MsApprehension Well done you! I have never had the guts to go to one of those. Very impressed. Let's hope you get more than just a confidence boost out of it.
Geeks can be as much of an ass as any other men, the common denominator here is the 'man' bit. (Apologies to Bant and DFU). Not saying all men are bad, just that there are many common denominators on reasoning skills. Still I tend to go for the geek, prefer the intellectual challenge to the footie challenge. But that could just be me.
The dreaded bloody 'spark'. It's a lie in my opinion. You can feel it, and he doesn't, he does and you don't like trying for a simultaneous orgasm . The best explanation (for me at any rate), is that we all have unmet needs from our parents (however small or gigantic) and when we meet someone who has similar characteristics our subconscious picks up on this, and tries to get that need met. But like our parents inability to meet that need, the 'target' is also unable (due to shared characteristics). IME I tried so hard to avoid marrying my dad that I ended up marrying a clone of my mother, even worse. Too much psychology for this time of the morning?
Wave to all thread readers, lurking and non-lurking. Next week will be so boring, am back at work, and won't have time to keep up unless I loose sleep, which I fear due to my new MN addiction might just happen.
