I just read through some of my previous posts. I've realized it's time for this journal to become private.

One should only ever date strangers.
If one should date and then break up with a friend, one could potentially lose a friend-maybe even a good friend. He may lose many friends as acquaintances choose sides.
If one should date and break up with a stranger met once, at worst, he loses a stranger.
(… or even gain friends.)
