.... users who try to convince themselves that they are not addicted to the Internet. This group includes college students who don't go online during the day to prove to fellow students that they can do without getting online; only, to stay up all night in a chat room online. Or businesspeople who stay after office hours to supposedly get a late report done; only, to stay online until the security guy's ready to lock up the building.

.... becomes "sincere", and expresses that he is a homosexual, he would be in bad faith. He would essentially agree that he is a homosexual in the same way that a book is a book. He wold be "affirming that he is a homosexual in the sense of being-in-itself, yet at the same time he would be aware that this was not, in fact, the case.

These observations have come from watching my friends, my own experience, and the movies and books that I have read. Call me a hopeless romantic, but I am a firm believer in lightning or bells sounding when you meet the “right one”. My ex-boyfriend and I started dating when I was fourteen years old.
