And if anything happens between us I don't want people at school to know. Not that you'll agree to have a secret relationship with me, but I at least have to find out if it's possible. I broke up with Colin, who I had a very public relationship with and I'm ready for something private. Private and real.

Or we could say that it just didn't have to be rated at all. Use our self but not rate it! ~ Albert Ellis
