It’s not that bad, I swear, but a guy’s gotta let off some steam now and then, right? Of course, those long, mopey periods of repeated blows to my self-confidence are punctuated by enough lucidity to realize that even when I catch someone’s eye, I’m often on the other side of the equation feeling a lack of true zing!, so I can’t even complain about the total unfairness of it all. Nevertheless, it’s been a while since there has been any real promise of anything, any glimmer of substantial mutual interest of any kind, and the dwindling prospects have been wearing me down lately.
I try to remind myself, though, that those romance comics always ended on an up note, so we’ll see. As ever.
