belle, you sound pretty good. i was worried maybe you were in a bad place after seeing mark. you know, i've actually never thought he was a player but just very confused. has anyone suggested therapy to him? i think he could use it to help sort himself out. i don't know if he is the right guy for you or not, but i think that is something the two of you have to figure out.

p.s. i'd tell the other guy pronto that you don't feel the same about him. probably best to nip that in the bud before it gets too weird.
