And I apologize if I implied that.  I didn't, as I don't know you beyond your posts and your av.  (Ocn slapped me around on that one, as you can see). 

One side comment:  your list is detailed and a little rigid and, whether hetero or homo, the setting up of tightly defined boundaries makes it damn near impossible to end up with anyone.  We all need to ask ourselves:  Are we perfect?

I'm going to drop it since I'm not getting it.  It's amazing where Ocn's posts end up.  Ocn, you damn instigator!

LOL, I don't think it'd be hard to find someone who I'm attracted to and who's intelligent and fun to be around.

The afforementioned qualities are not absolutes... the only absolute requirements in a guy I date are: honesty, monogamy, and intelligence. All else is I can work around

That "father" wouldn't be worth a $h!.  Nos, when you tell him, do you want me to be there to punch his ass out?  I'll bring Viper, he can kick him in the shins a few times.  Then maybe he'll settle down and give you a hug and things will get back to normal.

Even in a serious and deep thread like this Ocnblu cracks me up.

So, 'blu, whatcha gonna do?

When they come for me?

I have no clue. I don't think I'll tell her right yet. It hasn't been my style so far. Yes, it weighs on me from time to time, but my feelings of guilt where she's concerned have subsided for now.

As far as my friend at work goes, he came up to the shared office area this afternoon before he went home and said "Tomorrow is Valentine's Day" and looked at me, then he looked at our office manager (they have a sort of mother/son relationship.)

Last week he found a silly little plush stuffed bug on his toolbox. I saw it and asked him where he got it. He said he didn't know who left it there. Then he asked me if I knew anything about it. I truthfully told him no. So I don't know what that's about.
