Go on dating apps and have awkward dates in the terminal.

Report back.

Oh I did this in Seattle airport recently and we had absolutely nothing in common.
He was an investment banker type and did not understand that I was a free spirited vagrant.
It was nice not having to pretend we would ever see each other again or keep in touch.

Sounds like the start of a rom com to me

You'll bump into each other in various airports in the future and he'll fall for your spirit and you'll bring out his. Of course plenty of long gazes across the terminal.

And I'll be the next Nora Ephron.

It's the Hilary Duff avatar.

I saw a hallmark movie about two people who met in the airport when their flight was delayed

Rigo's Mile High Romance
Buckle you seatbelt, but unbuckle your heart!

Missed the gun discussion. I personally think we need a SERIOUS improvement in background checks, and also think semi-automatics should be banned from civilian ownership.

Edit: Really don't even think military personnel should own semi-automatics unless it's necessary for their job.

Def watching Gilmore Girls right now. No shame.

So good.

Edit: I will just say that my boyfriend likes to pretend he hates Gilmore girls but when I'm watching it he totally watches it with me and laughs at all the jokes.

Please tell me you're trolling because it is statements like this that show why people that have no idea what they're talking about shouldn't try to express an opinion about these kinds of things.

(Really not trying to be mean as our interactions before this have been nothing but cordial and i would like to keep it that way)

I wouldn't jump to assuming someone who holds that view does so out of ignorance of the situation. It's quite possible someone believes that weapons with an automatic eject, re-chamber, and re-cock mechanism are too dangerous.

It's certainly a rather staunch view, but it doesn't have to be because they don't know the definition.

I think the military edit took it to a point that it didn't have to be an assumption. Although i guess muzzleloader season would get a little bit longer if this was the case so there might be some upside.

Ehh I read that edit as allowing military personnel to own semi-auto weapons themselves. I didn't take it that have any bearing on what was issued to them in combat, but idk that's really just going off of the word own

"necessary for their job" tells me that it goes past personal use.

All of my friends (including me lol) are getting engaged - It isn't surprising that your last year of undergrad would be the time if you've been together a long time/it make sense for a couple to, I guess.

[KME89]

Thoughts on getting engaged before going to law school with the knowledge that you won't be getting married until after you pass the bar and get a job?

I feel like it's a long time to be engaged but if you'd rather have that label vs. 'Dating for however long' I'd say go for it. There's no formula for this type of thing so if it makes you guys happy/more comfortable I think it's cool.

Anecdotal but my soon-to-be sister in law dated her husband for 9 years and was then engaged for 2 and a half or so while she was in med school and it worked fine for them. They were waiting until they could actually be in same city long-term.

Personally I hate long engagements (>18 months), I would postpone until after law school. You could propose at graduation!

Find what is comfortable with you and don't worry about these societal constructs. If you are going to be together then you will be one way or another and without whatever label society puts on it.

Like others have already said, you do what's best for you & your situation! There aren't rules to this

However, the benefits I could see to being engaged for a long time (ie all of law school) are that you have pleeeeenty of time to plan the wedding and don't need to feel rushed (which will be good, considering you'll be a busy law student). I was engaged for almost exactly one year, and while I thought that was plenty of time to plan a wedding, it was actually really stressful (and I'm very glad I wasn't in law school at the time).

Just my two cents!

Re: Veep. My husband & I tried to watch the first episode and did NOT get into it. Should we try again, or if we didn't like the first episode is it a lost cause?

fwiw, Parks & Rec is one of our all-time favorite shows.

[Rigo]

I think Veep took a few episodes for me to get into, and I never got super INTO it but it was enjoyable enough.

Oh no!
It's just my favorite comedy and relationship goals even though it's a ~shocker!~ catastrophe.
