"Don't make someone a priority if they only make you an option."
This is a well-phrased encapsulation of the main reason I don't date much. I don't mind being an option as long as I know that's where I stand; but when I'm dating someone, they're my priority, and that needs to be reciprocal.

The quote is more about how your partner views you, rather than simply how you view yourself. If you see yourself as an option and your partner as a priority, but they still see you as a priority even though you may not consider yourself to be such, that's one thing. If on the other hand they see you as an option and you see them as a priority, that's a major disconnect that doesn't bode well for the relationship - and which I think has often been your problem (and mine) in the past.
