Quicky Survey

It has come to my attention that during Andrew's visits- the two of us are apparently guilty of exhibiting behavior that some might view as overly sentimental while in public. While I confess, neither of us is in the habit of the low-level-degradation that seems to be normal couple banter in nerd circles, I hadn't realized we erred on the side of being saccharine.

In an attempt to rectify this behaviour- I'm hoping you can tell me what exactly (and hopefully when) the offending behaviours are, because I don't want to make people uncomfortable.

Feel free to leave anonymous comments. I just want to know.

In my opinion, given the physical distance that separates the two of you most of the year, most behavior that would distinguish the two of you as a couple in public is perfectly reasonable. I mean, you didn't exactly shove all the Chrononauts cards off the table and start making out with Andrew right there, did you? I can't say I've studied your relationship, but from what I can tell it's nice not to be sniping at each other (albeit playfully) all the time like the rest of us do.

Well, I won't say it wasn't difficult to restrain myself. There's just something about the repeated murder and resurrection of Hitler that just drives a girl wild, y'know?

How odd. I consider you guys somewhat reserved compared to a lot of nerdy couples.

Considering the difficult circumstances under which you guys' relationship is conducted and how little time you have to spend together, it's kind of sad that the fault is somehow yours and that you assume that you've made some kind of mistake that needs to be rectified. I'd place the onus on others to rectify the stick out of their ass. As long as you're not groping one another in public like 14 year olds, it's really no one else's concern how you conduct yourselves.

Tell Andrew he needs to wear pants next time he visits.

But really... I think you guys are entitled to a fair amount of mush, given the circumstances. I just usually try not to become a third wheel, so you guys don't have to feel guarded. Have lots of makeouts, but don't do it in the middle of Central Market. It's more of a tasteful-kiss-on-the-cheek sort of place than a makeout-in-the-middle-of-produce establishment. Well, from what I hear, at least. I've never been there...

I believe that the only appropriate behavior is to maintain a respectful distance, at least 3 feet, at all times. Exceptions are allowed if you are bringing him food. At most, in times of very extreme emotion, you may touch hands, provided at least one of you is wearing gloves. You should refer to each other as 'sir' and 'madam'. If you want, I can refer you to some proper Victorian literature.

OR.... take it to the MAXXX. Jump his bones on the dinner table, and from that point on, everything else will seem restrained by comparison.

My roommate ansd her dude always have to be touching. I can't talk to one of them for litterally 5 minutes bfore they start kissing each other. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CONVERSATION.

And its not like they're making out, they do the little kissies over and over complete with sound.

If you're not doing that, then you're good.
