Calystra and Ceberon, Just scanned your threads - another rocket scientist. One suggestion came to mind: SIGN UP FOR DANCE LESSONS TOGETHER. This will become part of the new you=couple. Another warning/suggestion: VD's can be transmitted much later - you both need to be tested and then re-tested after 6 mo. As my OB/GYN says it is not a matter of 'if' just a matter of 'when' - there is no way for you to know if someone is 'safe' or 'clean' - get the tests...you need to know and some silent VD's can be treated/cured before permanentdamage is done - especially as you are so young. Keep doing what works. The desire to succeed, is the reason you will succeed. You have been blessed. Faith. Hope. Love. LSL
