*Shrugs* I suppose you just hope you stop feeling that way at some point...or that someone else comes along.

I wouldn't know, I'm indifferent 3/4 of the time.:cool:

I was indifferent most of the time back in my college days. Now I stick to one person for as long as I can. I'm rarely in anyone different now

I lost a lot of my will to be funny when you dumped me and destroyed any chance I had of being happy again.
