He e-mailed us to say, “I’m dating both of you” | Salon Life

I love this man and his advice. I seriously, seriously do.

Craving his attention is not a good basis for a relationship. Craving his attention is like needing a drug. He made you a nice dinner. He says nice things to you. Those things — the slow-dancing, the CD, the dinner — those are not the relationship. They are relationship-oriented products. He has shown himself to be an adequate producer of relationship-oriented products. You haven’t really encountered him as a person yet; you’ve only encountered him as a competent dispenser of feeling-like substances.

Ha! Oh sure, he’s being “all out in the open and honest”. I can tell you what the guy was thinking in one word:

Threesome.

What are the odds Cary would let me send Lizzie to live with him for a week or twelve?
