2132. Safe

Be glad
That I
Vent
My
Dating
Frustration
On paper
And not
At you
:-)

2131. Next!

I am
Resilient
And
No longer
Accept
Bad
Behavior

2130. Decoded

"Where do
You live?"
Is code
For
How much
Respect
Should I
Give
To you
Based on
How much
You earn
And should
I take you
To a good
Or bad
Restaurant

2129. That's a No

No.
You can't
Have
My number.
No,
I won't
Write.
No.
I don't
Wait
If you're
Thirty
Minutes
Late.
No.
You
Certainly
May not
Stay
The night.
Why?
Because
We just
Met.
You
Haven't
Earned
My trust
Yet.
Heck,
You don't
Even know
My last
Name.
If you
Can't
Or won't
Earn
My
Friendship
And love
Over time,
Then
I say
To you
One word:
Goodbye.

2128. F You, Too

"I'm so,
So
Sorry
That I
Stood
You up,"
He wrote.
I responded:
"You'll be
Sorrier
Now that
I've
Blocked
Your ass
On OKCupid,
Punk."

2127. Respect

Treat each
Person
With
Respect,
For you
Don't know
How
Difficult
Their road
Has been.

2126. Told You

I told you
It was
Not okay.
You figured
It was,
Anyway.
You went
And did
What I
Asked you
Not
To do,
And now
You
Wonder
Why
We're
Through.
