- First, I'm not sure how much help you'll get on such a topic by posting
- it to HELP-NET/Info-Nets. I would suggest, though, sending the following
- batch file to a listserv, such as LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU, to find mailing
- lists that you may be able to talk about your problem with:
-
- //ListSrch JOB Echo=no
- Database Search DD=Rules
- //Rules DD *
- search love in lists
- index list.8 node.8 title.62
- search love in new-list
- print
- search love in intgroup
- index #.6 subject.72
-
- But as far as what help I can give you, I don't think I can give much.
- You're really in a situation where you can't do much, and I see that you
- realize that you're powerless, in you're posting your problem to this
- mailing list. You could be extra nice to her, in your attempt to show
- there's a better alternative, but probably she'll see right through what
- you're doing. Showing too much (if any) affection could backfire. As hard
- as it may be to accept, you may have to go on with your life, and look
- for someone else. You'll have to let her make her own mistake. It's either
- that, or pray for the best, and hope her fiance gets some terminal illness,
- and succumbs to it, where you can jump in and promise you won't do the
- same thing to her.
- But in all seriousness, I hope we all will be able to find our own Lisa...
