it was suggested to me that if i don't feel comfortable calling mr. onion back, i should email him in order to get to know him better and take things slowly. my "love advisor" (now, is that with an "e" or an "o"? sorry, i'm too lazy to look it up) brought up the fact that women are oftentimes pressured to "decide" immediately whether or not they're attracted to a guy, or whether or not they'll get physically intimate with a guy, etc. she quoted robert mcnamara from the documentary, "the fog of war: eleven lessons from the life of robert s. mcnamara" when he said:

"after courting my wife for nine months, it finally started to work."(this isn't verbatim; i'm paraphrasing what my advisor probably paraphrased).

i wonder. was this one of the eleven lessons?

high five, bobby. for all you guys out there: you gotsta chill. you're better off sitting back and taking the route of the tortoise, not the hare.

regardless, i still haven't emailed mr. onion, either. it was also recommended that i work on my relationship skills by being more courteous and straightforward with guys about my true feelings. does that mean i should write mr. onion and say:

"look. i'm not sure when i want to see you in person, again, since i can't figure out if i like you, like you. so, do you mind if i not see you physically, but get to know you first as an electronic pen pal?"

who am i kidding? shit. it'll have been a week since he called and i haven't responded. at this point, an email would be insulting.

what should i do? abort mission? abort mission? infiniti to homebase. infiniti to homebase. HELP!
