- here is how i see this relationship - he would spend every moment with her, she seems him sometimes, as a friend, whenever she's got some time to kill - Andie Jul 11, 13:04 1
  - she's probs getting people asking, "oh, where's LW?" when she's out alone or with dude. (this is my life.) it's not cool. -- nm - amanda Jul 11, 13:05

  - well, that might not be fair. she is in a relationship with someone else. maybe she doesn't want people thinking she's dating the Letter Writer - Andie Jul 11, 12:57 4
    - (also - you know he secretly loves people thinking they are a thing.) -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 12:58 3

      - I think the point is that temp jobs are fine, but spending a billion dollars on - TWuG Jul 11, 12:33 22

        It would be better to use the alternative loosilu posed, which is that it might otherwise sit as liquid assets - con_carne Jul 11, 12:57
        
        well sure. I don't think they were gonna, though. -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 12:51 1
