Well, ya'll, imagine my surprise when I found this poll here...
Ah well, since it's out it's out... However I will say here, as I did over there, that in my 2 days of absence from the forums (I usually don't have internet access at home on the weekends, today's an exception) people put it way over-board. There was good advise on both sides, but I don't think it warented... how many replies... like 80 or 90, or something like that, many of them coulda just been deleted from the fact that it was just spatting back & forth, and not actually dealing with the main question... Is it worth persuing a relationship with a man, who though Buddist, has shown more Orthodox qualities than many Orthodox men I know. I don't casual date, ask anyone... I don't believe in it really, and I'm not frivoulous enough (though I am a bit frivoulous), to do it just to have a good time. If I persue this, it will be intended for long-term. So, though I never intended to post this here, that is my reason for posting it on another board. Take what you will from it.
Now I really gotta pack for OZ.
Toodles,
Ania
