Have you ever gone to huge lengths to date someone?

No. And I never would.

A relationship is supposed to add to the happiness that exists in your life already. Not bring happiness to a life that doesn’t yet have it.

The girl I’m dating right now is drop-dead gorgeous. Men literally throw themselves at her. They beg for her attention like puppy dogs. I have never thrown myself at her and I never will. It’s just not my style.

She and I hang out several times a week. She sees her other guy friends once a month or so. Her iPhone has been crapping out on her and she asked me to buy her another one. I was considering it but then we got into a fight over something really stupid and I was like, screw her, I’m not getting her anything.

We made up a week later but I still refused to get her the phone. I got her some clothes instead. Her birthday was yesterday. We had plans but she canceled on me. She told me later that her other guy friend begged and begged to take her to dinner. On the way there they stopped at the mall, went to the Apple Store and he bought her a brand new iPhone 7.

Today we went back to the mall. She didn’t like the clothes I bought so we were going to return them and get her something else. We do some shopping and I tell her to get whatever she wants. She picks out a few accessories, total ten bucks. We stop by a restaurant and have lunch. I then take her to get her nails done. Total spent today: about a hundred bucks. We’re going to a New Years party together and she wanted to look good with me.

On the way back from the mall we’re talking about her friend that bought her the phone. I tell her, I hope this guy doesn’t think he’s buying a girlfriend with this phone! She looks at me and says, I know!

I’m glad he bought her the phone, that means I don’t have to hear about it every 10 seconds anymore!

Girls don’t fall in love with you on the basis of the big things you do once in a lifetime. That shit just works in the movies. They fall in love with you based on what you do for them every day.
