quick question

how do you bring up serious relationship topics without being all scary and making the other person think something is wrong? 'cause i have some things i want to discuss with the boy, but i'm not sure how to start the conversation in a normal, non-scary fashion. i also don't want to pretend to "accidentally" stumble on the topic, which is a tactic that often works, but is really not what i'm going for here.

heh. that would work if he read ljs. he knows i have one, but i don't think he's ever actually visited it...i'm fairly certain he has the url, but i don't think it's ever occured to him to read it, as far as i know.

the thing i worry about with saying something like that is that it's too easy to have a statement like, "there's something i'd like to talk about" be interpreted to mean "something's wrong and needs to be dealt with." i guess i just need to come up with a strong disclaimer to make sure that doesn't happen. the key words thing is a really good idea, though, 'cause knowing me, i'd miss something completely and then have to figure out how to get back on serious topics all over again.
