Just because they're unique doesn't mean we have to be compulsive about
them. It's probably not a good idea to propose to a girl after the 3rd or
4th date, when romantic feelings overshadow everything. Surely you've
heard the expression "blinded by love"? Better to wait for those feelings
to wear off a bit and see if you think you can actually live with this
person the rest of your life.
With investments though I'm in complete agreement. Post the stock page on
the wall and throw darts. You will do fine.

Well you brought it up, not me!
