To the man in black with silver glasses

To the man in black with silver glasses and gold watch, an anniversary present from someone no longer with us:

You need to take it easy and relax. Its not like she's the One or anything. But you could have yourself a few fine weeks of generally good times. She likes the same kind of movies, the same kind of art, and she absolutely digs your style. You'll find out later that you want different things in life, but don't be a jerk about it, she could be a great friend to you over the coming years. You need this sort of thing, you've been left up to your own devices for far too long. You keep thinking you want someone who fits into your life, but you haven't seemed to catch on to the fact that what you want out of life right now isn't really all that good for you. Now is the time to come out of your hole for a while and explore what life means to other people. Keep things light and slow, she'll understand; she's looking for a serious commitment, but she is also willing to get to know you as a person, and float around in a relationship herself for a little while. Besides, she wants a man she can be a grown up with, her last boyfriend never really gave her the respect she deserves. Over the last two years she's really changed from a young lady into a full-grown woman, she needs someone to help her find herself and come into her own. There is a small twist of sadness in that when she does realize what she wants, she'll understand that you aren't going to be able to give it to her; but if you suck up the ego hit and help her through this little rough patch, you'll solidify a friendship that will last a long, long time. This will be quite important to finding your own match later, it is through this person's efforts on your behalf that you will wind up meeting the Real Deal. But for now, go out and have fun, learn to be yourself, and enjoy the finer things life has to offer. It will do you good.
