Luchs) Craig- Let me add to the list of people to avoid having relationships with: friends of your siblings friends of friends siblings of your friends friends of the family anyone going to the same church/synagogue/parties/social activities/etc. I understand why you say "look before you leap", but aren't you narrowing down the field rather drastically? What's left? Where are you going to meet anyone if you rule out dating people from school and work? I say take a chance, even if it fails 19 times out of 20, it is WORTH the risk (and PAIN). The situations you are describing will not last forever, anyway. You will (probably) not always work at the same place, live in the same place, be going to the same classes, etc. for the rest of your life. How do you manage to meet people? I think most people would agree that it is hard enough to meet people without making the exceptions that you do! I don't mean to make this seem like flame-throwing. I DO understand how hard it is to have to see someone everyday after a break up. Try breaking up with someone you are living with (and still have 6 months left on your lease with) and THEN we can compare notes! -Sarah
