	Well, this is in fact a celtic name, normally spelt as
	Ciaran [with an accent on the second 'a' to lengthen the vowel]
However, I see that Kiran has anglicised his name but it should still
be pronounced as "Kee-ur-awn". Must be said quickly and blended together,
but is still tri-syllabic.
Well, that's the way it would be pronounced in a celtic country, I hope
Kiran does it the same way!

Maybe I read Nance's post wrong, but I assumed that the parallelism
implied that the stoic advice-givers were the ones "speaking from life."
My take on that is that I consider myself to be happy, etc., and I also
consider myself to be speaking from life.

>I've had difficulty rejecting a woman. Why is rejecting someone so hard?
>(This connects with my recent comments in the "Cooling Off" thread.)

	Doug,I think it's good that you have difficulty in rejecting
a woman.  If you didn't, I, personally, wouldn't have any respect for
you and I'm sure most people on the net feel the same way.
If you were utterly casual about it then it would reveal a very nasty
trait in your character, a complete lack of sensitivity and emotional
immaturity.  It is difficult for all of us mainly because if we want
to reject a partner (potential or longterm) then we are the ones with
the power in the relationship and we then feel responsible for the
other person's emotions and welfare. The person who is doing the
rejecting often feels just as miserable as the rejectee and with the
added load of guilt mixed with overwhelming relief. (However, these
feelings are by no means a reason to continue with the said 
relationship if it is not right for you.)
	This is also, of course, why so many people wimp out of
doing the rejecting properly...lots of long silences, evading phone-calls,
cancelling dates etc...all in the hope that the other person will take 
the burden of guilt off them by breaking up first.  It's human nature to
feel bad about it and also to try and avoid doing it until it's an
impossible situation. However, it also shows that we are capable of 
feeling sympathy, love and empathy for others.  If this was an easy task
then we wouldn't be "human".

I'd like to offer a hearty suggetion that we shitcan this "suck-up" noise.
What, if someone who happens to be male compliments the posts of someone
who happens to be female, this is sucking up?

I see it as a refreshing change to flame wars.  As long as they don't get
carried away, like something out of alt.romance, what's wrong with a person
complimenting another person's thoughts or ideas?  I can see why people would
be leary now of openly agreeing with or even defending someone's position.

Isn't that in a sense demeaning the compliment and thus the person getting
it?

Come ON!  We're not here to drop our hankies, guys.  And those of us
who smoke can light our own cigars.  :-)

So what makes you think she was desperate? 

Because she wanted you to "make a pass" at her? Is a woman desperate if 
she wants physical contact on the first date? (Glad my SO didn't think so.) 

Because she called you a couple of times? Is a woman desperate if she 
calls a guy? I thought waiting by the phone went out with the 1950s.

A guy usually has to do a lot more than that to a woman before she 
thinks of him as desperate. Maybe she just liked you -- you say there was no 
chemistry between you, but did you get her confirmation of that, or is it 
just your personal opinion?

Yes I believe that there is "chemistry" between two people when they first 
meet.  I have experienced it acouple of times.

You meet someone new and "wham" you know it will work, some of my longest
relationships started that way. 

But I don't think that it's necessary for a relationship to develope./gb

hmmmm ... that didn't really put me off.  I'm a relatively new newcomer (I've
been on the net for less than a month), and I was no more put off by the
banter among the regulars here than I would have been at a social function
where I was a new attendee.  I kinda view subscribing to newsgroups like
joining a new organization.  It takes a little while to get a feel for the
"tone" of the group, who the regulars are, is my participation here going to
be worth my time, etc.  I've subscribed and unsubscribed to about a dozen 
groups so far, but I keep coming back to soc.singles (although keeping up 
with the traffic here can be a bit of a problem -- I mean, I *DO* work! :-)),
and a few others.

Just my opinion, of course.

Or how about David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs", or Joan Baez's 
"Diamonds and Rust"?  Whoops, getting a little depressing again.

I've posted to soc.penpals, but you can't mean me because it was about
2 months ago and I'm not a woman. :) I sent a request for smail pen
friends for my sister.  She's 34, blonde and single.  She got about 80
emails from 40+ people.  The net.world is indeed full of bachelors.
