Now we are all human. Some of us male of course, the other female. We go through life thinking this first person that likes us just maybe the person we are willing to be with ten or twenty years later. We each also have a buddy or friend that we believe has our best interest in mind, but they don’t. I have encountered two of the these kinds of friends. They are only around to move in on your intimate ventures. I was getting mixed messages for a young lady from the past. When she called my phone the message board turned upside down. There was a male who referred to me as his brother. This so-called brother made it his business to know who I knew. He lived about three or four states away. He told me every day he wanted this one and that one. Pining for information he asked constantly about each girl that I knew. I wondered, why does he keep asking me this? I thought he just wanted to be a part of something. Soon I found out what he wanted was to date all the females that I did. Problem was he wanted relationships with all the females I did. This became evident when I got into it with that girl a few weeks before. He was the one she cheated on me with. I wondered should I have put him on with someone? A tough question I had no choice but to answer.
