Single Scenarios
Lessons: “Now I Know…”

The Men:

Chad:  “I feel really guilty about a relationship I got involved in where I knew the woman was too nice for what I had in mind.  She was hoping for marriage or at best a serious relationship and all I wanted was fun and sex.  I felt really bad when I learned she had suffered a nervous breakdown when I stopped seeing her.  I will never again fool with a woman who’s more serious about the relationship than I am.”

Saul:  “A guy doesn’t have to lie.  I finally learned that the average woman prefers 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 have to duck and dodge, which is ridiculous if you’re in casual relationships that are defined as such.”

Bill:  “I will never marry another woman with children.  I had the roughest marriage because I married a woman who had two boys with a father who was very involved.  My life was made a living hell every time I spoke in my own house regarding their behavior.  I’m in the process of a divorce, and it’s all because I followed my heart instead of my head!”

Randy: “I learned that there are no real benefits to being a nice guy.  As the saying goes, it’s true that the nicer a man, the less he’s appreciated.  I am never late, thoughtful, and available, and every woman I meet seems to be looking for someone with rougher edges and a slicker front.”

The Women:

Beth:  “I learned that 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, at the age of 35, 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.  I also learned that I had to learn to choose friends, just like I would choose a new house, for fit and compatibility.”

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 month and all my ‘philosophical’ friends are still single and jumping through all kinds of sex hoops to get proposed to.”

Colette: “I came to realize that it’s not smart to not place limits in a relationship when you’re single.  For years, 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 keyword here is little.

Vicky: “The best relationships are the ones where your values are compatible and your ideals are similar.  I’ve spent too much time with men and women who were not of like minds, and I suffered as a result of poor judgment.  One girlfriend 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 girlfriend all the details of a romance.”
