They Call 'it' Committment

"I'm aware of what polygamy is, I have no issues with it myself, but I am more of a monogamy kind of person honestly." This was at heart who was, he liked the idea of being in a relationship with a single person and committing to them.

"Interesting, well, it can be just about anything I suppose. I'm an open minded person, but there is this ground rule I want to establish now. If I find someone I have feelings for and have a connection with, what we have is going to be ended. At least the sex and stuff, we could be friends because you seem cool, for a felon that is." This was important to him, he wanted a relationship but this girl didn't seem like the one who would be giving it to him.

He'd raise an eyebrow at her tone, maybe there was more to her than just what he had seen so far, maybe he'd struck a nerve, maybe she had actually feelings for him.

"Why sound so surprised? I like relationships where it's just the two of you, call me a romantic or old fashioned but my heart wouldn't be able to handle getting emotionally invested with someone and allow them to date and go around with other people." There was a hint of pain his words, he had bad memories of love, people had used him and thrown him away before, he tried to not dwell on those. He'd look away from her, his chest was aching but he was sure that he didn't have the means to hide it from his face.

Then he'd jerk forward, looking wildly outside as a rabbit was hopping across the road. "Ah, no need I understand. I'd probably do the same."

"And that's okay, that's how some people are, and I accept that and if that makes you happy, then enjoy it as much as you can." This was his genuine opinion, he wanted people to be happy with whatever they did and however they were.

"I'm sorry I don't see it your way though. If you can't stand my rule then we can absolve the whole idea of being lovers if you'd prefer." He was true to who he was, trying to be considerate of how she felt, even if she didn't outwardly show her inner emotions. But he had to be true to himself and that rule was staying if he were to stay.

"If you say so Eli." He'd give her one more worried glance before dropping the subject entirely. He hated to hurt people, but some things were unpreventable it seemed.

He'd bob his head to the beat of the song before looking out the window. He'd turn the music down a bit, "Where are you taking me by the way?"

It totally slipped his mind as well, "Well, I live at the college dorms currently on campus." He'd laugh, scratching the back of his head.
