Dear "Single and Looking"... |
|
The more you want a partner, the more you must hide that.
The person who can more easily walk away from a relationship has the power in that relationship.
There is no "one".
Staying together is a choice; nothing more.
Keep your dignity.
Anoyone else?

1. Can't really argue with that... |
|
...except to point out that there's a lot to be said for simple honesty. Wearing one's heart on one's sleeve is a little risky, I guess, but I see nothing undignified in advertising general status.

Any woman who hides the fact that she's interested in me will never end up with me.
The rest of your post is fine.

5. So sorry. I meant interested in relationships in a generic sense. |
|
Yes, revealing one's attraction is, eventually, necessary.

6. The agreement sounds contingent. |
|
Are there aspects you do disagree with?

10. My dignity only comes into play after my confidence in the relationship is reinforced. |
|
Pretty obvious, now that I type it.
I think I understand and I agree. If I am giving advice to single people looking, though; I say caution first when it comes to dignity anyway.

9. There is no "one" -- THIS |
|
There are several "ones" for everybody, but not a "one". You may find YOUR one early on, but it does not mean it's the only one for you.
Amazing what you learn divorce.
