  Ok...as one who drops hints like lead balloons...
only to find the recipients, like, TOTALLY obtuse.  In reality, who
really wants to hear 'NO' flat out, for no apparent reason?
  Actually my problem is being fascinated during the first 3 minutes of
conversation and in the last hour wishing I could at least be 
cutting my TOENAILS in silence!
  It's not that I don't enjoy meeting new people, but what's with it with
this 'flash in the pan' romance stuff?  or should I say, in the bed!! The
kiss-ass cats repulse me as well... Glen Reid has the right idea (chivalry
is not dead), but most level-headed females would rather forego the 6000
calories in a mac-o-meal (woof!).  Just spending time laughing with
someone, put-offs and fake-outs aside, is infinitely more apt to lead
to a "future".  If someone can't accept us (me? you?) as we are, it is
his/her loss.  Others can (there has to be at least one other schizoid
for all of us).  
  Hint dropping is not easy when you know a given person is asking
you for more than you can truthfully give.  More often than not, I have
grown to appreciate people who are my friends (grown closer to, in fact)
than people I have 'dated'.  That grey area inbetween is the touchy spot
with most of us (I have been classified as friend also)... but friends are
forever!  lovers....well??? 
                        you're never alone with schizophrenia,
