2. Rick


This is Rick. He works in finance, and you find it kind of attractive that when he tells that to you he doesn't act apologetic or shrug his shoulders. He buys you a drink without asking what you want, and when he smiles as he hands it over you forget that you don't even like gin. You go on six dates over four weeks before he brings you home, and you're both naked on the ugly black leather couch almost before the door is closed. You run into the bathroom afterwards and mass-text everyone you know, and then wonder if this makes you a bad person. It doesn't — he's doing it too. You break up when his fund sends him to China for a month and you, forgetting him in a drunken haze one night, make out with your ex. Funny, you always thought he'd be the one who couldn't commit.
