We ought to be careful not to assume that all net.singles readers and writers are American! Some of us are Canadian, and there are more (and subtler) differences between American and Canadian mores than is always realized. (I don't have a handy summary of the differences to quote, I'm afraid, but I believe that they exist, and that they'll sometimes influence our attitudes to life-and-love questions of the kind discussed here.) I would be delighted to read comments about the differences between American and Canadian 'singles' attitudes. Maybe the Canadians who are regular contributors should flag their articles with a maple leaf? (Laura and JAMacmullan please note.) Chris
