The narrator continues to ruminate on the events of the night. He realizes that he has spent a lot of time at the ladies' night outs, and he wonders if the men are just teasing the older women, or if they are just trying to get ahead in their careers. He wonders if he has given in to temptation, and if he drank too much last night to make himself feel better. He muses on the lyrics of the song "I'd Rather Nothing Happen Than End Up Like That" , which he has been listening to all day. The narrator says that for the last few years, he has "been nothing to move his heart" . He thinks that maybe he has finally reached the age of consent, and that maybe the man is getting ready to have sex with another woman. He says that he wishes nothing could happen like that, because he wants nothing to happen to his feelings
