This is why kiwis can be found on every other inhabited continent ... need to spread the gene pool out. 'you: geeky, self-possessed, gay(prolly) - me, tired, broke, geeky & political' => relationship suicide cynical, no .... ;-) Y’know, New Zealand’s too small for this sort of thing – it’s more a case of meeting someone new, talking for about 3 exchanges, finding out they slept with your sister/your best friend/your ex and walking off.

‘you: geeky, self-possessed, gay(prolly) – me, tired, broke, geeky & political’ => relationship suicide

(Not straight into my cart, I'm afraid, but when the big bucks start rolling in...) ps: I know someone who met her husband this way! At least, I assume they're married by now, because she must be one of the most conventional people I've ever met. Not weird at all. But a boy she had noticed many times before on her daily trainride wrote about her in one of those free newspapers that you can get at stations, he was too shy to say something just like that, I assume, and they've been living happily ever after since then. So there! That one’s going straight on my wish list! (Not straight into my cart, I’m afraid, but when the big bucks start rolling in…)
