I understand the Catholic thing. Catholic chicks are supposed to be wild in the sack.

But Republican?

Don't they just lie there and complain about people, you specifically, getting things for free?

RE: Possible girlfriend??
There's an Irish proverb which says, "Better married and fighting than single and lonely."

While there are plenty of exceptions, I suppose it's generally true that even bad relationships contribute something positive to your life that their absence does not. At the very least, remaining in a relationship affords the opportunity for tremendous personal growth. Of course, too, it's true that the grasss is greener on the other side, but sometimes that actually is true. Either way, I'd say that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. There will be plenrty of opportunity for things to break down all on their own without you needing to interfere to guarantee that result.

I know this is all a bunch of cliches, but I hope they've been helpful anyway. Then again, there's always the following to consider:

Quote:The supposed wisdom of proverbs is mainly imaginary. As a rule, proverbs go in pairs which say opposite things. The opposite of 'More haste, less speed' is 'A stitch in time saves nine.' The opposite of 'Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves,' 'Penny wise, pound foolish.' The opposite of 'Two heads are better than one,' is 'Too many cooks spoil the broth.' And so on.

The great advantage of a proverb in argument is that it is supposed to be incontrovertible, as embodying the quintessential sagacity of our ancestors. But when once you have realised that proverbs go in pairs which say opposite things you can never again be downed by a proverb; you merely quote the opposite.

There's your answer. Why continue pursuing someone if you admit this?

Then again, there's them bounteous opportunities for personal growth to be considered. Generally things only get gloomier when you close the door and shutter the windows.

Ya but he's the one with all the negativity about even continuing to see the girl. If he doesn't think it's going to work based on her background, then it's a complete waste of time trying to convince him otherwise.

Depends. Try to predict what would last longer; her cuteness and the fun times OR, her stupidity.
