Hm.
If this is a rebound relationship, by principle, no; however, if someone does break up with their partner, and makes it blatantly clear that they'd like to be with me, that's a different matter, with a different answer. (And, given that they've made clear their feelings and thoughts, then it would be rude to refuse, nay? (The counterargument is that 'oh dear, I made such a lovely item break up, o rly?))
I'm totally okay with expiring old, in my fortress of solitude, with my stony cold heart lonely and impenetrable shell; or, (what others and I would perceive to be) young but worn down and into, lonely, and like from Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, if it only worked as its name might imply (if I could be affected).
Damnit, human growth and development is depressive and leaves me racked with the want for the human touch or some emotional support or affection.
Why this thread, ur_inner_child? =s
But isn't love an opportunity that shouldn't ever be passed on, and thus worthy of selfless and shameless opportunism?
