Casual acquaintance is easily defined
As to not really knowing what’s on their mind
Toeing the ground smiling and looking so demure
With all it can take me I hold back a sneer
Double dating is hell fittingly describes
Mutual declension makes pittance the bribe
With future dealings new pictures required
I’ll be dammed without it that I’ll be conspired

My best friend–BEST friend–in high school hooked me up with some real creep to double date just so she could go out with her “dream” guy! Who needs enemies when you have “best” friends! Haha…ugh!
Right on, Michael!

Only happened twice. No good from either experience. Sometimes a current picture just isn’t enough. It was OK though, each time the feelings were mutual. smiles..
