I like guys a lot, but I'm not going to waste my time with some guy that doesn't see things the way I do... I mean do you really need this guy? I want you to be with me, I want you to marry me, I want you to love me the way that I love you. You don't tell a woman that you love her and then two days later bring Romeo over to sleep with him. You have to pick one person and make it work. Freud didn't know DICK about women. I want to look at you and not feel so hurt by you. Head up, young person.
