[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] Unrequited true love? Maybe. Sorry to hear that, Siggy. But stranger things have happened. It was just one potential scenario that you should set no store in actually happening, it was just meant as an illustration. To use another quoite from a certain series of films, there are always possibilities. Try to open yourselves to new ones. To be blunt, you are extremely unlikely to meet someone online. I know of exactly one couple who did and eventually got married. For instance, I didn't originally go to that works do where I met Kate. Fact is, everyone I knew who was going left without me (they thought I had to stay behind to re-boot a server, but that was re-scheduled without their knowing), so I got narked about it and went home in a huff. One takeaway and an episode of [i]Buffy the Vampire Slayer[/i] later, I decided I didn't want to stay in by myself so quickly texted them to see if they were all still there, belted back a coupla drams of single malt (to catch up with my friends, they were doing some serious drinking) and I was off. It's really helpful when your flat is only 20 minutes total journey time from work. But that's totally unlike me. I'm a stubborn git, once I decide to do something I stick with it. If I decided to go home, I went and no-one would tell me otherwise. I knew logically and empirically that by the time I got there half of them would have left and the rest would be so pissed they'd be impossible to interact with. I'd be back off home in an hour, so the whole thing was a complete waste of time. Instead I ended up pretending to be a guy named Pete who worked for a different company because Kate didn't remember me at all and started talking to me. Yup, I got chatted up by someone who'd once got me into a lot of trouble but now didn't recognise me! So the moral is, Don't Be Yourselves. Which is actually wrong, you should be yourselves, but maybe change who you are. Oh, I don't know, I'm trying to give you all the benefit of whatever experience I have! I don't claim to have the answers. You can all just go back to ignoring me if you like. . . [/QB][/QUOTE]
