I don't want other people tied up in my feelings for her. I've had two dates in the six months, and yeah, plenty of flirting but it's mostly talk and I don't go much further. There's still shit keeping me from accepting someone else.
I told my cousin I'd hold off on dating until I had more to offer another person other than misery.
If I don't eat beef, there's not much incentive to create better alternatives so that I don't.
