I Don'T Waste My Time With a Phony Baloney

If I care for a woman, but she doesn’t care for me, I will just get up and not hesitate to flee. I will not waste my time with such a phony baloney. A relationship only works when there is mutual interest. She has to meet me halfway; or I’ll cross her off my list. Even if she is the personification of Venus, she won’t be missed. I have nothing to worry about if the woman I’m with is wrong. Just like buses and trains on schedule, another one will come along.

You made some stong points here Robert. I believe being right up front from the start is best. If it starts to sour between youselfs early on, put your cards on the table talk out, leave with a handshake. When things go well, its like writing, you just don't find it a shore.~~Nice Write~~

Francine, I didn't say women were buses. I said they are like buses. None of them ever gave me a free ride, either.
