Romance...

There are great, gorgeous men here who are really interesting and could be great friends. There are also other men… The type that thinks that love & a relationship can be created out of thin air, and that women can only be persuaded with extreme declarations… You can buy books with “the 100 best romantic text messages” which include the most flowery examples of fake romanticism –including spelling mistakes like “sweaty” instead of “sweetie”.

A typical text conversation that can take place if you know each other for about 5, maximum 10, minutes:

This is why, on the whole, you should not give out your phone number. Although… giving out your number certainly leads to a lot of hilarious situations!
