Wow...well first off, I don't believe dating is a complete waste of time, considering that you are not necessarily always going to get let down...and if you worry about being stabbed in the back all the time you aren't going to be prepared for being stabbed in the front by a true friend
( ... )
Shit son, I kinda like dating. You know, the "I'm trying to get you into bed" dating...then again, maybe I just enjoy the hunt. Hehe. In which case, I could get off bo stalking deer in the woods with a bow and arrow. As for trust, I suppose I agree with Machiavelli. In general you shouldn't trust people because when you do, you become dependent. I guess I'm a fool because I trust people way too easily, though I never had any issues with that until recently. It's funny how quickly things can go from a friendship to a war, like in the movie where Orlando Bloom takes the wife of his ally. Hmm. Interesting.
Oh well. I guess there's no real conclusion here, but I guess it all tells us that you need to be ready for war before you can risk trusting anyone.

Time for me to add my two cents...promisesmade85May 25 2004, 14:48:23 UTC
I not only put my trust into someone, but I put in all my time, efforts, resources, money and care into one person. All last summer, all I did was cater to his every need, and gladly too. Then he moved away to college, and turned into the biggest prick ever. He was the best friend/bes boyfriend I ever had, and I had never felt such a bond with someone. It all hit me when I drove up in a blizzard 7 hours to visit him at school one weekend, and instead of a hello I got a "Dont act up while you're here, I get more respect here then I do at home

All i'm going to say is all of you bring up good points; and Nick you bring up a very touchy subject. You have to learn who to trust and not to trust is the way I see it, because if you go around not trusting anyone period, you might miss that once in a lifetime moment/person. I tend to trust and forgive a little too liberally, but learning from your mistakes is part of life's journey. The best course of action to take in my opinion is to follow what J.F.K. once said: "Forgive your enemies, but never forget what they have done." In other words, don't let yourself become bitter as a result of the actions performed by people who have indeed betrayed and back stabbed you. Because in the end, they win twice. Take a look at what happened, put it behind you and move on with the lesson learned.
And yea, Nick (Henry) shit you definitely can't forget about the sex :)
"Forgive your enemies, but never forget what they have done." This is true. Especially since I could never, as long as I live, hate the person in question. We went through a lot, and I thought that the distance between us while we were both at school was going to kill us. I could never hate him, but at the same time, I could never forget what he did. Good advice. Thanks.
