I go for 0.2 on the women side...
His mum must have breastfed him until his teens..
On the men side...


A number whose square is less than or equal to zero is an imaginary number.

FYI, 1.49 has 3 digits.

On a side note, I will give major props to the Sun King for at least having the balls to say something. I personally have severe approach anxiety despite having a lot of positive things going for me.

I hate getting this and can't seem to get over it despite having experience that proves the fear was invalid.

Broke up with my gf of 6 months a month ago. It felt bad at first, but I sucked it up thinking I did the right thing.

I recently (i.e. a couple of days) sometimes catch myself thinking back at the times, feeling awful, and wondering if the breakup was worth in. This is when my rational ego gets in and reminds me of how she behaved with me. Still, I can't make this annoying and excruciating sorrow to go away. I'm afraid I still feel something for her (she certainly does) -- or is it the good memories? ****.

It's ok to still feel something for her.

I still feel something for girls I've broken up with 5+ years ago.

Just try to ignore it.

"how she behaved with me" is the key to guiding you. You can't abide bad behavior or, worse, reward it. In my experience the only thing that works is to break it off, then go about your life, NOT making any conciliatory overtures. If she seeks your forgiveness, you may have the possibility of starting over, perhaps on better terms, but it is unfortunately true that the surest predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

Six months seems to be about the longest most of the seriously flawed can manage to act decently. The arrival of that milestone often triggers a panicked reaction and the need to misbehave in order to bail.

But that can take so long, it can take years. Some things you never really get over.


Yeah, of course. I think that’s what the song is about: it seems like everybody’s looking for this idea of closure these days. I don’t really believe in closure. Once you’ve had your heart broken, you just have to keep on carrying it. It doesn’t mean you’re going to be bitter and sad all your life, but you won’t really get over it and forget about it. You just move on."
