Oh, that makes perfect sense, Seltzer. I like that interpretation. Thank you.

Yeay! That sounRAB promising, and nice XTC song!!
I'd say the reality is that you *don't* need a partner...I remeraber getting used to that idea, too. And it isn't a bad thing. I feel that ideally one learns to by happy by oneself. Then anything extra...like the girl who has you all stirred up in your class saying yes and you both having a surprisingly lovely time together...is an unexpected and happy bonus!
That's very brave, to ask someone out, by the way.
Thinking about "Let Love In," the song you posted earlier, I wondered if you've heard Siddharta's "Ring" song? You can see from the video that it has the same theme of a relationship ending horribly with the woman essentially destroying the man. Maybe this song fits your past even better than "Let Love In," Seltzer!
