Nope, still not taken. I'm going to give it a few more hours and if he doesn't cave, I'm giving up and going back under my rock. :frown: I'm never going to find anyone. :cry:

:!) It's my lucky day! :!)

I hope it works out for you too! Hopefully you two will be smooching your next big love. :biggrin:

The logical approach here would be if they just cut out the middleman and turned lesbian. (Don't forget to take pictures for me.)

Don't give up!

I'll pop on down the road, track him down, stick him in a box, and Fed-Ex him for Thanksgiving. Halloween just too close to enusre delivery. I'll make sure he has the Teddy Ruxpin, too! Besides I don't want you sitting at home eating tuna fish again on Thanksgiving. Should I include Cranberry Sauce and Pumpkin Pie?

I don't know - maybe the signature is a bit intimidating.

Don't you give up either, rhuthwaite. There's plenty of time.

If you really liked guys, you would be a lesbian! (at least once, and preferably with them)
