Single Scenarios
Revelations
Chad: “I feel guilty about a relationship I got involved in where I knew the woman was too serious for what I had in mind. She was hoping for marriage or at best a serious relationship and all I wanted was casual play. I learned she had a nervous breakdown when I stopped seeing her. I will never again deal with a woman who’s more serious about the relationship than I am.”
Saul: “Women prefer the truth and can accept the truth. Last year, I was seen out with one woman by another woman I was dating, and when she approached me in a confrontational way, I told her the truth…that she was not the only woman I dated, and she accepted it, and we continued dating. I no longer duck and dodge, which is ridiculous if you’re in casual relationships defined as such.”
Beth: “Other women are not my enemies. Before, I used to ignore the friendship of women because I saw them as catty competitors for the affection of men. But last year, I finally became a “sister.” I now have several female friends, and I realize now that my life was empty without having a female shoulder to lean on. ”
Shar: “It pays to have personal standards in relationships. Two years ago, I became a born-again Christian and promised God I would never sleep with another man who was not my husband. My friends all told me I was destined to be single forever, because no man would accept such “foolishness.” Well, I got married last year ‘and all my philosophical’ friends are still single and jumping trough all kinds of sex hoops to get proposed to.”
Colette: “It’s not wise to not place limits in a relationship when you’re single. Last year, I loaned money, gave away money and scarred my soul forever by allowing men to come in and out of my life at will and perform any way they wanted for a little companionship and the key word here is little.”
Vicky: “The best relationships are the ones where your values are compatible and your ideals are similar. I spent too much time this year with men and women who were a result of poor judgment. One close friend openly dated this guy I was crazy about after we broke up. Another friend borrowed $2,000.00 and refused my phone calls, when the due date passed. I never got my money, but I learned a great lesson. I will never loan money again or tell a friend all the details of a romance.”
