I made plenty of bad decisions on my own. Was I really going to let a guy who won me in a charity auction pawn me off on his brother? Chalk it up to another bad decision, but my answer was yes. In the process, I needed to protect myself from another tourist having fun with the locals.

Impulsivity had led me to some good decisions, and some not so good ones. In light of nearly screwing up our last business deal, my older brother cautioned me to slow down and take the current deal more seriously. That included using restraint with women. And then I met Amy. She challenged my ability to use restraint, and she might be the one to break my record of loving and leaving.
