I'm here, Paul. The irony is you really didn't need me. How smart you are to realize that you identify with the same issue. Of one thing I am pretty certain, when we react strongly to something, it is typically because it brings up for us similar feelings we have experienced in the past. So in essence, we are able to empathize with others as a result of our own experiences. Your ability to empathize gives you a warm and sensitive appeal. Now go use this characteristic (along with your many others, e.g., wit, cuteness) in the service of meeting women, be it through friends, by attending events or through abduction. (I want to be invited to your wedding.) Faith
P.S. Don't rely on Charlie Sheen (actually for anything), write your own happy ending.
