Pardon me while I go retrieve my eyeballs, which have just rolled out of their sockets and across the floor.
Connie, have you not yet gotten it through that thick skull of yours that Phil just isn’t into you that way, and never really was? How many times do you have to make a fool out of yourself before you finally see the light?
And you’re telling me that she even starts dating Ted, Paul Jones? Desperate is one thing – insane is something else altogether!
Connie still brings up about Elly’s brother, Phil. She determined not to deal with Phil after she saw the lady who answered the door with French speaking at Phil’s house. Now she brought her old past and asked Elly about Phil again! Sighhhhhh! Connie, do not bring your dumb ol’ past from the stinky sewerage! Leave yours in the stinky sewerage plant for good and move on!
Connie … Connie … Connie … still chasing after the perfect, ever-elusive Phil even though she knows he’s got a very pretty, French girlfriend. Some people just never learn no matter how many times they keep banging their heads against the wall!
Elly really needs to be bluntly honest with her head-in-the-clouds best friend regarding her brother … that he’s just not interested in her … and she needs to forget about him and move on because if she doesn’t, she’ll just get hurt (not to mention she’ll stay single forever and will never be able to find another man to love and marry). As long as Connie continues to hold on to this fairytale story she has spun for herself with her as the heroine and Phil as the romantic lead, she’s doomed to nothing but a life of disappointment and unfulfilled dreams.

FBoFW is a one-dimensional soap opera! If you were a soap opera fan, then you’d understand its real allure to the majority of us who love that aspect of it!
I’m a huge “Y&R” fan and have been for many years now. Some of these FBoFW comics (such as the never-ending saga of Connie’s unrequited love for her best friend’s brother) can be even better than some of the plots on my television soap!!!
Connie reminds me too much of an email friend who is so needy that she phones me long distance for chats about a BF she thinks she thinks is her soulmate even though he has a GF closer to his own age and she’s older, though still young. I try ro regard her as a very messed up daughter, though she’s even younger than my kids (and mine have already made me grandmother of 6). I try to encourage her to find friends she can really relate to in her own geographic location and who might share her ideas and interests. Some people just can’t see things realistically- that IS a problem.

Farther than that. Same thing happened to “Ugh” the caveman.

To be burned on the stove is a lesson. To be burned on the same stove twice is an education. To be burned on the same stove three times is suicidal.

Phil *is* trying to teach you something, Connie. Like “I’m just not that into you”…
