Availability

I'm surprised I haven't discussed this topic before, because it's one that I think of fairly often. In the messy abyss of dating and intimate relationships, the key is finding someone who is available. Seems simple enough, right? Well, I don't necessarily mean physically, though it could be a factor, I mean emotionally, mentally, and every other way imaginable.

Do you say it's worth a go? Or do you back away? Leave the hurt for another day. Because isn't it inevitable? I mean, really, knights on white horses and pretty women being rescued from fire escapes are only found in novels and movies, right? Blech, stupid fairy tales. They've set us all up for failure.

When the odds are insurmountable and the wind is at your face, what DO you do? Do you choose your heart or your head?
