Part of my recent setback was opening up to a woman I was dating. I was honest even though I felt vulnerable. My philosophy has been at 63 that I don't want to waste my time, nor waste the time of another so I'll just be honest from the start. I don't expect perfection and cannot offer it. We don't get this far in life without battle scars.
She used that honesty against me and just made it orders of magnitude harder for me to open up to the next woman. **** that ****, I'll play my cards close to the vest.
