Just because nobody has met up with you does not mean than people don't meet. They do. But not all feel the need to tell the world their private business.
Johnny, you can do damage to your heart, liver and other organs by drinking, not just drink-driving.
My point is, that our lives cannot be policed like that.
I personally may not choose to climb Everest or go to Antarctica, but I would never say that other people shouldn't. It is their life to live. Humans have explored and done potentially dangerous things since existence. It is part of the human psyche.
Whether people choose live a safe life but will inevitably still die, or choose to live a more exciting life, and still inevitably die, is totally up to themselves.
So if you go out for a few drinks, thus putting your health at risk, you should be locked up to save yourself?
Or crossing the street? You could be hit by a car.
Johnny, people put their lives at risk all the time. I agree that some do more than others. If they didn't, you wouldn't be living in the US. Explorers would have been locked up.
I am glad I was not one of the recipients. The pressure to follow those instructions would be massive. Too much for me. It would have been even worse if you had written Prosperous New Year. I'd be forced to rob a bank then.
Yes, you should stay away from R. She has made it clear she is not interested. The only way you will get over her is to make a complete break. Stop contacting her. Ask her to stop contacting you as well. In other words, move on. Unrequited love is not good and has to be got over.
Try to make some male friends instead of all these female 'friends'. With male friends, especially single ones, you can go out and start chatting up real-life women who may actually want to be with you, as a girlfriend.
If people lived in a tiny country with a small population, then I could see why a person would have to look to bring a new person in. But in a big country with a huge population, there must surely be one person there that would fit the bill.
It's not about monogamy. It's about the fact that lots of people who shouldn't get married, do.
We all have friends /acquaintances that we know aren't suited. Yet they go get married and subsequently break up.
You can't stop the wrong people getting together. It is their choice to make. But avoiding relationships because of the statistics they cause, is not a path I would follow.
To me that just sounds like a normal regular relationship
Sorry Johnny, I'm not trying to be obtuse here. But the types of relationships you often talk about are just not ones that I even understand.
Being in a relationship should mean that both benefit from it, and are happy. If not, then there is no point in being in one. Once a relationship isn't working, or is one-sided in any way, then it stops. End of.
The best way to deal with that is to go see what he is barking at (he has to see you doing it) and then reassure him that it is ok.
Now, my older dog who was very nervous, immediately looks at me when there is a strange noise or person at the door, whereas before she'd have reacted. I taught her by checking and reassuring.
I watched a documentary on moss piglets before. They survive by cryptobiosis. I saw another little dude doing it on the new David Attenborough Seven World series. Basically he froze everything from the outside in, except what was vital to keep him alive. I could see how it could work on humans, although the Wesley Snipes character in Demolition Man comes to mind

RE: Meeting someone from abroad
How about you suggest that you visit her in China for three months instead, and see what her reaction is?
