Pacing yourself
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My friend Laura is the Speedy Gonzales of romance — she falls in love, or “in like” very, very quickly. She is selective about who she dates, but by golly, she can tell within a New York minute of meeting someone whether she’s interested.
I, however, am more like the tortoise in Aesop’s Fable — slowly but steadily wading through my feelings until I figure out how I really feel about someone. Once I’ve realized I’m interested, I’m an incredibly passionate being, but I don’t throw that passion out there from the get-go.
Do you fall “in like” very quickly? If so, is your assessment of people usually accurate? Do you ever experience consequences from bestowing your feelings so readily upon people?
Or are you slower to determine your heart? Have you ever experienced downsides to taking so long to decide whether you’re into someone? Has anyone ever decided they’re not going to wait around for you to figure yourself out?
TGIF, everyone!
