Single Sketches

Resolutions…

• Karina:  “I’ve learned that on dates where the admiration is not mutual, men tend to disguise their disinterest and lead you on vaguely. Whereas, when a woman is not interested, she has a hard time pretending.  She’s usually aloof, distant, and untouchable.  But a man can kiss you goodnight and throw your number away on the way home.  It happened to me two months ago.  A first-time date took all my numbers and hasn’t called yet.  I’ve also learned that if a man is really interested, he’ll call within the first week.”

 

• Stephanie: “Last month, I went out with a guy on a blind date and after dinner, he asked me to pay half the check without explanation.  I was stunned, but I paid half.  I was insulted, but I was too intimidated to ask why.  As we rode home, he broke the silence by informing me that during dinner he realized  I wasn’t his type and that he didn’t want to waste his money.  I’ve never met anyone so cruel. But that incident changed me as a person.  Never again will I be afraid to express my discomfort and do something I don’t wish to do.”

 

• Yvette: “I’ve learned that usually when a man asks a woman if she loves him, he is actively searching for an adequate reason to state his true feelings. When some men begin feeling a sliver of emotion, they can feel very vulnerable.  Despite opinions to the contrary, men can be just as silly and emotional about love as women can.  It is not always apparent because they’re so afraid of revealing feelings that make them feel stupid and easy to take advantage of.  But a smart woman can tell when a man loves her, and when he doesn’t.  It does not have to be stated.  It remains in his eyes until it dies.”

 

• Kerry: “I’ve discovered that a sound relationship is one where two people have enough things in common to be compatible and enough differences to keep it interesting. There is only one reason why a relationship ends. Boredom    That’s why in many relationships, sex takes the place of conversation, but that is usually temporary.”
