| It's worth reflecting on whether you're not attracted to this girl or whether you're not attracted to being in an intimate relationship. All your previous sexual encounters sound to me (and I may be wrong) as fleeting and lacking emotional intimacy. Some people seem to have problems having a physic... |

| I think the most NT form of music is hard-core classic American rock of the sort Lee Atwater played (look it up). I actually like disco. I always preferred it to most rock. Never went to a disco, though. But you certainly don't have to be NT to dress up. Hard Rock, Glam Metal, same thing. Anyway, i... |

| I agree with a couple other posters that you shouldn't end this prematurely. There'd be no going back from that decision. In my experience this is a highly unusual situation, by which I mean that most intimate relationships seem to begin fairly soon after the two people involved meet. I have never b... |

I feel that very little of this applies only to females.
Very accurate although I'm not up to assigning a numeric value. |

| Here's a practical demonstration to support my original premise that regional accents are disappearing in N. America -- note I said disappearing, not extinct! If you live in the US, there is a game show on TV called "Family Feud" and it is filmed in Atlanta, Georgia. Family groups compete against ea... |

On what "Platform" is WP built? Doesn't seem to be PHP.
I am aware there are some "off the shelf" forum applications but if WP is using such, I don't see any overt indication.
As a Java Programmer, I am rightfully curious! |
