Now that you mention it, yes it does go both ways.  Often not that obvious,
but I know I've been infatuated with the unavailable and avoided the more
available (*lots* of other factors involved, but the Groucho Marx syndrom
is pretty powerful in lots of us of both sexes: "I wouldn't want to belong
to a club that would have me as a member!")

Some pretty good ideas, which I don't wish to criticize.  For now, I just
want to encourage more people to "brainstorm" this problem, as you have,
as a natural behavior that we need to understand in order to live with it
... or better yet transcend it.  Me?  I'm too confused to start, I'll wait
a bit.

By the way (btw), *THIS* is the kind of discussion I read net.singles for,
and why I value it above most others (flames and all).
