A Choice of Words

Last night I wrote that her going out with Andrew would be an act of infidelity, if not betrayal. My original wording was opposite of this, that it would be an act of betrayal, if not infidelity.

I should have stuck with the original wording, as the dictionary definition of infidelity is sexual, as opposed to emotional.

On another note, since the dictionary does have such strong connotations for the argument and words used.... Would going out with Andrew be a date?

Date:

6.	an appointment for a particular time: They have a date with their accountant at ten o'clock.

7.	a social appointment, engagement, or occasion arranged beforehand with another person: to go out on a date on Saturday night.

8.	a person with whom one has such a social appointment or engagement: Can I bring a date to the party?

from dictionary.com, or from websters...

4 a: an appointment to meet at a specified time ; especially : a social engagement between two persons that often has a romantic character b: a person with whom one has a usually romantic date

Yes, the especially notes that it can be between two with a romantic 'character'.

So the dictionary has a similar definition to my own for what a date is. Suppose now I know where I get it.

She also commented on taking the necklace off, and said that she would put it back on, over msn. I figured the issue dropped at that point, and moved on to other things (such as something frustrating in WoW that was kind of bothering me).... She apparently took my lack of enthusiastic response to mean it didn't matter and that she should just leave it off.

Too many catch 22s in a relationship in this day and age, too many to deal with in 10 minutes before work.

Peace out,
