cautiously optimistic

well, it's almost 7:30, and I seem to have survived a Valentine's Day free from any surprises from Mr. "I-can-go-for-a-month-without-calling-while-we're-actually-dating-but-I'm-gonna-send-you Christmas-presents-and-flowers-on-random-Valentine's-Days-for-the-next-13-years"

Sigh. Boys make my head hurt.

Well, isn't part of the difference between "Boys" and "Men" a difference in the qualities or traits between the two? I'd expect "Men" to possess such qualties as maturity, stability, dedication, commitment, and consideration. Qualities typically lacking in "Boys" -- if only because the young ones have yet to have it beaten into them by the women.

I also happen to know He-of-whom-Wendy-speaks. Intelligent, funny, sometimes very intently focused -- sometimes easily distracted and amused, and very, very, quirky.

*wow* I guess that PhD got you sumthin after all....

and I agree with Capi. You make it sound like they're just sort of lying about ready to be picked up and lightly dusted off. Not so's I've noticed.

True, they're not just lying around everywhere, but they are out there. Just as men will moan "where are all the good women" so will the women cry "where are all the good men." Well, news flash to both genders -- they're out there (good men or good women), we have just been overlooking them.

'Course, not like this has helped me any. My problem is usually poor timing. Either that or long-distance.

Hasn't helped me either. My problem is usually poor. Just POOR.

In the spirit of :Friends should tell you the truth:

Yes, John. Your problem is "poor". Poor attitued. And hygiene.

You're a very good musician and a decent guy, but I'd never date you.

Amazing what not having to worry about money all the time can do for one's "attitued".

As to the second part, that's the nicest thing you've said about me in years.
