so about being in love, ever?
BetCbball: no
BetCbball: not then

would guess there are
BetCbball: not sure they
are all true
whaleman: those count
whaleman: too
BetCbball: i dont trust
people
whaleman: was that from
the start or did it develop along the wauy?
BetCbball: my parents
showed me i couldnt trust anyone

that is where the trust issue started that makes a lot of
sense

when i was floating i didnt really find anyone i connected with
whaleman: a lesson i
didn't learn until my son's mother
BetCbball: lucky you

unchanged

the book, the girl falls in love with a guy
whaleman: it just showed
up though, so it may end up in disaster
whaleman: and i was
just wondering if something like that had happened to you
BetCbball: no
whaleman: 'i didn't

can't see looking for women inbars because all you meet is wome who hang out in
bars

look at websites and chatrooms to meet anyone

last resort for people
BetCbball: you should
BetCbball: i don tthink
its a last resort

easier for people who are shy or dont know what to do

the patience to go through that search the regular way

the book got a job at 7-11
