USS Martenclaire:
My prediction for tomorrow is that its the following morning. We see Marten kiss Claire goodbye at the door and we have no idea whether they slept together, kissed and cuddled or built a duvet fort together. :p

For our third date one week later, I took her up to a really romantic place, and viscious makeouts were had.
Were we moving too fast? Too bad.

Well, you're not Claire. She takes it slow - she didn't kiss Marten because he was drunk, she obviously wanted make-outs but went for Ice-cream..

I was referring to 'too soon', in comparison to my own personal pace (which is akin to that of a tortoise on barbituates), not as any overt criticism. To each their own.
Is it cold in here?:
I think that would be great!
Come of think of it, there is one thing in the course of Marten and Claire's relationship that happened with unusual speed. She was impressively quick to size up Marten's character and realize he could be trusted with a major, indeed safety-related, confidence.
Everything else has been hesitant or self-disciplined ("I hate being reasonable").
EDIT: Let's make the duvet fort the new forum headcanon.
(How would an anxious person embarking on her first relationship feel if her makeout partner fell asleep?)

See, I really don't mind if people are at least consistent with their judgements about when it's too soon to hop into bed with someone. I mean if that's what works for you, and even if you feel that that's how other people should act as well, then that's awesome, no judgements here (as long as you're just as respectful of other people's choices anyway). The main reason that this whole thing with Claireten irked me is because the number of people who seem concerned about how quickly they might get into bed together seems to be significantly larger than the number of people who were concerned about any other couple/pairing. I mean it may just be (on these forums anyway) that more people care about Claire and Marten than Marigold and Dale for example, but based on some of the comments that I've seen, not just on these forums, but elsewhere on the web as well, it's pretty obvious that there's another reason for that concern beyond just the sheer size of each character's fanbase. And that reason is why I got my back up.
Ultimately, I honestly don't care if people want to discuss whether or not you should hop into bed with someone after being in a relationship with, or even just knowing them for a few days. I mean I still don't feel that it's any of their business, or mine for that matter, but as long as they're respectful and just stating an opinion without being forceful or judgemntal about it, then it's whatever. Trans* status is different though, it's far more personal than simple matters of perceived propriety, and not something that should be discussed by anyone other than the trans* person themselves, and/or anyone they choose to discuss it with. (She repeats yet again. lol)
... Yay for another needlessly long and repetitive post. Sorry, I guess I'm in a bit of a ranty mood tonight. haha

Among other things, my post there was an attempt to short-circuit some of the Far Too Frequently Asked Questions that even the ambassadorial types get tired of seeing.
Please do PM with suggestions for any changes you see as necessary or advisable.

I'll keep that in mind, thank you. :)
