The best part about dating someone truly wonderful was that it built up my defense against guys who can never be more than friends.
Lately, when I talk to guys, I can see right through to their motives. It's easy to spot the users because I spent so many months with the most sincere person I know. After being with a good guy, it's hard to hang with the users. Perhaps I have learned on my own too.
Still, it's nice to have that one person who everyone else has to measure up against. I mean, had.
