If nothing else, I've always been a sensitive kinda guy.
Eventually, though, I took her at her word and began distancing myself from our liaison. And, would you believe? ... she soon started complaining that we weren't seeing enough of one another.
"Well", I replied, "YOU told me you wanted more space!". "Yes," she retorted, "But there's 'space' ... and there's 'OUTER Space' ...!"
