Yep, neither are worth my time. The one that sticks around would be though,
finding them is the trick. :-)

I have to tell of my experience. There was a guy who asked me out for about 3
years and I kept turning him down. I knew he was a heavy drinker at one time
and had quite a reputation. One day he confronted me asking why I wouldn't go
out with him. I told him the exact reason, emphasizing his drinking. He said he
wouldn't drink then. We went out off and on for over a year and the only time
he took a drink was when we went out for a nice dinner. I also had a glass of
wine. We remained friends for a long time after we quit going out. It just
wasn't meant to be, but it was fun while it lasted. Just goes to prove you
shouldn't judge someone on their past. I got treated like a queen by him.
