Samuel Butler
"It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
and Socrates
"The hottest love has the coldest end."
To sum up... Women are mysterious creatures and how they operate as men we will never truly understand.
Fate does indeed work in mysterious ways and you could meet the woman of your dreams tomorrow. I did. I thought I was madly in love with a girlfriend a few years back... She fucked me off... I've found my special someone now though and I wouldn't change the heart ache I went through to get to where I am today
Chin up cocker!
