I'M A BIG PERSON OF CHARACTER SO I DON'T WANT MY CHARACTER TO BE
BAD.
I ALWAYS KIND OF KEPT IN CONTACT AND MUTUALLY SPLIT OR SOMETHING.
>> James: GOOD ANSWER.
GOOD ANSWER BUT HE DID DO THIS A LOT.
AND THAT MEANS IT'S A LIE OR THE TRUTH BUT QUITE ANNOYING.
DAN, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU GHOSTED SOMEONE?
>> OK, SO IT WAS ABOU ABOUT -- STRAIGHT INTO IT, ABOUT
A YEAR AND EIGHT MONTHS AGO.
IN MY DEFENSE, SHE BROUGHT UP HER EX AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES
IN THE SAME FIRST DATE.
