like if it were someone you really liked and respected? responsible, fun, funny, good. and yes, hott.
someone you actually respect as a human being. someone not 18 (and no carligula, not 16 or 17 or even 19) and psycho and doesn't threatens to shave their head if you try to leave and someone who doesn't try to trap you in the most fucked up way.
and maybe someone that if ex friends and ex other things found out about they'd be absolutely pissed off and insanely jealous.

No.

Screw that. I don't have alot of stuff, but I definitely don't want to give half of it away when I feel the need to get divorced.

I guess you could sign a prenuptial agreement or get an annulment, if you're lucky enough for any of that stuff to hold up in court.

But basically, from what I've seen, chicks get the best deal out of divorces. You won't find me jumping into marriage, epecially for the wrong reasons.

i don't really get the situation. is it someone you're currently dating or just a friend? why would the marriage be just for fun? what does it lack to make it a not just for fun marriage? would it be the wedding itself that would be the just for fun part? or the whole marriage? and most importantly, can the press combine your name with his in such a way that is annoying to everyone you know (ie "brangelina" and "bennifer")?

either way, i'd probably still do it.

Didn't Britney already do this? I didn't think you'd stoop to that level Sina.

did you completely miss the responsible and respectable part? and especially the hott part? this isn't that situation.

but what do you consider the right reasons? cos i've already done that.
and i mean of all the divorced people i know not one of them was like 'well, it was an arrangement of sorts and well, it just didn't work' nah, it's all 'i thought he/she loved me' and stuff.

it's not someone i'm dating. i'm not into dating or relationship blahs. and it's funny how you look a boy in the eye and say that and then your phone starts ringing every 5 minutes and the lets get married and the i love yous flow like honey and i'm like 'um hello?!'
i guess he's a friend, maybe. we've shared the same bestfriend since highschool, only we hated each other in highschool.
so now for me it'd be like marrying my bestfriend, well, the straight version. what does it lack? the dating, the long term relationship that is "suppose" to happen before marriage.

I guess the right reasons are different for every person. That's an individualistic question. But I guess you could say one of the right reasons is LOVE. Again, very individually defined.

But as for me, I don't really believe in 'the one'. I don't think there is just one perfect person that is my match, and we'll just know it, and we'll fall in love happily ever after.

I think that love is a growing thing that develops over time. And eventually, you've hung around someone long enough and gotten to know someone well enough that you can think to yourself, "shit, it would be hard as hell to become this comfortable around anyone else." "This may be as good as it gets."

That's my view on love, not very romantic I know.

its quite appealing. i sort of got engaged a couple of nights ago on those very conditions.
then i remembered that i was 17. oops!

i almost got married in november
then i remembered he was 18

but he wasn't responsible. just tall, hott, and obsessive. times two.

i know it's cliche, but if you have to ask, probably not a good idea. i knew after two weeks that i wanted to and HAD to marry my best friend and we had a wonderful life together.

but if you don't have the friendship and trust in marriage, what do you have really? you can totally be in love with someone but just not be able to live with them, so that would suck. personally, i think marriage should be about security. i don't just mean in the financial sense (but that DOES make things a heck of a lot easier), but also someone who can make you feel mentally and emotionally secure.

isn't that the singer's name in be your own pet?

bet she'd never to something like this.

i agree with most of what you've said except for maybe the last part and that's only because of the way i am. i don't feel the need to have to be with someone and i don't really necessarily want to be with someone. unfortunately i've gone with other people's flow instead of my own and keep ending up with hott, yet needy and dependant guys that are very difficult to get rid of.

this started out as a joke. but the more we joked about it the more we were like 'why not?' and that last paragraph could describe him, too. except maybe exchange the word 'hott' with 'cute.' but yeah, we've known each other for 10 years now and i'm glad that i get to check yes or no.

omg, we're luke and lorelei

um, what?


i didn't "have to ask." this is a discussion. like who is adventurous and spontaneous enough to do something that would be considered outrageous to most but fun to others. and lemme guess, you're tons of fun on a friday night?!

please elaborate. cos from what i can make of this, you consider someone you've known for two weeks to be your bestfriend and then you got married and now you're dead.

this doesn't apply to the situation at hand.

i do all of this on my own, for the most part.

sina, we have a problem...it seems that our little crazy getaway to Vegas last summer has left us legally married in the state of Nevada....its nothing against you...but i need a divorce....
