i hope you are sitting. several years ago i returned from vacation with my girlfriend and ran into my childhood "sweetheart." she looked so good . . . so good that i asked when could i see her. i went home to my live in girlfriend and told her that i had to go out with nicole and get my head together. she was pissed but i went anyway. i picked nicole up and all i could think about was how great she looked. after we left the movie i asked where she wanted to eat and she said shoney's. i knew right then and there that this was a mistake. shoney's is nicole's favorite restaurant. i dated nicole from 6th grade until my junior year in school. by my junior year we had nothing in common. we could not even hold a conversation. she was silly and lacked culture and class. even now, i remember buying her a dress to wear to a formal that cost me over $150.00 she returned the dress for the money and purchased something from k-mart.
while i think it is possible for people to change i also think that many of the things you dislike about someone you have dated can remain an issue. in my case, i wanted a woman with AKA standards and not the close minded home town girl afraid to enjoy life and it's pleasures.
