when she said, "i dont know how else to explain it.. he's different from the other guys i've met". i replied quite quaintly, "have you ever thought of the possibility that this guy is only different to you because he has never met a girl like you before? he could be.. hm.. inexperienced with your higher level of experience? then with that in mind, would you consider that down-grading?"
"what do you mean?"
"well, i'm pretty sure you know his past - and he knows yours. but look at what you've gone through.. and what he's gone through. you're the girl that's got him on a whole new level of relationship. but for you, you've BEEN through that level already. you're not as amazed as he is. you've got more experience with this. wouldnt you want a guy who's at your level or higher?"
"hmm. i never really.."
"..thought about that?"
"yeah.. iono he's just different. but i can change him"
"oh yeah true. it'll be like your 'project'. i just think about this sort of thing sometimes coz its like, with your past you're used to being treated as His, as girlfriend-status. but with him it's like.."

"..tend to over-analyze things?"
"yeah.. even the simplest things aren't so simple anymore.. everything just got more complex.. like this idea on top of another idea branches off into another idea.. hoo! i hate over-analyzing."
"yeah me too."
