something to be proud of.

doing the right thing...

The man,

I look forward to seeing you again. Only, there's this: you have a girlfriend.

Therefore, we can't be more than friends. I have been the "other woman" before. I have helped men before you hurt their significant others. I won't do that again. I don't know what your status with –his girlfriend- is. I do know that I respect and like Kelly. I know that she doesn't deserve that, and neither do I. Deception only leads to resentment.

I’m sure that you already know these things, but I will lay them on the table anyway.

If you don't want to be with her, than be honest about it. If you want to be with her, than work your shit out. If you want to be with her, and want to fuck around with me, I’d have to say, it was nice to meet you, have a great life. I can’t do that.

If anything were to happen between us, well, I wouldn't want what could be amazing, in my humble opinion, fucked up by decisions that we regret later. I can imagine some incredibly intense and wonderful experiences with you, but I want that to happen where we both feel right, clear conscious and all.

I have been unfaithful in the past. It doesn't work. Even if you truly wanted to pursue something with the other person, they may somewhere inside them have doubt planted. I don’t want to loose respect for you because you’re pursuing someone while you’re still with your girlfriend. That is not where I want to begin with you. I want nothing but admiration for you.

I urge you to find out what you want. That is quite possibly the hardest decision to make.

If you’re worried that I wouldn’t date you seriously, you shouldn’t. If you’re worried about anything like that, then I’m not being honest with you. I’d like to spend a hell of a lot of time with you, and I work hard to stay busy with other things, because you distract me.

I’m so nervous about tomorrow night, excited, stir crazy, and well you could color me twitter-patted. I get like this when I have company though, I’m all neurotic and crazy, and I want everything to be perfect. I get a little crazy.

See, right now I’d like to talk to you.

I probably should have said all of this to you.
