Be happily married

That’s a good thing, right?

. . . . so my philosophy right now is “Just get to know nice girls.” I’m unfortunately checking more girls off my list than I am circling as “intriguing”. Oh, well . . . am I too picky?

My best friend told me that if I don’t stop being so picky, I’m going to die a bachelor. I replied, “Tim, there are worse fates than bachelorhood.”

On the plus side, a couple of my friends are really nice, in terms of long-term prospects. As in, “no romance now, but keep it in the back of my mind and don’t do anything stupid”.
