Now I'm not sure anyone here would put money on your OM to be a fine upstanding guy. More like a clinger, you know the type the one who doesn't give up when the girlfriend says its over, a desperate fool who thinks if he just hangs on long enough she'll see the light...sort of like...most LBSes at first. ; )
So, do you see where I might be going here Denver?
I ask because several times I could have jumped to the horrible wrong conclusion.
You drive by her house, and he is outside talking with her.
Is that strike one?
Maybe she is talking to him because after 30 minutes of knocking and ringing the doorbell she got tired of it, and while 'we' can say call the cops...thats not the reality. Despite what we wish, or want. Outside rather than inside, public rather than private.
If you're going to call strikes, make sure your a good umpire.
Is this hypothetical? Absolutely. Am I clouding the issue? I hope not, sometimes a strike is 100% Black and White.
Sometimes it takes a little time to figure out. And it is hard not to jump to a conclusion.
Trust... I believe it is more...honest to tell her that you want to trust her and you are learning too again.
But, that is just me.
