The N Word
I did it.
I said no.
New Man made it clear to me what he wanted from me. Fun, fun, fun, he said. He liked me, but but couldn't offer me anything serious. Wanted to know if we could be two adults, just having a good time together.
I told him no.
I told him I wanted more than what he was offering.
What do you want? he asked.
I want commitment. I want someone I can depend on to be there for me.
I want love to be a possibility.
I won't compromise.
I won't settle for less.
I said no.
