Tips on a Profile

[Arthur Little]

Y'know this subject puts me in mind of the occasion when I was dating a *schoolteacher (yes ... *ANOTHER one! ) for a short spell during my 17 years of widowhood. Things appeared to be ticking along nicely ... until one evening over dinner, when she suddenly glanced furtively across the table and ... with an embarrassed look on her face - which simultaneously assumed a redd(ish) hue - announced in a barely audible whisper: "I really love going out with you, Arthur ... but would ... um ... ... like us to have a platonic relationship!"

Now, it's not as if either of us had ever [previously] broached the subject of ... (well ... ... you don't, do you?) but I seem to remember thinking: ... ... "what's the point in that? ... ... hell, I might as well be spending my evenings down the pub with my same sex friends!!!

Know the feeling Arth. It's just a nicer way of saying F off.

Worse scenario though is getting ignored completely.
