2003-07-09 - 2:27 p.m. Disclosure. What a meaty topic. Just because you warn someone doesn't mean that you're not partly responsible if something happens. Prime example: the IM conversation with the guy whose screenname says more about his car than himself. He makes sure to say that he's not interested in anything serious (or at least says that he never said he was interested in anything serious - which amounts to the same thing). But if he's all charming and says and does all the right things and some girl falls for him anyway, does that make him not responsible when her heart gets broken - because he warned her? No, of course not. No, I'm not about to fall for *that* guy. Believe me. And enough of you whose opinions I value have tactfully conveyed your thoughts and feelings about him that I get the picture. Really. And it's nothing that I didn't know already. He was a bit of fun for a few hours - but nothing more. And that's easy enough to find if that's what I was looking for (and I'll admit it, sometimes I am). Now, do I think I can find what I'm really looking for (and goodness knows I've talked about it here enough lately - I was re-reading the past month or so and I sound like a damn broken record!)? Maybe. If I can take a few deep breaths and calm myself down a bit, back up and let it come to me then maybe. And if not, I actually like my life as it is.
