Stiles, because I know you will come knock my door down if I don't tell you something about him: your dog made a friend.



Please note how he looks healthy and well-fed and is not on fire or otherwise injured.

In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.
~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966

My more dominant left brain, that likes things to add up and subtract to a definite answer, does not like this quote because of the simple math. Yet, my right brain can see the beauty and sadness in the message of it. It's almost heart-breaking and I'm not usually one for such sentiment. Having watched a loved one go through both parts of the equations, it's not fun even from the outside looking in.

My head doesn't want to ever be or fall in love. And yet my heart, proverbial heart since the real heart can't have feelings, flutters a little every time I'm around him. Only he doesn't notice and that's fine. To him, he's got more important things to do and I know that I do too, but still... it's there.

It's certainly not a fun situation to be in, but I'm doing my best.

I've decided to conduct an experiment. In order to proceed, I'm going to need a volunteer.

In order to distinguish and understand the benefits and downfalls of a relationship, I think I should do two things.

1. Speak with people who have been in various types of relationships and can clearly analyze them to form a stronger hypothesis.
2. Find a willing volunteer to date me so that I can have inside knowledge on one of the relationships I know nothing about first hand.

Ultimately I want to be able to accurately categorize the benefits and disadvantages to relationships.

Any willing participants?
