The Devious Elephant


Further, quasi-self-reflection has become a billion dollar industry. In regard to romance, a secure adult wears their heart on their sleeve, is invested in the well-being of those who they are in relationship with, has firm yet adjustable boundaries, and, above all else, knows how to ask for what they need.

An early onslaught of texting, conversation, and even physical interaction that devolves into gaps in responsiveness and finally fades into an eerie silence.

Thank you for your time. I want to be married and we could have a life together. You are the most special person I have ever met. I want to spend all my time with you. Therefore, I am constantly seeking external solutions to my inner turmoil. I simply do not know how to ask for help. Do you still want to fuck me? We should totally hang out.

Many of us have taken to the internet or to an app on our phone to date.

The things I would do to that body. I want to keep my options open but you are my favorite. I desperately want to feel close to someone, but I know that they will abandon me. I live in fear and manage it through short spurts of connection. You are making me really upset.

Editorial Reviews
