Using the Prada/Primark analogy above
I'm not settling for less than All Saints*. This is why I'll be single forever


*In the sense of slightly quirky and just right for me, not necessarily in terms of looks

Have I shown you the item of clothing that costs more than my degree and maintenance loans for the whole thing?

probably not
but as berk points out above, why settle for a meh relationship
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 31 Jan 2011, 23:37, Reply)

I would settle for one.
My most successful one was mostly meh. It was comfortable and what I needed. Strong feelings just end in disaster.

It doesn't make sense to me
either have a bit of a fun thing or be with someone you can see making it work with. Don't just settle for someone because there's nobody else around at the minute. And Amberl, you would and can get plenty of interest, if only you had a bit more confidence.
