Ask me your questions, Bridgekeeper. I am not afraid.

(Yoinked from [livejournal.com profile] jasmydae)

You get to ask me any one question--no matter how crazy, inappropriate, etc.--and I promise to answer it truthfully. So, go for it!
(You can ask multiple questions; I will answer truthfully, but only *have* to answer the first one :-p)

"If circumstances permitted" is a rather vague phase to use. Even at that, it's not a simple question to answer. I don't know. I like her daughter and, for my part, I like her name (though I really hate the diminutive Sara's given her). I like her family; her dad's a cool guy, her mom's always been a generally-nice lady, and her sisters are alright (which here means I've always kind of liked Amanda and though I've never known Katrina much I've also never not-liked her). And Sara's a nice girl.

Trouble is, there's a lot more to it than that. I think Sara and I agree on how children should be raised, which is encouraging if I stop to think about it because it seems rather few ladies I encounter agree with me on those points. And I think that like me she wants to be a good Catholic. But I can't really say how I would feel about her, or Us, "if circumstances permitted." I don't know if there would be that spark of chemistry which... I don't know. It seems like an important key, and I'm not so sure I'm shallow for saying so. I'm not sure, either, that I'm the man she thinks I am, but I can't say how much that would matter.

In the end, I really can't say. What I can say is that I want the best for her, I want her to be happy and healthy and fulfilled; but I don't have much place in that as things stand, and I'm not sure I ever could.

You're not shallow for saying so, believe me.

-smiles- Aye. I've had first- and second-hand experience which tells me so.
Still... there's a part of me that wishes that weren't an issue. And that part pouts when things like that come up.
