No kidding! He can babysit the kids at the park while Claire and her significant other have some alone time together.

I'm pretty sure my chance has already come and gone. I appreciate all of the feedback, and I'm sorry it didn't go anywhere. It's just that it seems fairly straightforward. If she liked me a fraction as much as I like her, she would have made herself more available. Since she's coming in way less and spending more time with her boyfriend, it seems she's made her choice.

On the plus side, now I don't have to learn how to be in a relationship.

or she just got tired of waiting for you to make a move. But you knew somebody was going to say that, right.

I normally swear never to give advice on such matters. Damn internet, makes it too easy to shout your opinions to the world. I'll stop now but I'll finish with, "If you don't ask her out now, you will never know for sure and that will be way worse for wayyy longer, as opposed to the quickly passing feeling of rejection."

Or you can just sing Tiffany's "Could've Been" to yourself alone every night for the rest of your life.

Thats too bad CV, life does go on though and there is no one 'perfect' person out there for you.

Bren, your leather jacket and gun slinging habits don't scare me a bit, but coming up with a Youtube of Tiffany?? That terrifies me!

You know, that's a very good point, Murph. I hadn't put two and two together like that, but I guess Bren is more complicated than I thought. Hmmm, "Dear Diary, today I rethought my analysis of Bren ..."

Bren is a sentimental 80s brat -- complete with high bangs -- trapped in the body that oozes punk cred.

He's an enigma, really.

Hmm. I'll have to ask him what it's like to have a four-headed penis.

Wait, you said enigma, not echidna.

For a truly frightening look into my mind - I think I still know all these lyrics on these two albums.

Seemingly a bit of a dichotomy, but I owned the Tiffany eponymous CD at the same time as Venom, Slayer and Cryptic Slaughter vinyl.
