Quid Pro Quo
So I'm on the phone with this guy I know who's been trying to come over all evening. So I tell him I don't want him to come over because I don't want to get into anything, to which he replies that he has more self control than I give him credit for. Where have I heard that before? Things are just different now. In my younger days, I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. But I don't want to be used. Perhaps it's wrong to impose things on him based on what I experience with other people, but there's a reason for the saying "once bitten, twice shy". I don't think anyone wants to be treated like they have no value as a person and certainly no one wants it to become a trend. Is it becoming a trend? What happed to the trend of men who genuinely liked me? While not without it's negatives, I'm thinking I like that trend better. At least this person says nice things to me and compliments me. Some people don't even bother. Some people won't even bother to not say mean things about me. Like par exemple, if I say I don't appreciate them insinuating that I might be willing to be their on-call whore, they say "okay". They don't say "I'm sorry that I gave you that impression because I don't think that you're a whore "!! So obviously, they do think that, because they never made any attempt to persuade me otherwise. Well, I'll take someone who wants sex and actually likes me over someone who wants sex and thinks I just might be desperate enough to agree ANY DAY .
