Greg, I Get It! by Georgia, Age 33
格雷格，我做到了！乔治娅，33岁。
I went out with this guy who really was not nice to my friends.
我和一个对我朋友不友善的家伙约会了。
He would barely smile or make eye contact with them when he'd meet them.
当他见到我的朋友们时，他很少微笑或者和他们眼神示意。
And if he got into a conversation with them, he wouldn't ask them any questions about themselves.
即使他和我朋友们聊起来了，他也不会问关于他们的任何问题。
Sometimes when they would be talking to him, he would turn away from them mid-sentence.
有时候当我的朋友想和他说话时，话到一半，他会逃避话题。
He wouldn't say he didn't like them, bu that's just the way he was.
他没有说他不喜欢她们，但是他的行为就是不喜欢。
Okay, so I'll admit it. I didn't break up with him over it.
好吧，我承认。我没有因为这个和他分手。
He end up dumping me.
最后却甩了我。
But now looking back, I'm glad I'm not with someone like that.
但是，如今再回首，我很高兴我没有和这样的人在一起。
I want to be with someone who is charming and loves my friends.
我想和招人喜欢以及爱我朋友们的人在一起。
I want to someday go out with someone who my friends meet and call me the next day and say "Oh my God, he's great!"
我希望有一天能和这样的人出去：我朋友见到他后，第二天会说：“啊，我的天呐，他太棒了！”
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME
如果你不想相信格雷格
A guy friend of mine refuses to break up with a woman he's engaged to because he's scared. (Yes, we're a classy species. )
我的一个男性朋友拒绝和他约会的女人分手，因为他害怕。（没错，我们是上等物种。）
When I beg the guy to pull the plug, he always says the same thing: "Greg, I'm waiting for the big fight. I'm just waiting for the big fight."
当我求这个家伙结束这段关系时，他总是说同一句话：“格雷格，我在等着大吵一架。我仅仅是在等大吵一架。”
In the meantime he picks on, bickers with, needles his fiancee, just so he can have the "big fight" and get over with.
在此期间，他嘲笑他未婚妻，和她小吵，激怒她，这样他就可以大吵一架，结束这段关系。
It's not pretty, but I hope it scares you just a bit.
不是什么好事，但我希望能稍微的吓吓你。
100% of the guys polled said they have never tried to torture or humiliate a girl they were really into.
据调查，100%的男士说他们从来不会折磨或者羞辱他们真正喜欢的人。
Well, that's a start.
嗯，这是一个起点。
