Fish-man,
When you first came, I think I preached patience, and stillness, and told you this was going to take a long time. You wanted things to happen fast, well, you are not alone there! When you claimed busted, well, I was pretty sure that was a mirage, it was too soon, way too soon. Step back, get back to a beginners mind. And get ready for the long haul. The one you though you could bypass. And get that dating idea far out of your head!
