Transcript
Don't have a type. Apparently, I do. I just learned my type isn't someone who wants a relationship with me and takes an active interest in my life. No. That would be far too easy. Apparently, my type is someone who could not care if I just disappeared off the face of the earth. I want someone who best me once, maybe twice a day, and then that tapers off as time goes on to once, maybe twice better three to five business days. I don't want someone who chases me. That would be far too easy. Apparently, I want someone who just does not care about me whatsoever. Come on.
