Never again will I shed a single tear over being dumped by someone who didn't bat an eyelash at throwing away the years I invested in our relationship.

Never again will I pursue someone romantically and sacrifice my time and resources while they bask in the attention of me and the other fools doing the same thing I am.

Never again will I waste my time on strangers whose only redeeming characteristic is being physically attractive.

Never again will I buy a drink for a stranger in a bar, hoping for nothing in return but scraps from the table.

Never again will I subject myself to the degrading position of a foolish romantic, who after every possible humiliation, asks for more of it.

Never again will I toss out my money to uphold the chivalry I used to believe in to earn the respect of a woman who used that system to her advantage. Better to use the paper in the stove during the winter to warm the house.

And lastly, Never again will I waste my potential planning for a woman in my future. I'm going my own way.
