At times I wish you would come to me first before discussing issues concerning you and I with ----, ----- or ------ ... It seems by the time you have your mind made up and determined to do whatever it is that you plan to do ... Any input that I have is no good.

"(This weekend I smiled to myself when --- said we would make a cute couple.) But the truth of the matter is that there is more to relationships than just being cute together." I know as well as you that being a cute couple means nothing ... A relationship is hard work and one must put alot of time and effort into making a relationship work.

"Well, I've sat and looked at our interaction, and in my observations, I don't think you would be able to deal with me." Our interaction in the past week or so has been very miminal because of my sickness ... Even though I no longer have the flu I'm still trying to recover over this cough that I have ... I've been keeping my distance between all of my friends -- The only time I see anyone is if they come over to my house. It has nothing to do with me not being able to handle you ... How would you know?

You are a very mature person but I also believe that my experience in relationships leaves me wanting something that you have not yet learned how to give yet. Once again you have assumed what I can and cannot give in a relationship ... Please read the entire book before you start to critique it by it appearance ...

"Another reason why I'm writing this letter is because I feel a slight tension brewing or just a break in communication between ------- and I. Maybe its for other reason, but ---- brought it to my attention that ------- may be acting so differently towards me because at one point I expressed my interest in you." As I mentioned earlier you have assumed something that is false ... There is no tension brewing between you and ------- ... Maybe a break in communication between you and him -- but you must keep in mind he has been sick.

All and all ... I hear what your saying and I've taken it into consideration ... More to follow.
