note: for computer geeks and other types of geeks like me, != means, is not the same as (that is, does not have the same meaning as - there can of course be overlap). Even though the only information provided about people was their appearance, I did know some of them beforehand, and "admired" them because - I strongly admired them, but didn't feel a crush for them, or etc. (etc. etc. etc.)
Not that anything here or elsewhere makes sense, but it did to mention.
And because of the ambiguity, I (... mostly but not consistently) am trying not to "admire" people in relationships anyways. I need the tsuris?
(Edit: not. Insert not. Changes meaning, that. _not_ to admire people. I may and often do admire them, but not to "secretly admire" them, not when there's this ambiguity.)
