Well folks, I'm now a free agent.

I don't think it would be fair for me to say what's been going on with Annie, but while I think it'd be strange to see the back of her after 6 years, I think it's time for me to give her some space.

I saw Jennie, the hot Finnish girl who I'd thought was a certainty today. She seemed fairly disinterested. The thought crossed my mind that she's playing hard-to-get, but she's overstepped the line if she is. I think that one's a no. Compared to some of the shit I've been through in the last 2 months, this is nothing- I know nothing about her; she was just fit.

"Plenty more women in the sea" as my mate Tristan, who was prone to mixing his metaphors, once said.

I'm learning lessons from the past and I've decided that making out with the German twin on either or both of those 2 traits is not a good way to go- I could see things getting messy for the sake of a "trophy".

Consequently, I have no immediate options open to me, which may be in no small part due to having the clearest picture I've had in some time of what I want.
I don't think I've ever met anyone like what I want and can't imagine why a girl like that would be seen with me, but I'm shooting for the moon, hoping for a miracle and I'm not planning on stopping until I find what I want.

Or maybe I'm promoting my idealistic streak to reassure myself I haven't been defeated; I just tactically withdrew...

"Run away!"

PS. Thanks for the comments about my friends dilemma. I haven't made a decision on what I'm going to do yet, but I intend to sort something out soon (preferably before Christmas).
