at some point in your life, you may come across a person (opposite or same sex depending on preference, it makes no difference to me what you like) who really does it for you. they're funny, attractive in just the right way, nice, you can stand spending mass amounts of time with them...

but someone else got there before you, and your object of liking is taken.

do not under any circumstances let this person know you like them. because if you do, the chances that things will get weird is very great. such as having an odd relationship in which said taken person seems to really enjoy watching you sit around in your bra via webcam. (i'm going to take the fifth on whether or not this is recent personal experience.)

in which case you become confused and extremely sexually frustrated from all the flirty talk and end up being really good buddies with some sort of vibrating object. i'm not quite to that stage yet, but i've got the extremly horny and lonely thing down pat.
