Why you should never be a girlfriend: relationships usually end painfully

Ah. Don't make me break out the Tennyson. "'tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." Sorry, I had to!

"'tis better to have loved and lost 5 times, than never to have loved at all."

Is this version true too?

Ah yes, "the zone".

Whenever I start living with / working with / dating someone I always make sure to warn them about "the zone". I've been known to completely tune out everything around me to the point that it takes someone waving their hands in front of my face to get my attention.

I try to tell people it's nothing personal, and I'm not consciously ignoring them, but I don't know if they believe me. The worst is when I realize 5 minutes later that someone was trying to get my attention and gave up.

Most people frown on serial marriages for some reason. :)
