[QUOTE=Cyn]  
I met **Glee** this summer at the Las Vegas Dopefest and I didn’t realize he was single. **Glee** is flat adorable and had I not been married at the time, would have willingly listened to his voice all night…  
Your perception of yourself as shy or awkward isn’t always accurate.

Another curse of the unwillingly single guy is the person who says what a fantastic catch you’d make, while simultaneously disqualifying herself from being the catcher then or ever. Happily I’m now on the side of the fence where I can be the one saying the comforting things instead of having them said to me.

Not to snark on **Cyn** for calling them as she sees them, obviously.
