I’m guessing his appetizer was whirled peas.

I’m guessing she doesn’t want anything to do with intimacy.

I’m guessing Mark wouldn’t have her slide under the table for some risky if caught public intimacy. Ya go to Chickweed for that.

Minimalism is overrated.

wrong word… ‘NO’ AND ‘know’.

Ninety million words in our language; there’s bound to be a few homonyms.

Did a silent K silence Kaye?

Darn HOMOPHONES!

Know way out.

She bolted through the locked door.

She should’ve read his speech bubble for clarity…

OUCH.

She doesn’t have an inquiring mind and didn’t bother to ask why…

“To” know intimacy, or just “intimacy.” He set himself up here.

Pair bonding is overrated.

But it’s sanctioned by most religions, so it persists.

Most couples (whatever gender preference) participate in serial monogamy: marry – divorce – marry. Or just ‘shack up.’

Most cheat. If it’s inevitable, accept it.

Jealousy is a character flaw.

Ideal: allow your partner to be happy.

The alternatives? Polyamory – polyfidelity – open marriage.

Most couples don’t stop loving; they just want variety.

“To know intimacy”, To find intimacy" but alas a man of few words must reap what he sows.
