I heard somewhere (or maybe I read it) a long time ago that you fall for someone because of the way you feel when you're with them - not necessarily just the way you feel about them. I think there is a lot of wisdom in that.
When I'm with someone who doesn't really make me feel good about myself, it's hard to maintain interest or desire. We all want to be loved and cherished and adored a little bit, right? So when we do that for someone else, and it feels as though it's either not noticed, or not reciprocated, or both, we start to wonder if it's worth pursuing any longer. And the older I get, the less willing I am to give myself away for nothing or close to it.
It's a real shame, because sometimes two people are a great fit, but somehow one or both just do not know how to make the other feel significant.
Dunno...can't figure it all out tonight, I guess.
