I have done this before and the only reason was to correct for perfection. I am sure the article was perfect, except for that, which you may not have seen. The question was were those valid issues? People are listening to you. They want you to succeed. I say this because this piece is highly thought-provoking and real. It is beautifully written and wonderful. I am interested in you as a person. You hold keys to my mistakes as a man. You are highly valueable. I don't know how else to communicate this to you. Your openness tells me whether or not I should even try. (I am not trying for you; you have someone, and you say you probably won’t do this anymore.)

If my best is not good enough, if my sincerity falls short, if I am so flawed that this will never work, then it's time to focus on food or reading, running, anything else, because women are impossible. It feels like they literally want everything.
