The BFE is a smoke screen

[mike carey]

I would offer another suggestion as to how to characterise this and similar threads. That is, that a poster offers his experience in a meeting that didn't go quite has he'd envisaged it. It doesn't mean he is seeking validation. Maybe he wants advice on what he could or should have done differently, but even then new insights can only keep being offered for so long before they start repeating what has already been said. At that stage there is less reason for him to keep commenting. There are other things that threads like this offer apart from advice or validation for the OP concerned, and that includes awareness by readers, particularly those new to the game, of things that can happen in a meeting so that they can be forearmed.

If you sat that for 2 hours saying "What do you want to order for dinner?" "I dunno - what do you want?" and then not had sex, you pretty much had the same experience I have with my Boyfriend.
