One of the problems with being honest -- especially if doing so makes you vulnerable -- is that you can't take it back later, no matter how much you may wish you could play it off or whatever.

At the same time, you know you were honest. If they still reject you or don't want you after that, well... their loss? Yeah, their loss.

*sigh*

I'm actually not still pining over this as much, especially not if there are potential other developments down the road. It's just so depressing being continuously rejected for being me.
