Discrepancy

[mlerules]

'Tween what I'm feeling (or not) and...what? Should be feeling? Would like to be feeling? Seems like I'd like to make more of an emotional investment, but find myself reluctant to do so...'cause the ROI's not clear 'nuff. Finding myself less likely to Fall In Love (or whatever) recently and more likely to think 'bout things first. (Looking Before Leaping.) Not positive I like the shift. Feels like some magic's gone, replaced by sensibleness. Or something.

Plans fall through. Connections not being reinforced or strengthened. So be it. How hard/much should I try? What is the ROI? What's my goal? What's it look/feel/act like (IT = desired/ideal/sufficient structure/framework/r-ship)? WhatEVER...

ROIs are tough to plan for in relationships. You hope you get some good investment info upfront but sometimes the depreciation outstrips the cost and you end up with a loss.

Then again . . .


Not really knowing is part of that joy, that thrill, of a new relationship. Perhaps we as a species are too focused there. I know I am.

Thx for your input. Yeah, I'm looking into the investment info up front...or perhaps a bit after the fact...and it's not looking as promising as it had at the very very beginning. Thrill = good. But not knowing whassup and wondering and perhaps even worrying a bit ain't so hot when the limitations are so clear up front.
