In terms of approaching someone Halcyon. I've never understood how people can approach someone theye never spoken too and say they have feelings. Surely the first step is to speak, if there are real feelings IMHO you dont have to tell someone, they will know, its called building a relationship.
Im met my wife and the first few times i met her it was with friends, then we did the "lets go to the coast" thing on a sunday and then kept seeing each other at the weekends and on the odd day in the week. In terms or a loving relationship i'd say it was about 6 months before we moved to that point. But hey im not saying this works for everyone but 15 years later were still together and been married 6 years. All i'd say is "Theres no rush"

Completely agree on all points! Lots of songs mean lots of things to me. While me and mrs towny were 'going out' (a bit of a poor description as I was living in Wirral and she was in Glasgow) she used to make me compilation tapes from her extensive CD collection that I would play in my car. At the time they were a very nice link to her, and spoke volumes as she always chose songs with lyrics in order to send me a message. But I find it painful to hear some of those songs on the radio now, because now we're married and together all the time, they just remind me of a time when we would only see each other for one weekend every 2 or 3 months!
As for taking your time, I couldn't agree more. Mostly our relationship developed by letter, as we used to write to each other a couple of times a week but only saw each other rarely. I think we got a very good foundation in our relationship as a result. If a 'relationship' is based on anything so superficial as physical attraction, then what happens when that person gets old and wrinkly, or, perish the thought, suffers a disfigurement for some reason?
