This was the last thing I expected, and I know I need to stay away from her. Only I can’t. How can you stay away from someone you’re falling in love with? But worse than that, I know I will eventually end up destroying everything I love about her“Really, I’m not as bad as my reputation makes me out to be. In fact, I’d go as far to describe myself as a decent guy. I just have no interest in a relationship that extends beyond a quick fuck when it suits me. I really don’t see how it’s my fault or problem if a chick falls for my boyish charms. Every woman seems to think she can change me, that she somehow has something all the other notches on my belt didn’t have.”
