Well, Mom is SO not into the age gap between Chase and I. She's jumping to all kinds of conclusions about sex and marriage and expectations (although she says she's not jumping ANY conclusions). I have to say, there's an expectation for sex no matter how old the guy I date is. Being almost twenty, I have the same chance of being pressured for sex by anyone, not just men over twenty-five.
Don't get me wrong--just because Chase is a Christian, etc, doesn't mean I don't know that he's still a guy between the ages of 13 and 90. It's just disheartening that Mom places that little trust in my decision-making capabilities and in my faith. And I'm also not saying I won't want to, because I will. But, as most of you will account for, I'm not exactly the type to give into "the heat of the moment".
Gah. The most frustrating part is her complete skepticism. I haven't exactly told her that we plan to keep things up after I leave, but she's just been like "Well, I'm just glad you're leaving in a week. You guys need some distance from each other." As if we're suctioned to each other by the lips every chance we get. As if this has been a summer-long infatuation between a fourteen-year-old and a twenty-year-old.
Hey, Mom? What the hell are you taking about?
So, now she basically thinks we're going to break up in a week's time. (We're not.)
I'm not even saying Chase and I are getting super serious or anything like that! I'm just not going to throw this away after a week. I'm willing to try it, to keep talking. I think I'm doing the right thing here, and I really think you guys would love him.
Thoughts? I'll take criticism! :P
Love,
Alyssa

guess you already know my thoughts on long distance relationships...but before i make too many enemies, i suppose it works out better for some than for others.
in other news, the dollar is up! the euro (and pound) are down! hurrah!
Em, I'm usually completely with you. But I can't help but want to go for it.
I guess that since this is the point in the relationship where Chase and I would be spending way more time together, and now that we're going to be apart, I guess I don't want to waste a potentially good thing. And we're not really each other's whole world right now, either, which means we won't be depending on each other or anything like that.
I just want to do the damn thing. :P
my mom doesn't even think i swear. don't sweat it.
Abs, your moms is behind the times.
Alyssa, this is super exciting!
