Thank you, Mr. Pocket Calculator.

Nice precision. I bet you hear that from all the girls.

Love is not a feeling of giddy happiness; it's not healthy for human beings to remain at extremes of emotion for too long a time for any reason. If you expect to feel utterly infatuated and overloaded with joy till the day you die about ANY woman, you'd better take plenty of Valium. I've never been, but I suspect "true love" as such is a stolid, unyielding devotion to doing whatever the hell it takes to watch her back and keep her happy. You will feel like pulling your hair out sometimes, you will slam the door and yell "FINE!" until the hinges fall off and you lose your voice, you might very well use your sofabed several nights in a row during bad times. The key to love is still wanting to stay in those times. I never thought I'd say this, but I agree with Sava completely(except for the part about going down, which I consider disgusting. How are you supposed to ever kiss the girl again without flinching?). The question is, if she staggers home drunk one night, confesses to cheating on you, bursts into tears, then rushes into the bathroom with her hands over her mouth, looking as unglamorous as she possibly could, will you still hold her hair back while she barfs in the toilet, help her to bed, and save the recriminations for the morning?
Well, maybe not THAT severe a situation, but hopefully you see what I'm getting at.
