Nice Guys Don’t Always Finish Last

Andy is a nice guy – a really nice guy. During the first few weeks of my relationship with Andy, I had totally conflicting feelings about him. In person, he came across as shy and unconfident. But, over the phone, he was energetic and a great conversationalist. I was so afraid I was going to have to stop seeing Andy because of the way he came across in person. I talked things over with my sister and she said that I was probably going to have to end the relationship. But, I was too much of a wuss and I couldn’t bear to hurt this shy guy that I had just met. I decided to give him another chance, figuring that he was probably just inexperienced with women since the last time he had a girlfriend was 10 years earlier (at age 16). Andy called me every night. His persistence and his adorable personality (which took a few weeks to be unveiled) won me over.
