The interrogation is a scenario that most singles are quite familiar with. It involves a minimum of one "detective" who's leading the interrogation, and a single person who's declaring their innocence.

I got an email a while ago from a woman who was interested in someone but the other person didn't reciprocate those feelings. It was clear from her writing that she felt hurt and unwanted. This is understandable and I don't think anyone would react differently. Honestly, I'm not sure I can come up with …
