"Life's like a movie, write your own ending.
Keep believing, keep pretending..."

It was that silent moment, before the next meeting
He began to ponder...
if any of the women he loved or dated
were actually ever truly interested or cared for him

His exes' words haunted him...

Users:
People use each other in many different ways
ways he had never even thought of
he had learned quickly, though...

Money:
quite obvious, really
many times encountered
easily recognizable
watch for the warning signs
they're easy to spot

certain suggestions
certain activities
certain proclivities
certain questions

Like the famous 10 he had grew to knew...

Sex:
Women often complain of this, but the truth is
its a two gender, 2 way, 2 lane
Highway

Emotional:
He was a charmer, he knew just what to say
to make someone feel good about themselves
to smile, like an actor in a play

He was a photographer
in essence
He knew how to make a woman feel beautiful

Language:
Shocking, but true
a caring student warned him
as a language teacher, being paid for conversation
you can get used

Entertainment:
He was a writer, had and held an interesting life
interesting adventures, amazing, unbelievable stories
in search for a soul-mate
a friend, a lover,
a match, a wife.

He was a car salesman
for a time...
Ah, "tak", so, its true
in yourself
and in life

So there is the rub:

to be a truly good salesman
you must believe what you say
the product you sell, you love
is the best in everything
in all that you do
and in every single way

And so he did and does...
if the heart isn't in it
there can be no such thing as...
Love
