Here is just one example of how cold it can get for you out here if you’re not careful.
Dated him, knew he wanted to get married and she didn’t, stuck it out long enough to get the baby, then left once the goal was reached.
The “variety of reasons” didn’t stop her from dating him, getting pregnant with and keeping his child, or getting her to get what she wanted from him(or any man really) in the interim i.e sex and attention, but afterwards they did keep her from giving him what he wanted and gave her justification to leave the relationship.
They’ll date you, use you for what they want out of you, and then by the time they get what they want they will coincidentally be over you move on when they’re ready.
Put yourselves first guys.
