I swear I am not hard hearted. But I really think that being up-front and honest and strong in your opinions is very important. 

38. When did you immediately click with someone you just met? Why? What was the long term result? Conversely, are you close with anyone now that you really disliked at first? I clicked immediately with my ex-boyfriend because we were very alike in a lot of ways. The long term result is that now, in the kindest way I can say this, I want nothing to do with his life, and likewise for him I think. I wish him the best, but hope to never have to hear from him again. I honestly didn't really like my best friend, Katie, when I first met her, but now obviously I do haha.
