wanted the not supergirl not dark parts of me. I'm afraid Danny just wants girl me. Supergirl me can be awfully hard for a guy to take. He's not the kind of guy that gets intimidated by strong women though so I'm hoping...

I've thought about taking him on patrol. And it's an option that's up for consideration. I'm just not sure he's at that point yet, you know? I think he needs to doubt what he knows a little more than he does.

Yeah well I'm stubborn but eventually I did learn that if I keep my mouth shut, they'd let me go. By the time I got out, Dad had moved out and they'd filed for divorce. I didn't see a lot of my Dad after that and none of him after I turned 18.

He is English and cute and amazing. Cuddling is amazing. Everyone should cuddle with someone. Danny a cuddler?

[locked]

He does. Deep down he loves that part of you. Supergirl you is hot. And badass and strong and just a part of who you are. There are facets of you, Buffy. You're the chosen ONE.

Not now of course but...yeah, patrol. Exactly. Dust a vamp right before his eyes.

Exactly. Same here. S'why it was only a month. Sorry about your dad.

He is with me. In general, I don't think so.

[locked]

Yeah yeah I'm amazing. Not everyone handles amazing me. We'll see how he does with it. Eventually.

S'okay I've got Giles and he more than makes up for.

Hee. Cute.

[locked]

Eventually is right

Okay. Whoever that is. I don't...have a father-figure, really.

He's so freaking adorable

[Locked]

Giles is my watcher. I'm lucky to have him. Some people get by without one. I would have. I just didnt have to.

Yep.

[locked]

I'm dating Bee's...if you couldn't tell. I'm glad you had Giles, then.

[locked]

Figured as much. Me too.
