excuses!

so - moushumi has a point in that he does sound like that type of person. BUT his roommates pushed you! they see him around different groups of people, so they know if he acts differently towards you/talks differently about you/yells out your name in his sleep.

i think using this immediate deadline is a little cruel for everyone involved - but what if he goes to india and meets someone? hello, do i NEED to remind you of friends?! ross goes off to (insert random country here) and as he's leaving, rachel realizes she loves him. when he comes back, he's dating julie!!!! sure, timing sucks - but it will be even worse to pine away for him for the next year, put him up on a pedestal where no one in your day to day life can compare and then have him come back over you . . .

so, as long as you keep in mind that there is going to be a year of transition period a gazillion miles from each other - and you still believe the alternative is more painful - go for it.

look at me, all handing out love advise :) what, one reasonably successful relationship and i'm suddenly an expert?????

and footnote - i LOVED before sunset. maybe i'm just more artsy than the rest of you and rupa's mom :)
