Article-I.D.: otuxa.183 Posted: Tue Jan 11 09:00:36 1983 Received: Wed Jan 12 06:47:50 1983 It seems only fair that since I was the one who raised the discussion of seeing someone on the rebound, that I "report in" now and then. To date (and we all want to do that, right?), J and I have been out twice, the latest time being last Sunday. I have noticed that on both occasions she has mentioned her former engaged to type person, but I can't really say she is constantly thinking of him, I think it just sort of came up. For one thing she's really pissed at him because he hasn't sent something of hers back and now she needs it (so it came up in that context , not like she was thinking about it ALL the time, if that makes sense to you all!). ALSO, we definitely seem to have had a good time, and , I hope , are on the way to becoming friends. Finally, she went out of her way to arrange for our second date, i.e. I happened to mention in my opening remarks when I called that I would be out of town the weekend of 1/15, and THEN I asked her out for weekend of 1/8. Turns out it really would have been more convenient for her to not see me 1/8; but she decided to anyway since I wasn't going to be around the weekend after. At the very least, this is being very considerate, and the other end of the spectrum, she went a little out of her way to get together because she likes me (I know the preceding is a violation of the "Single Persons Guaranteed Paranoia ACT", section 5, sub paragraph b --> "It is a violation of this act for a single person to interpret an act of a MOTOS occurring on the first three dates as a positive sign of liking his personality traits under penalties described in section 9."
