Have you ever heard of a term called "Buyers Remorse" It is a psychological fact, that when people spend an amount of money they consider high; they generally feel remorse right after the purchase. It immediately disappears once you accept the fact that you paid for it, .... This is quite common so I don't hold it against them.

It's usually applied to people who have no (or little) self control or lack willpower, cannot say no when they should and know they should.

So yes, it's entirely applicable to Jay and Louise - neither of them have much self control or willpower.

We're all different though. I'm just saying that love and friendship are two different things that happen at different paces. You might not fall in love so quicly, but some people do. Some people may become instant friends, some don't. You can't really compare the two, they're different emotional ties.

For me, it is more plausible to spend 500K on somebody you know for 8 weeks than saying "I Love You".

FAB NEWS!!!

So come Xmas time, you'll have known me for more than 8 weeks.... please don't bother harrassing and fretting over what to buy me, I'm happy for you to send me the ready cash.

Ta very much.
