Constant craving

M: So what the new guy you've been seeing like?
J: He's nice. I'm not in love with him but he's a distraction from my broken heart. It's funny, other guys I've seen have made me miss S more than ever but I don't seem to miss him quite as much when I'm with Greg.
M: Oh that's encouraging maybe this is going to lead to something more.
J: No I don't think so in fact I think I've figured out what it is. Greg is really quite different physically to S but there are certain aspects to his personality that are similar - like he's really arrogant and super-confident but he's also warm and sweet and funny ...
M: and...?
J: Well I think that he gives me a small amount of what I used to have with S. He's like a nicotine patch for my heart, he stops the cravings just enough to make it bearable...
