Second Chance--I won't get hurt.

I was watching this show called "Second Chance" on TLC.
It's where a couple has broken up and one of them wants a
second chance. It's usually a girl that wants the second
chance but I've seen a guy plan it too.
Today's episode kind of made me think a little bit.
The girl's name was Erin. The guy was Steve. She wanted
to meet up with him and see if they were on the same page
and maybe could start their reltaionship back up. So, she
called TLC and they got a hold of Steve and had this
little meeting all planned out.
First off, they were meeting at the feild where Steve
plays baseball. Erin was hiding and Steve's coach was
asking Steve questions that Erin had written for him.
Steve got some of the right questions wrong. Like, he was
asked who said 'I love you' first and he didn't know. He
was asked what Erin's pet fish, which he took care of for
a week and almost killed, was named and he didn't know.
He got her favorite color wrong, too. Erin was a little
upset but wasn't going to let that ruin the date.
Next, they went to like an art gallery where they both
painted a picture. They got 10 minutes and they were
suppossed to paint a picture of each other. When they
laid their paintings beside each other you could tell that
they were different. Steve's painting was carefree while
Erin's was more thought-out.
Last, they went to a restaraunt. Erin brought up the
subject of where they each were in their lives and if it
was possible to stay in touch. Steve said they would
definatly stay in touch, but that he didn't think that
either of them were ready to be together again. You could
see that he broke Erin's heart again by the look on her
face. She went into the date expecting to get back
together with Steve and he wasn't ready.

I think there's a pattern here. It happens alot. Girls
mature faster so they want more of a relationship. Boys
want something new...something fun.
That's kind of how I feel. I don't want some fling. I
want more than just a two week ordeal. I don't want a guy
thats going to ditch me after he's made out with me a few
times. Maybe I'm not old enough for something serious
yet. But, that doesn't mean I have to settle for flings.
I'm taking things slow so that I don't have to go through
alot of heartbreak. Erin set herself up for a heartache.
She thought she would end up back with Steve. If I don't
have any expectations...I won't get hurt. If I don't let
my heart be lied to...I won't get hurt.
