Romance, I Thought You Were Dead

I was reading this woman's website, and her story about meeting and having dinner with Joss Whedon.

She told this story:

"Joss admitted that when he was growing up, particularly when he was in high school, many of his friends thought he was gay.

He told us a story of this girl that he adored back when he was younger, Nancy . She was beautiful and she didn't think of him as more than a friend. He met another girl -- a friend of a friend, who blew his mind when she called him up and announced that she wanted to sleep with him before vacation ended. And it ended the next day.

He had an interesting choice to make -- hook up with this girl, or spend his last evening of vacation with Nancy , worshipping her from afar, so to speak.

Joss picked hanging with Nancy over a sure thing.

(And yeah, we all fell even more in love with him when he said that.)"

I don't know why, but the more I think about this story, the harder it is to choke back tears.

Are there REALLY men like that out there?

Joss can bring ANYTHING back from the dead. Even my bitter, cold heart.
