Wow. I love your response. "Relationships are cultivated. Start with quality stock and then grow the relationship you want to have." That's beautiful.
I will say that many of the first dates I went on I wanted to see again because it takes time for me to get to know someone. But many weren't interested in meeting again. It seemed like many made a decision about me within a very short period of time. This was sometimes frustrasting, then I began to think if they aren't willing to really get to know me then they aren't the one for me.
I do believe--as you say-- that love can grow and that people can become more attractive as you get to know them. Thank you so much for your message, M Harvey.
