		<description>brilliant stuff.... 

the trick that works for me is to think what the poor sod missed by missing out on me and then mentally showing him the finger in my head (basically summoning up all the defence mechanisms you can ever find). 

yeah... still there is a chance that might not work... 

some people are like that. Damn.</description>

		<description>Distance is such a double edged sword isnt it? When its there, it hurts like hell. When its gone it reopens old wounds. Maybe time follows the same principle. and the entire theory of time being a healer just sucks....</description>

		<description>hmmmm... is this how it goes? I guess it must be, because so many people identify with what you&#039;ve written.

I on the other hand am great friends with everyone I&#039;ve ever gone out with, so the only thing I would do is go over &amp; give/get a great bid hug. Friendship simplifies things somehow. Just my op though.</description>

		<description>Well my options would have been:
1) eat
2) eat
3) eat
4) eat
sparing a &quot;dekho&quot; (or even a thot) for some weirdo (read loser and more) during my meals??? not worth it.
My (unsolicited) advice wud be, get going, njoi yur meal (n maybe some tiramisu to top it all). Burp!!</description>

		<description>*shudder* *shiver*
WHO are you? Are you me? Do you live in my mind or did you once take a grand tour of my mind? You&#039;re the ONLY blogger who&#039;s been far too close, far too many times. No wonder then, I HAD to comment. Its not just &quot;Encounter&quot; or &quot;Love Actually&quot;, you know. All of your posts. Think I shud pay you to write my blog too - you&#039;d do an infinitely better job of it, provided you didn&#039;t SCARE me away first :P

Me...I was dying silly to go over and talk. But luckily there wasn&#039;t any cheese fondue (read temptation) in sight /)

p.s. he was chubby too... *wail* Why do I think we might be alter egos or doppelgangers or whatchamacallits

Defense mechanisms depend on distance, I feel.</description>
