Thoughts
1. I don’t think perfection even means happiness.
2. If you don’t take a chance with the nice guy, your existential crisis might get a lot worse.
3. Do you know gmail chat? It’s pretty sweet, but like most chat applications it’s not as fulfilling as a conversation where you can hear the other person’s voice. So we’ve decided that in this case, “chat” is singular and “chat” is still the plural, because it’s not worthy of being called “chats.” Chats imply something cozy, involving hot beverages and plenty of time.

There’s also the verb, to chat, which to me is a casual and comfortable conversation of variable length. “Matt chatted me up for at least an hour over beers.”
