Yes, post #60 appears to have been made after the imbibing of several containers of alcohol… ---

One line of advice: enjoy the process. Don’t make dating a means to an end. ---

> [@John\_DiFool](#): > > Yes, post #60 appears to have been made after the imbibing of several containers of alcohol… I’ve been around here for fifteen f’ing years. I don’t post too much, but you’d be hard pressed to find a long-termer who would say that I’m a liar or exaggerator or a drunk. OK, maybe the last one, but not the first two. ---

> [@](#): > > Isn’t that usually the point of dating?.. a means to an end. It is for some people, but that makes dating _itself_ into a chore. It should be its own reward. Consider it like going dancing. To some people, it’s a means to an end: they go dancing to meet potential dates. Other people enjoy dancing for its own sake, and that’s as it should be (IMHO). ---

How would the person he hasn’t talked to in a decade have even heard of it? I’m kind of dying to know what happened. ---

His post could have come direct from one of those needy Facebook status’ though, you know the type… “omg I can’t believe this has happened” “U ok hun?” “Aww you wee angle stay strong luv” “So what actually happened?” “I can’t say…” Even if he doesn’t know what he is supposed to have specifically done a little bit of context would have gone a long way. ---
