Joe,

It's kinda funny, a friend of mine once said to me (over five years ago),
when I was complaining about my lack of dates (actually, it may have been
well over five years ago - I don't remember if I even knew about the PD
then), that it'll happen when you're not looking.  I told him, I've been
actively "not" looking for a while!  Guess I better really start "not"
looking, if I ever hope to have something happen.  Actually, sometimes it
bothers me (e.g., when I see some romantic movie or whatever), but alot of
the time, I really don't think about it.  My life is pretty full, with
things I've got going on now, as well as future plans.  Hopefully I'll find
somebody who deserves me (even with my PD, I still believe I'm a good
"catch" in that there are alot of people, who's lives would on the surface
seem better than mine, who actually are miserable and have alot more
problems than I do).  My dad has always said that 90% of people are merely
surviving, and maybe 10% are really living.  I believe (most of the time)
that I'm really living and I'd like to find a guy who is too.  If that's
only 10% of the male population, well, that does narrow it down a bit, with
or without my pd for them to contend with.

Don't give up!  Everyone is most attractive to others, when they feel good
about themselves, and are doing things that they enjoy or that they feel
passionate about.  Find what REALLY makes you happy, and people will be
attracted to you.  Actually, some people resent it when others are happy or
confident, and seem to try to suck their energy from them.  You definitely
want to avoid those types.  You'll know them tho'.


Wendy

Oh, I've got another poem I wrote a while back.  I'll email it later after I
get it from home.  It's based on a friend of a friend (who was pretty wacky
and strange actually), who spent all of her time, no matter where we went,
looking to meet a man.  She had no interests of her own, and made her
intentions so obvious, that she scared them all away.  Subtlety is always
good.


TWENTY EIGHT

I once knew of a girl
Who, upon turning twenty-eight,
Ceaselessly told all within earshot
Of her great need for a mate

The importance of this subject,
Which none dared to debate,
Was of such magnitude
That I could not begin to relate

I myself had forgotten
When I'd last had a date
