the prudent move

someone i've been trying to avoid was again asking me out today.  i ignored the invitation and the guy made a half-joke about taking a number.  hmmm...  i do say that  ->  to others.  this guy, i really am surprised, all of a sudden he has jumped the queue.  i met him just recently and there he is, on top of the heap.  i don't understand...  or maybe i do...  sort of creeps me out, actually...  : }

i used to be really confident i can handle these things  ->  quite well, thank you very much  <-  i'm a veteran...  : (

this time, however, i'm not so sure i can stand my ground.  i'm therefore keeping distance.  i don't wanna test myself.  i might fail.

you don't fight temptation.  you stay away from it.
