Heya kid! New wheels eh? Nah I'm pullin your leg, I saw who was drivin! Saw her before! You two an item now? Good on ya! Let me tell you something about dating...nothing! Been a while for old Mike! Had a few good times though! There was this one summer where...nevermind. Anyway you gotta understand some stuff, dating and relationships have a dynamic, it's never going to be 50-50 but ya give what you can. If you aint getting what you need, talk about it! Give it a chance! Don't go to bed angry and if the talkin don't work, get some space and think about it. Nothin wrong with a bit of space! Nothin wrong with walkin away either. Don't make it a focal point of your life, stand apart but together, you're a team! Listen to your friends too, they might see something you don't. Love can blind ya! Yeah, been a while for ol' Mike! That's fine too, Mike learned that it's okay to be alone, it aint his focal point and if some lady comes runnin in that Mike likes back so much the better! Anyway it's gonna hurt kid, but that's a good hurt! That's the kind of hurt that makes ya feel alive! Don't be afraid of it! Now hand me that red bucket and clock out early, go be with your lady! We'll do the prep work tomorrow morning!
