I didn't quite realize just how pushy some folks can be. Of course, it's one thing when you're familiar with one another, or even acquaintances for that matter. But the slightest slip up and some are rather quick to accuse you of being the very thing you aren't interested in finding...

Strange how that works out, no? 

On a lighter note, thanks for all the responses of notice! I'm excited [and honestly a bit overwhelmed] with all the messages of interest. Something tells me I should've done this earlier! :]
