“saved me a ton of money”

I was a bachelor living like an overgrown college student when I met Christine about 14 years ago. She had the guts to be honest enough to tell me that I was living like a slob as a single professional guy, and that I deserved better. How could I find a date when I used a bed sheet for a living room curtain that hung on paper clips?
