Dude, I'm at Camp Lejeune/Jacksonville right now and have been for 30 years tattooing Marines.

When the cat's away, the mice will play. If she's doing this to you now and you have doubts, think how it's gonna be when you get stateside. She's saying one thing and doing another. Whether you say okay or not. Every guy she talks to is gonna make you wonder - did she or didn't she? I know being away from home/loved ones is tough, I've been there (USN 73-75;Nam Vet) but you gotta keep your head screwed on straight.

Stay friends till you get back, then see where it goes.

Someone once told me to "watch the feet". Meaning that if she wants to go further or be more with you, she'll move in that direction. If not, she'll move further away. But you ain't gonna be able to mentally be sure in Okie, or in the town you both are in.

Either way you'll have your answer.

Reminds me of the old Native American story about the 2 wolves. The one that lives in you, is the one you feed. Or the yin yang. Do you favor/feed the light (good) or the dark (bad) side?
