What people are saying
You’re very hot and cold with me. For me, you’re either in or you’re out. Like this in between, I don’t understand; I can’t do it.
In Kargil, where there’s no signal, and there was a lot going on, after pack-up every single night he would call me, and we talked for 30 days straight. So, the official dating started when he was in Kargil.
I know that you’re the kind of person that if I commit to, then this will be something solid. And I’m just in a place in my life where I really need to focus on work, and I cannot allow anything else to get in the way.
