“Lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for.” Clarence Darrow.

Debatable.

I've come to the conclusion that outside of general compatibility and chemistry, when it comes to whether a relationship succeeds or fails in it's infancy, it all boils down to timing. In situations like these do we just shrug our shoulders and walk away? Do we wait and see how the chips fall? Or do we risk it all?

I've always been a realist and if I was a betting man - certainly for today, then I'd say the house is winning.
