What it really boils down to is this:

I don't know you, but I'd still hate to see you get hurt.

Thank you.

One of the things I love about my husband that I know he will Do The Right Thing, even if it's not to his immediate advantage. It really is a very attractive quality.

Well Mr Dreadful can breathe a sigh of relief. It was just waffles, and as she´s now going to Russia for a month I don´t think anything more will happen.

I reckon the new smiley will get a lot of use in this thread - either with Xan despairing or us despairing on his behalf.

There´s a distinct lack of mistletoe in town.

I haven't seen any here!

(Somebody had to do it!)

I´m just talking to BoliviaGirl. According to her, both her sisters are single.

There you are.

for you as well.

Did I ever mention I once had a really nice girlfriend, who I was stupid enough to break up with? Why do I do such idiotic things?

Because you're human.

Because I have a conscience. I need to have it removed.

Nope. It's better to have to wait and get the right women than it is to abandon your principles and get the wrong ones quickly.

Yes, I am pluralising on purpose.

I've waited long enough.

Leaving your conscience behind is never a good starting point for anything.

Wouldn't work anyway, not while you've got this air of desperation...

How am I meant not to be desperate? Besides, according to people in real life, I don't come across as desperate. I would likely also have less of those "oh, I thought you just wanted to be friends" kind of dates if I did.
