Haha very funny

The taken ones put me off, when I know they are taken, and not before. How do I usually know, without ESP? They're with a girl at that moment who presents herself as their girlfriend, they tell me they are, they have a ring that indicates they are married. But what I meant was, how do I know, just by looking at them? Right now I don't.

I can't tell. If you put one guy in front of me who is taken and another who is not, then I don't think I can tell just from their face. Can you?

JustJess, what do you mean about smelling the desperation? I don't see why all single men have to "smell" desperate. And why should they be desperate anyway? I don't like to hear that word associated with being single at all.

I'm single and while I'd love to meet someone new, I'm quite happy on my own. Also, I don't think I will ever feel desperate about being single, because in my mind, I only want to be with someone if it feels right, and if it doesn't happen, I guess I'm better off that way than with someone just so I won't be "alone".

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
