I have remained on good standing with all my past girlfriends.
I think that's a positive.
Sometimes things just don't work out for a long term deal. No need to go crazy.
Have fun while you can - enjoy the moment(s)!
I have so many fond memories of so many moments with these ladies.
One I dated in the 80's had an MGB and was a blast to be with. We were having dinner once at a local seafood restaurant and she said to me "You know what bad habit you have?" I was thinking - oh no - what is she seeing I don't know about?!? She said "You lick your fingers." That was funny - and true. I never did it again - except maybe a little in the privacy of my home.
But that's what it's all about. Honesty with each other about all kinds of little things that contribute to growth and wonderment.
I won't be with anyone I don't respect. That's a big cornerstone.
