		<description>Hey Cityboy, as a dating coach, I&#039;d like to add my own two cents here. Don&#039;t worry, this is not where I&#039;ll be talking from way up in my ivory tower.

Most guys DON&#039;T get rid of the women that don&#039;t give them what they want and women don&#039;t get rid of the useless men.

Why?

Because most people FEAR CHANGE... a lot. Most people would rather stay with someone so they have someone around and know what to expect...

Than to be all alone and in situations where things don&#039;t seem that certain anymore.

You see, in their minds, breaking up, being single and getting a date again will take a lot more effort than just staying with someone...

But that&#039;s BS, because no effort doesn&#039;t equal being happy AT ALL. Hell, the most precious things in life will come to you after a lot of hard work... 

But staying the same is just so much easier and way less confronting, which is exactly why most people don&#039;t get rid of the people that don&#039;t give them what they want.

And if you&#039;re reading this and recognize yourself in what I just described, ask yourself: do I want to be happy... or do I want to be comfortable?

I choose happiness over being comfortable ANY DAY, but do you?

To More Dating Success,

		<description>You seem secure with your feelings, and it&#039;s great that you&#039;ve taken the opportunity to share your optimism. You understand that to each is own, and you will still continue to live your life believing that there&#039;s someone suitable for you.

I believe you&#039;ve taken the right stance if Kerri truly cared she would make time for you and be true to her word.</description>

		<description>I completely agree with you. I&#039;ve had this happen a few times and it&#039;s hard not to take it personally at first. But sometimes you have to acknowledge that if it&#039;s not an even friendship or relationship with 50/50 give and take, then it&#039;s not worth putting your effort into.

With someone like her, it&#039;s tough because she doesn&#039;t recognise how lame she&#039;s being. I would probably half continue to invite her to stuff, but only when included as a large group invite. No point in wasting effort calling up or staying diligently in contact when she doesn&#039;t give you the same respect.</description>

		<description>She is just teasing you. She did that to see how you would response or that she is giving a message that she is not into relationship just yet.</description>
