Memnoch, that canadian friend sounds very special. Superb view of life, well beyond her years. Love both her poem and Armisaels. Melusine is partly right in that other people telling you to get over it won't work, but at least knowing others care and have shared a similar experience is some comfort. I wouldn't worry too much Wah, as most people change a lot in their late teens early 20's and people you like now will seem very different in a few years. A lot of relationships break up at this age because people drift apart as their needs and tastes change. Memnoch's friend is so right that you should use each friendship as a lesson in discovering what you want in a partner, so that when you finally commit, the relationship is more likely to survive. I married lateish, 32, because I wasn't sure what I wanted. I have met many wonderful people, some of whom I may have married under different circumstances. However, I love my wife dearly and I know she is special ie one of the few who could put up with me! You tend to meet the most important people by chance, so make yourself go out with your friends and enjoy yourself. Who knows, you might that certain someone tomorrow.
