You have to be congruent with your words. No lighthouse BS I will be waiting as plan B.

I just want to warn you ahead of time 10 times out of ten you are not going to get the answer you are looking for.

Good luck!


I may be BSing myself. Will we ever know until the time comes?
Right now I'm just looking for any answer.

As for Lighthouse, I didn't say that I would be waiting. Oh no. Today I am still open. Tomorrow? I can't make any promises.
I remember getting dumped decades ago, a couple of times, only for the woman to come back later and find out I have moved on. No plan B here.
