Dear Bob,

I could never bring myself to say "Yes," whenever Ted asked me out

on a date, because I just couldn't trust myself with him. Whenever

he would ask me out, I always had to pretend I was going steady

with someone else. Alas, now I will never know true happiness!

What a fool I was, Bob----Don't you agree?

XXXXXX, Carol

Dear Carol,

Yes, you were stupid. And isn't it a pity that you didn't marry Ted?

(Back then, when there was still time.)

XXXXXX, Bob

Dear Bob,

Yes, but this is the real pity---if only they had had these new same-

sex marriage laws awhile back, then YOU could have married Ted!

XXXXXXX, Carol

Dear Carol,

But I would have been too timid to commit to marraige, even to Ted.

Don't you realize that I can never assert myself, like other people do?

XXXXXXX, Bob

Dear Bob,

Yes, that is right. That time you dated my roommmate,

I heard her talking on the phone after you let her off. And she

was telling someone that she thought you needed commitment.

XXXXX, Carol
