...but the following excerpt from the BW article caught my attention:

Says one young man: "If my girlfriend sends me an e-mail note, I spend hours agonizing over what I think she really means."

From that statement alone, one could infer that said girlfriend has issues with being open (and maybe honest)... and that, in turn, leads readily to the conclusion that "Houston, this relationship has a problem."
