I’m trying to get outside my own head here to see what other people might do given a certain set of circumstances. I know what I’ve written, but I can’t help thinking it needs a reality check. I seriously want to know what people might do in these situations.
Here’s the situation, Part 1: You’ve just met someone, but the chemistry is terrific, and everything you learn about him/her is terrific, and you come to believe in his/her sincerity, sensitivity, and many other endearing qualities. Even though it’s only been a few days, you think you might be falling in love. Then someone you don’t know sends an email saying there are things about this person you don’t know and should know. Almost no one knows you’ve been dating, so how did this person know? They direct you to a website where you can learn more about this. Do you…?
- Click through immediately to see what this is all about.
- Some other thing I’ll discuss in the comments.
- Decide that everybody gets up to crazy stuff when they’re fifteen and dismiss it out of hand.
- Decide to have a serious talk with your PB, but trust his/her explanation of the situation.
- Decide you’re not going to have anymore to do with PB unless PB proves her/himself worthy of further trust.
- Confront PB, but take time alone to think things through, and never feel quite the same.
- Confront PB, take time alone to think things through, then cave like a girly man and run after him/her.
- Get a new plot twist because this one ain’t cutting it.
- Write your own damned novel.
- Some other thing I’ll discuss in the comments.
