Wow. You actually come across as being a bit older than you actually are (especially knowing how "nice friend" doesn't "get" the girl ). I thought you were in your early to mid twenties.

Thanks for the encouragement. Yeah, I'm sort of a laughing stock of the family and moreover my little sis is almost a HS grad herself.

One thing that has worked out: honesty and where you draw the line.

Admittedly how you project yourself in the eyes of other potentially important people could make all the difference in the world--where there's no middle ground it's advantage OR disadvantage. Sometimes, though this comes at a great cost. Above all this at least be true to yourself and get off the ride before you lose your soul, though.

Me too, g'nite.
