If your are going to live a life full of experience, it is inevitable that you will approach already connected people -- after all, if they are alive and do something other than fixate on a CRT, they will be in contact with other people, often intimately. As the song goes: "Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood. I would much rather find out sooner than later that the person that I am talking to is currently unavailable (there are, of course, degrees of unavailablenss). If my immediate, pressing goal is to meet somebody to share in the pleasures of the flesh (a CRT only offers so much solace), I would prefer to allocate my resources. Naturally, this does NOT mean that the unavailable person is in anyway not a worthwhile human being - just that if I am in lust, I am in lust.. It all depends on context, sometimes what you want most is a non-sexual context relationship. When this happens, it is again nice to straighten out your roles reasonably quickly. ...Larry Mazlack . ...Larry Mazlack
