    True, you never know! Nah, he knows anyways!
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    Maybe girls never admit it, Dori. Not even when the guy's dead!

    Anyway, it's a sort of right she has, as a woman. To live platonicly ... With men it DOESN'T work out, definitely!

    Girls also don't want to admit the fact that men like to kiss way more often than they do. I don't know why that's hard, but just admit it, it's okay, we understand that you're less romantic than we are.

    Forgive me, because I cannot recall the correct source, but I remember reading of a sociological study that looked at the lifespans of married men and women, in comparison to forever single men and women. On average, unmarried men lived longer than married men; additionally, unmarried women lived shorter than married women. Weird, eh? Perhaps, as you say, 'men who live platonically are unhappy,' but that unhappiness lasts longer than marriage!

    You lot have no idea what you are talking about!
    Another statitics said that in marraiges where the couple are in their later years, if the wife dies before the husband, the husband is more likely to die a few years later than if it was the other way around if the wife survived the husband living for up to 20 years more.
    Why is this you wonder?
    Well its because men growing up had their mammys to look after them, then they had their wives, so when their wives died, and there was no one around to molly coddle them they went "Oh what am i going to do! I know, i think i'll die."
    "Come away O human child!To the waters of the wild, With a faery hand in hand, For the worlds more full of weeping than you can understand."

    Erm well you can't just say that it doesn't work for any... I have friends who are monks and they are quite happy, very good people. Living as a celebate doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. Actually celebacy can be a very good thing. There's no reason to put limits on things - just because we may have habits doesn't mean we should reinforce them with reinforcing our thinking that they are impossible to break.

    maybe it can be avoided by having pets and a good will to live ?

    I'm always thinking about doing some gossip magazine/update for this thread, a kind of summary but what the hell am I going to summarise if nobody reveals anything? 'Lit netters discuss whether to reveal crush or not' That's too much excitement! Gahhhh.....BYe for now, till next issue..........

    Thanks Dor. Girls should be the ones to confess who they have a crush on. We have it tough enough with our applepie dreams about love and kissing on some crowded street corner.

    I beg to differ.
