Problem: I might have been disturbed by his intense stare , but I had grown used to his silent perusal over the last years . After a long separation he would look at me like this - long and hard as if he needed to commit my face to memory once more . He would gaze at me unblinking , focusing on my left eye , my right eye , my nose , my cheeks , my lips . The list was virtually endless : During our last rendezvous he had even fixedly looked at my toes .

Why is the man so intense in his state to the narrator ?

A: The man is in love .

Problem: He does not like his roommates and without a single friend it is hard to go places and make new ones . Anyway he called me up last night to " see how everything is " with me and he asked me to see him on monday for dinner . Now I know for a fact if he had ANYONE else he would not contact me .

What was the reason I was not enthused about meeting with him ?

A: I felt that he was desperate for a companion .

Problem: A few hours later I got home , removed the paper and washed the piercings in a sea salt solution . I did that twice a day for the first month or so , and my nipples healed pretty quickly , causing me no problems . About 8 months after getting my nipples pierced I met my current boyfriend . He was taken with the piercings , and I enjoyed having them played with , but after a couple of months I noticed a problem with them ; the piercings were starting to migrate . Even worse they were becoming infected .

What would be the next logical thing to do ?

A:
Seek medical attention .
