Fortunately (or unfortunately), I've had 8 years of singlehood, and by some standards, I've dated a LOT!!, though I've spent literally years alone as well. Thru it all, the compromises, etc., I've learned to discern when someone is "not right" for me. Some other woman will just love it, I'm sure. One thing he mentioned during his lengthy phone monologue is that he "wouldn't settle" in finding ms.right. Boy!!! Man!!! neither will I!!! Even a date over coffee would have been too much "work" for me. Too picky, me??? I don't think so, just discerning, as I should have been all these years.
By the way, Artist, do you have a website featuring your art?
