cgroom: An interesting subject (I wrote on this, too). I like that this is compact, honest, and has a good rhythm.

cgroom: Just speaking off-the-cuff, though, you ask the hardest and most important questions a person can be asked. I like the twist at the end -- the necessary uncertainty -- but then everything is turned on its head because this is called "Personals." That implies that both people -- the poster and (implied) responder are jumping into a correspondance between complete strangers using complete self-knowledge as a starting point and... yeah. It ties the mind in knots, in very interesting ways. Not sure if that's what you intended or if I'm digging too much into it.
