expert chiming in here...
the first date goes well, yes.. go on a few to see if the connection there. MY issue has always been after about the 6 month mark is where it gets tough, i find my worst arguments or disagreements come around this time.
my 6 month anniversary just passed on the 3rd and last couple days have been very touch and go with my gf..
it was the same with my last gf and with my ex fiance...
as for soccer....
fees for my team are $65 for 12 weeks of soccer, coed is ALOT less competitive then my mens league i play in as well, so i always find myself being more aggressive then i really need to be... if you are interested, ill talk to the guy running my group, there are spots in different nights... outdoor we play in the SE/NE most of the time.. indoor we play at NW soccer centre/Viper dome/Eastside (NE)

^^^wow, that's a HUGE probationary period! 
IMHO, common moral ground is a biggie;
If there's a mutual attraction, and it lasts - by the two year mark there had better be a ring and a date, or both parties are just wasting their time...

Although I do not agree with you, I can respect your opinion.
This subject also speaks to if the couple has common moral foundation from which to build their relationship;
I personally feel that "living together" is really just marriage without the commitment.
Were I in a relationship with a woman, I would trust she had the same convictions as myself, and would see living together as something simply unacceptable.
If that doesn't make any sense, maybe i can give some insight with this small example;
Q: Where is the big change from living together to married & living together?
A: There really isn't any - which is why taxation and bereavement laws were revised to recognize a couple living together for "x" amount of time as common-law, and with common-law status comes any benefits (ect) that a married couple has.
Well, at least that's my opinion.
This does not touch on your take on the passing of time either;
If you're fine with waiting four years before proposal, why not wait five - and that cycle continues...
Either the person is someone you love, and want to spend the rest of your life with, or they're not...
Sorry, I'll stop with the opinions in that subject.
... on a totally unrelated note, is anyone getting nearly as bummed out as me with seeing the snow startng & stopping all day?
It's like you see the snow, get a little bummed out...
> then it stops, so you level out...
>> then it starts again, and you get just a little more bummed out...
I wanna be laying on a beach somewhere , basking in the sun right about now.

Lips are both on. Rear is absolute crap compared to the front, since I cut the slits too big and a couple of them are visible above the lip. 
Hoping it's not terribly noticeable. Paint also seems to be just SLIGHTLY off as my rear fascia has faded a bit, I'll have to see it in the sun to be sure. Overall I'm pretty damn proud as this is the biggest thing I've done to a car by myself.
Thanks to everyone I PM'd for help!

That's a sure sign of sanity buddy!

For a domestic naturally aspirated four cylinder car, it's no slouch;
Probably the third fastest in the group.
Actually, you can probably take the domestic part out of the first statement and it will still hold true.

for me i find around the 2 years marker of dealing with something i usually get frustrated and i will want a change lol (2 years at a job,2 years of living in the same place, 2 years dealing with the same people etc). and i just think living together first is important since its a major loss of personal space. IMO if you can live together and be happy for a year it will probably work out. and then you can then start saving money and preparing for the wedding.

I could do that, yeah. It's really tiny slits... I probably overreacted, it's barely noticeable on the car. I'm going to pick up some touch up paint anyway cause I dropped my low rise on the concrete and chipped the corner after I took it off the other day. lol fail

Let alone I get bored. Chances are you won't keep my attention past the year mark anyways.

Did I just read that?!?!?
You should hang your head in shame - bondo is not meant to cover up holes ect - it's purely meant to straighten out minor imperfections in body work... and even then it's grossly over used.

pretty much any way without the use of bondo.
you either plastic weld, or replace the skin all together.
bondo will sooner or later literally be held in place purely with the paint - shortly after which, it will come off.
you might be able ot get some sort of epoxy to bond to the plastic - but bondo does not live up to the 'bond' in it's name.
come on - have you never seen parts of car's litterally pop off because it was all bondo?

Agreed. You can be perfectly fine hanging out/sleep overs etc. You lose space when you live together. Which is such a key component in any healthy relationship. Ontop of that sometimes you just can't live together, work around each other. That kind of thing. Even with roomates little things can get to you. Like someone leaving clothes in every inch of your house, but never picking them up. Making small problems bigger because your already edgy over stuff that seems small, but gets really annoying.
Let alone I get bored. Chances are you won't keep my attention past the year mark anyways.
