And, dammit...I hit send before I was finished with that thought, but I wonder if there is possibly a third option going on here (aside from being scared of R or just wanting to get laid). From the beginning, you have seemed very taken by the idea that she is so totally into you and in some ways, I actually think that is kind of sweet because it is nice to see people who have been taken for granted in the past get some attention. All that makes me wonder if this woman has somehow become some sort of challenge to you that you are determined to be the one who gets her to go against her usual M.O. and sleep with you without the confines of an R. I can't remember who said it the other day (maybe Ginger), but my fear is that if you do somehow get her into bed without having an actual talk, she's going to latch on in a big way and then she really is going to get hurt, which in turn is going to hurt you because I honestly don't believe that you have any intention of hurting this woman in any way. That just doesn't jive with the person you seem to be based on your posts. You just don't strike me as a callous playboy that will use a woman for his own gratification then toss her aside.
