People can be lovers and still be friends. It doesn't happen every day, but when it does, there's nothing better (except for all this, and a hot fudge sundae too, (especially eaten by a wonderful view, or across the table from one) :-)). > I have heard this from female friends of mine who I have had an interest > in being 'more than friends' with. Sigh. If one thinks it's impossible, it is--for that person. But what an attitude! Defeated before you begin. It may be hard to believe when counterexample after counterexample comes your way, but it really can (and does) happen. Of course, it helps that I'm in the middle of reading Buscaglia's new book with my fiancee... -- Dave Bartley UUCP: {decvax,ihnp4}!uw-beaver!
