Under the "wish I knew then what I know now" heading, I found out last week that the cute blonde from my degree couse was just waiting for me to ask her out when I became single, but I never dared make a move because she was totally out of my league.
Turns out that she was attracted by my brains and humour - damn you popular stereotypes! I figured that all the good looking sporty boys were what she wanted because they all hung out round her; never stopped to consider that none of them ever dated her and she sought out my company.
So - you like a girl? Tell her. You like a guy? Tell him.
Don't wait 20 years to find they were waiting for you to ask.
(note to readers: I'd like to point out that my life's journey resulted in me being very happy now with my wife, and that had I asked out the blonde 20 years ago I may well have had a miserable time, and certainly wouldn't have ended up where I am now, it's the time traveller butterfly effect in action, but from the perspective of 20 years ago, the blonde was better than the cheating nutter I went back to)
