- I have come to the conclusion that the reason Edward thinks there are no

-
- So, if the only people who are talking about being single are people who
- are not happy about it, then, of course, Edward is getting the wrong idea
- because he has NO IDEA that these (happy) people are single.
-
- What Edward is REALLY saying is that HE is not happy being single, and that
- he can't IMAGINE anyone not feeling the same.
