Then she called us out for basically leaving her on read.”It’s hard to meet people, isn’t it?

Financially, he’s older, he’s more mature, he’s more settled.“He once played into this roguish character that people saw him as, and became a parody of himself.

I want to get married. I want to have kids as well. “I’ve always thought, what type of person will I be?
