(I love this and so do both my sisters) - anyway, I just had to weigh in about the cable. Check out getting a sling box. You'd hook it up at his house and watch his tv on your laptop. Even if he is home watching a channel you can also watch a different channel on your laptop. I live in Florida and am retiring to Brooklyn - rather than buy cable for our apt in Brooklyn, I've hooked up my slingbox down here for the occasional weekend viewing in Brooklyn. Works great and beats paying two cable bills! I’ve been enjoying your blog for a few months - as a lurker. (I love this and so do both my sisters) - anyway, I just had to weigh in about the cable.

Plan C is still a prince charming. I see that you have decided to tell him about your blog. Perhaps the most interesting thing about your blog is that it shows that people do not turn into all- knowing relationship experts with experience and years. We are all still vulnerable and approach relationships with probably MORE caution than we did in our 30's (when thing were not so affected by gravity). We have different expectations and are armed with a greater wisdom, but we probably have greater doubt than we did when we really needed it. I feel your doubt has been removed. I see none of the subtle annoyance I read clearly from your other dating experiments. You know what you want. You found it. I could not be more happy for you. Relationships like this one are rare in a lifetime. To find a man that does not treat one as arm candy, that respects one's opinion, that does not try to MOLD a woman to suit him....that's special. He believes you are a princess. I ask you...does he have any brothers? I’ve been absent for a while and have had to catch up. Plan C is still a prince charming.
