Okay, that is a total lie. I am looking. We just got a new crop of interns at work and, since I don't work with any of them, the nepotism policy does not apply and I am free to have intimate relationships with them (as long as I do not create a hostile work environment).
But the reality is that I'm going to cut back on pursuing my main interest and concentrate on someone else, someone who is slightly less available, but who is more down to earth. But, to be honest, I'm going to circle back and concentrate on me. I like myself for the first time in my life. Lose weight, get in shape, pick up some foreign languages -- you know, the usual. The reason is that I do not feel that I have a lot to offer at the moment. Yes, I can offer love, loyalty, companionship, but I'm not just that exciting or interesting. So I am going to fix that.
Has anyone actually succeeded at doing so?
