Has anyone ever grown so attuned to these tall-tail signs or glowing flags that they become jaded by the world of dating? When first beginning to read the article I started wondering that to myself as I started noticing how I'd be approaching things in the exact opposite fashion of the examples that were given; as if I was an old grumpy man who gave up on love. But, as I read though the remainder of the article/"story", it was so honest, entertaining, and enjoyable that I couldn't help but see this as an amazingly well-written piece towards the end and, of course, as invaluable advice. Sadly, I felt more like it was advice for someone I could only wish would resonate with the words written here. But, maybe I could be wrong and grows at their own rate, let alone it's not my place to speculate on. Great story either way and thank you for writing it and sharing it!
