"...of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and then I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism."
I did not write this, but I very well could have.
After my break up this time, a friend jokingly asked, "What did you do wrong this time?" My answer was "I chose to date the wrong guy. Again." But what I really should have said... what is very often the case, in fact... is that "I have been a victim of my own optimism."
(Please note the past tense there.)
It can and did happen! Tell-all blog about dating ... well, tell-most ... tell-some ... regardless, it's TMI.
