text: bad idea to date a cop? i met a cop through a good friend. although he seems really great, i'm not sure if i should let myself like him too much. i hear it always ends up in heartache. doesn't matter at all what he does it's who he is that is important (which is more that a job) so what you might get hurt? so might he! you'll pick yourself up and dust yourself off. life is an adventure, not something you tiptoe through, worrying about what 'might' happen
