I think I'm actually better at reading through the lines than I give myself credit for, but I doubt my own judgment. That, and I feel guilty being ruthless. If that makes any sense. I give into this expectation I've learned that I should at least give a man who is giving me attention a chance rather than maybe heed my own gut instinct. I mean, yeah, part of it is that I don't totally trust my gut. And maybe that's where experience will come in. As an aside, I need to learn to trust my gut in order to do the job I do so... I can't keep stuffing down those red flags and ignoring my spidey sense.
