I have a history 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 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.
