Look how quickly Romeo forgot about Roslyn when he met Juliet. Guy was all head-over-heels at the beginning of the play and at the end he couldn't even remember the broad's name.

Yea, and things turned out great for everyone in the end of that play.

But at least he learned something.

Hmm? I can think of -
1) I can kill someone in a sword fight, cool
2) Poison tastes bad
3) What the deuce, Juliet isn't really dead - croak

Any guy who is freely willing to subject himself to more than 5 minutes in the presence of a chick he met at a protest march (let me guess, militant feminist?) should check into the nut house immediately. Putting your nuts in a vise would be less painful.

We almost went on holiday last Autumn, I just remembered. We were talking on IM, she said she wanted to go somewhere but had no-one to go with, I quickly said "I'll go with you!" and we were talking about where to go - I have friends in half a dozen European cities, and was planning a great time, till I realised my passport was expired and since it was to be a last-minute trip I couldn't go. I was gutted, obviously, but rather impressed that she was willing to go some place with me.

Why didn't you just go on holiday within England then?

So I'm leaving work, having spent the whole day posting about her. I go to the elevator lobby and there's one other person waiting there, a woman. I realise it's HER GODDAMN SISTER. I only found out yesterday she works at this firm in the same department as me. I am just a temp, she's a lawyer. We got in a lift, it was broken, she made some comment about that, I made some comment back and played with my phone so she wouldn't pay me attention.

I have met her a couple of times at parties, and had long chats with her, but she didn't recognise me - hey it was two or three years ago, she wouldn't have been expecting to see me in her workplace, and 50lbs makes a difference too. I was so, so nervous as we stood waiting for a lift - I wanted to run away. I didn't want her to recognise me and have a "how's your sister?" conversation. When I last saw her sister, the object of my infatuation, I told her what company I was at and she said nothing about her sister being there.

Was it weirder not to talk to her? Or should I have said "Hey, remember me?" and then worried it would get back to the girl I like that not only did I - coincidentally - move to her area - I also got a job at her sister's firm?

[nature\\\'s_hated]

Didn't think of that, but she'll have wanted to go abroad, neither of us drive, and I think I couldn't get
time off work anyway. Still if she doesn't like me, nothing would have happened on holiday anyway.

Haha yes, as a student she went on all the anti-capitalist anti-war type marches, was Women's Officer at university, protested against tuition fees, etc. But a few years working in a hospital accident and emergency ward soon turned her into a conversative, as it always does.

Yes, every word you speak is truth.

How about you introduce me to your avatar girl? I could happily 'move on' to her!

Your putting the pussy on a pedastal. You gotta stop doing that.

This is the truth. Girls don't want to date a wimp, no matter what your mother told you, they want to date brash, boorish, tough guys who make them work to get attention. You have basically been a pussy throughout this relationship and you're totally fooling yourself that this chick can have any interest in you whatsoever. You need to come to reality - you screwed it up, it's over, move on. Learn from the mistakes and next time you meet a decent chick remember bob_halford's advice from earlier; try and close the deal early so you know where you stand.

Now, at the moment, you're still in love, so you think that's going to be impossible. You can't imagine caring about anyone like you care for her. I can understand that. I promise you, though, if you get out there and start looking you'll find someone and forget about her in no time flat.

How about the older sister, eh? Is she single/ does she look about the same (or close enough that your fertile imagination can fill in the differences)? Because you could, you know, not f---up completely if you try to hit the sis.

Trip report if you make a pass!

dear OOT

If I ever get to this point, and its a real possibility, please take up collection and have me killed.

thank you

Nah, her sister is older, square, recently married, and a lot less pretty. The girl I like, by comparison, has an awesome sense of humour, goes to clubs, parties, galleries etc, and also has the petite short-haired funky look that I really love.
