Quote of the Day

"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.

Ooooooooh, yeah. May I repost this quote (w/credit given, natch)?

There's a line in "The Opposite of Sex" that sums it up for me:

"When you enter a room, I should be the first person you look for."

That's it, EXACTLY.

What does it say about me that I see myself as an option in any relationship, while I always view my partner as a priority?

Love that!... I think I'm going to print it up and put it over my desk.

ima have to say this goes for friends as well.

I like to think of my relationships as "I don't need you in my life. I want you to share it with me."

So, I don't know where that falls into your optional vs. priority view. But I can agree with shirtlifterbear.

Definitely.

Love you, chica.
