ORIGINAL: ArtimisBlack Thank You-that (unfortunately) needed to be said. Now then, to put my 2 cents in: Why is the validity of his story of the least importance? If he is asking for advice he doesn't really need then, oh well, I guess we'll have to hope that the others that read the post learn something from that advice. So far we have had a few good points: Do not answer you phone when out on a date (vanilla or otherwise) because it's rude. If fact, just turn it off or leave it on silent to remove temptation. You can always check in at home on a bathroom break (yes, that's why the telephones are usually located right next to the restrooms) If you decide you are no longer interested in someone let them know. It's rude and a tad cruel to leave a person hanging, or worse, pretend interest when you have none. Explanations help (and go a long way to keeping the person from repeating an undesired behavior or tormenting the rest of us with "Why, why, WHY?") but they aren't strictly necessary. If you demonstrate to someone who expects to be placed above all else in your life that they are not, they are unlikely to hang around to find out more. Prioritize. In the eyes of many, flowery and long not only do not equal quality, they often symbolize a lie to the people reading the post/e-mail/etc -even if you are telling the truth. I understand that people do not like feeling that they have been deceived, but there is no real evidence that that was the case. Also, this is an open forum. Though expected and appreciated, honesty is not mandated. If you feel that the person is being dishonest, you can always just not respond. Is there really anything else that needs to be said? Very well said. I commend you on your honesty and for being a calm voice amongst these jackals that were all hell bent on destroying a slave rather than answering a simple question. I, too, told kyle he made many mistakes, including answering his phone. But given the depth of his love for those with 4-legs, I understood. It was his first time leaving these two alone with someone else and he worried. The last time he did this, his apartment caught fire and one of his two cats came away with one less life. Again, no one knows the full background story as to why things went down the way they did. I did and understood his paranoia, especially the frantic cry of a cat that almost never says anything. I am not a cat lover, but I saw the depth of his love for his cats. If one of your cats never spoke, then suddenly made ear-splitting noises you might get panicked too and leave. But I forgot, "it's just a cat" to most everyone in here. Everyone in here, save one or two, had an opinion on everything else except how to deal with his heartbreak. Opinions are like buttholes; everyone has one. And there were quite a few buttholes in here this weekend.
