4 Simple Rules… for dating the wrong man

1. Even if you want to sleep with him right away, don’t. Make him wait. Like a rock in a river. Wash over him, run through his mind and wear him so smooth that he won’t cut you when you fall. Wear him so smooth that he’s no longer a rock at all.
2. Do not tell him about your broken engagement, about the pain you crave, about your tiny ribs being crushed under the weight of a man much larger and how that was the last time you felt truly loved. Those stories you long to tell, the luxury of lying next to someone and being completely naked, keep that to yourself.
3. Don’t ask what he wants. You know. He wants to devour you whole and blame you for being too full. He wants to be engorged on you, you must titrate. Your body, questions, your time… don’t ask him what he wants. You. All at once and then none at all.
4. Be hopeful but hopeless, you must always climb only to fall.
