This was passed around the office and I found it oddly applicable to our community. There is a chance this is a re-post, but I did a quick search and could not find this lesson in any of the threads that appeared.

Dear John,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior.
You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy - will you let me be yours?
