ITT: No false encouragement (20)

My fellow Secret Admirers, we come in all types. Some of you are happily involved in a relationship with someone you treasure. This thread is not for you.

Some of you bounce from relationship to relationship, continually experiencing the pain of separation, but always finding someone to whom you can turn. This thread is not for you.

Some of you may never have been in a relationship, but remain confident that if you keep your chin up, good things will come your way. This thread is not for you.

And some of you like to console people like me. This thread is definately not for you. Please move along. We'll both be happier that way.

No, this thread is for people who have never been in relationships and realize that things are extremely unlikely to change. People who are sick of false words of encouragement and trite phrases like "everyone has a special someone, somewhere." We know that's not true; hell, we're living proof to the contrary.

And no, we aren't going to chin up and put a positive spin on things and try again because, hell, we barely even tried in the first place. We know what the outcome would have been, and in the event that we did try, our low expectations were fulfilled to the letter.

We see no logical reason to assume that this will ever change.

So, my fellow jaded Secret Admirers, this thread is our space. A place where we can commisserate as people who still care about love but can no longer be bothered to do anything about it. As people who have reconciled themselves to their fate but still reserve the right to be bitter about it.

This little corner of /love/ shall henceforth be our own.
