												I have become friends with a 
												person who is so much like 
											me its scary.  We met work- 
												ing in a bookstore about a 
												year and a half ago, and 
												have since discovered that 
												we have extremely similar 
											dispositions, hobbies and  
											goals in life.  We see each- 
												other once a week, I cook 
												dinner and we sit around 
												with friends and play board- 
												games or watch a movie. 
												There is so much emotional 
												tension under the surface 
											its unbearable.  The problem 
												is that he has been dating 
												someone for a few years, 
												which means a relationship 
												between the two of us is 
											unlikely.  I had known him 
												for about six months before 
												he even mentioned a girl- 
												friend, so by the time I 
												found out I had already fallen 
											for him.  I am torn between 
												respecting his existing relation- 
												ship, and being honest about 
												my feelings with him. How 
												will I ever find anyone else 
												who loves playing the banjo, 
												wants to own their own small 
												farm, and loves beer as 
											much as I do?
