Don't be afraid to lose him, because if a man truly loves you, he's not going anywhere

All I'm telling you to do is to be smart about it.

You could be the most perfect woman on the Lord's green earth-you're capable of interesting conversation, you cook a mean breakfast, you hand out backrubs like sandwiches, you're independent (which means, to him, that you're not going to be in his pockets)-but if he's not ready for a serious relationship, he going to treat you like sports fish.
