*deep breath* I'm not talking about the shotgun approach, or someone who grasps desperately to find someone. I'm pretty sure, knowing who I am, that I am not the first person who has said yes to them. And that, given their own experiences meeting people and finding out what they want, that after all that they choose to be with me - that makes me feel quite special. Chosen, even. Please re-read the last line of my previous post:
Quote:
I have no issue being involved in a relationship with someone who would have asked a few people out each month prior to joining a committed relationship.
I'm not going to be interested or accepting of someone who behaves as my friends have, trying to get the phone number of every woman in the place while setting up their calendar. That's not me. But I'm also not interested, at this point at least, in being the first person someone asks. They have no clue what they want, other than the fantasy... and the two are rarely the same thing.
You feel lessened, I feel chosen. It is a difference in perspective.
