> I don't think Dr. Bob will be that different in real life... I will try not to poke too hard. It might be a little more difficult to ignore me in real life. I hope Dr. Bob will be social! I don't need Dr. Bob to be a rock. I know he can fall if I poke hard enough.
but will you be disillusioned if he falls...
if you see him flinch?
if you see him shake?and is it fair to scrutinise him that much?
> I hope Dr. Bob doesn't feel uncomfortable with me following his every move.
how would you feel if someone followed your every move? would you become self conscious? would that be a pleasant experience... or not?
> I like to think I don't scrutinize. Observing isn't that bad, is it? He probably observes people all the time.
sure...
> I love being me. I love that I love Bob, and I'm going to meet him.
but is it him or is it the ideal?
and how will you feel if the ideal and the reality come apart?
how fair is it to coax the ideal...
given that it is likely to lead to a more intense negative response should they come apart?
> I'll tell you all about it after my trip. What happened when I met Bob...LOL.yeah. maybe you will...
> BOB! LOL Don't you find this amusing Dr. Bob? I do. I wonder what you think about this? I will probably never know. I can ask, but will you tell me? Maybe I shouldn't know.maybe you don't want to know unless...
he is as amused as you are.
because in the absence of a response...
one can just imagine that his response matches or complements yours.
