Vent...

Though I've been telling myself not to get my hopes up about this woman I met, I did a little bit. It's kinda hard not to... after all, it's been since years before my divorce that I've had a meaningful emotional connection with a woman, and that's just a hard thing not to be effected by. Now I am getting the feeling that she's just not what I've

Sometimes when you look, you over-look. This whole potential romance is still new.

I apprecieate the vote of confidence, but I tend to always under-look, and then get screwed in the long-run. You are right that it is "new", but her views on monogamy, organized religion, and casual drug-use, among some other things just aren't giving me anything besides the fact that she's beautiful and intelligent to look forward to. And as much as I want to fool myself into believing that is enough, it just isn't for me. I could, perhaps, deal with the majority of it, but I'm not confident that I could be happy with it for long, and I'm much less willing to explore that possibility because I'm becoming pretty sure that she isn't going to be interested in doing Mass together, or participating in the Order.
Anyway, thanks for listening Sister.

Yeah, been there, done that. Finding more and more that I cannot get intimate with people outside the order. Too many barriers to understanding.

Admittedly there are Thelema-friendly folks with whom I could probably dally, but in general I think I am better off keeping it in the Order.
