- If he knew my secrets, he would find me too complex.
So I tell him some secrets, and he keeps calling, keeps finding me attractive, keeps asking me out.
- If only one person is interested, that means I'm settling for the only thing I'm being offered.
I’m only interested in one person.
- Similar
education, politics, and religion are indicators of compatibility.
(Extra bonus example of fallaciousness: Whether these things are similar
or different is unknown.)
We
do have more similarities here, but also a lot of divergence. And maybe
I can watch a football game once in a while, provided sufficient
incentive.
- Once something is started, it can't be stopped without bitterness apparent for all to see.
Well. It could be a little awkward, but I haven’t seen him much at the studio since I haven’t really been there as much myself.
- Having a large group of strange-quaintances know about my personal life is bad.
I
was excited to show him off to that group! I even rather wondered why
the professor didn’t ask a dozen nosy questions, until I realized he was
respecting the fact that I told him, years ago, that I’m a private
person. Maybe I’m not as private as I thought. Maybe I want to show off a bit.
- My friends will think he's not good enough.
Maybe
they would pick or look for warning signs, but doesn’t that say more
about them than me? So maybe a little coyness is good until they see
that I’m happy.
- He won't be able to relate to my friends.
Oh, but he will.
- He won't be able to relate to me.
Oh, but he does.
- Letting someone care gives him the power to destroy me.
I am strong.
