The Modern Libertine's diary

[Shannon]

When a taken woman approaches me, I usually tell her that I don't touch taken. If she is not engaged or married, and I am interested, I might also mention that if she wants to be with me, she needs to make herself single. Then it's on her... but how she handles it shows how she will treat me if someone else she is interested in comes along. Killing two birds with one stone. I won't even offer if she's engaged or married. If she agreed to engagement or marriage, there was a reason. I won't even try to make myself an option to someone who's made such a major commitment to someone else. Single women only.

Sadly rare, those.
