So it seems I have gotten some chocolate today. Unsigned. Did any of you happen to see/hear anything?

Marius very specifically dates not of the co-inhabitants of Xavier's. Personal regulations aside, that way lies the Going of Evil, the Blasted Crater in the Hallway Carpet, and of course the ever-popular Screaming Catfight in the Foyer.

So yes. Julio, whilst I haven't any idea which of the lovely ladies has seen fit to express her appreciation of you, I offer these three words: best of luck.

well, fortunately for me I do not sleep with more than one woman at a time, so I will avoid this problem. For instance, my ex-girlfriend did not set me on fire when i broke up with her.

Chivalry is more than getting a woman to take her top off.

I am somewhat weary of the implication that one's level of promiscuity is in direct proportion to a lack of respect for one's favoured gender. See the various female relationships in my life, beginning with my own mother and going along down the line to a good many of my mates, all of whom are both willing and imminently able to punish me for such lack of respect. I also respect and fear these individuals enough to, say, refrain from such acts as planting a camera in their locker room.

I love women. I simply feel no need to attach myself to any one in particular. I have a great many enjoyable female acquaintances, platonic and intimate; my life feels no more empty for a lack of committment, and certainly less complicated.

. . . I confess I am not entirely certain how I achieved this tangent, but surely it may be somehow applicable to the spirit of Valentine's Day.

I say it simply because I have been in love, and while it was ultimately a bad idea, it does not mean that I do not want to be in love again. I cannot imagine someone who willingly does not seem to want it. It confuses me. being in love is terrifying yes, it is giving someone the power to hurt you horribly, but also it makes everything sharper and more in-focus.

Imagine the feeling of scoring ten game winning goals, and being able to get that feeling just by taking someone's hand.

That is why I want to know who left me this present. It takes an act of insurmountable bravery to even tell someone that you like them. I do not want this to go unanswered.

Possibly our conception of love merely differs. I care for my mates a great deal, and, despite all logic, my family as well. Those are constants, and that level of affection I maintain in a separate sphere. However, that is not to say I feel nothing for the women I have the fortune to enjoy the night with. Even should the flirting come to naught I rarely find the experience was wasted -- every woman has her own unique attraction. I am hardly claiming to be above the purely casual encounter (for example, most of my fifteenth year), but ideally as much time is spent enjoying the other party's company as their physical charms. I would not call it falling "in love," but there is a certain rush in discovering that ephemermal quality which makes a woman truly attractive rather than just aesthetically pleasing. I derive pride and satisfaction from making the discovery, and endeavor to provide my partner with equal enjoyment.

Perhaps this feeling you describe is one you yourself are capable of experiencing only with one whom you love and trust, and no argument, it sounds pleasant enough. However, as for myself, I experience much the same feelings by my contact with many and varied parties. There is, perhaps, no "right," only "most preferred".

However, I do concede your reasoning for wishing to provide reciprocation to the mystery party. Utilitarian though my views of romance may be, I cannot argue such a move takes boldness. Alas, the answer is still beyond me.
