When he falls in love with another or two

It always puzzles me just how often people come here asking for advice without any intention of following it, considering it, or doing anything other than what they were planning to do anyway. People put a lot of thought and effort into their responses for nothing.

Yes, we see this a lot! I like to imagine that there are many people reading along who don't post and are getting quite a bit out of the many wise and thoroughly well thought out responses to the OPs.

Yeah, even if it doesn't help the OP, one can always hope it'll help *someone* out there.

Seems like a good way of seeing it. Sharing insights and advice in the hope that the person receiving it will take it onboard is probably a recipe for frustration.

You just never know who is reading, and you never know when something makes sense many years later. "Now I know what she meant...."

Very much so ;-)
