I have two dads, and they are polar opposite when it comes to character.
I recently met someone very like one of my fathers. In my human behavior studies, I learned that we are attracted to what is "familiar." Meaning we are drawn to those with characteristics similar to the ones we saw growing up. Funny thing is I was actually not one bit interested in talking to someone who like my dad chooses to be what they each called "emotionally independent." In efforts of not being "vulnerable" these men will guard their feelings, and walk away from someone who they like a little too much to avoid getting hurt. They don't depend on anyone, and will not allow you to depend on them. This is smart, convenient, and pain-free.
I thank my dad for allowing me to see this behavior up close and personal. I respect his decision, but even though I tried this for a little while I choose to not fallow on these specific footsteps anylonger.
I don't want to die without experiencing true love. I will love hard or not at all. I will be everything to someone, and somone will be my everything.
"Emotional independence" is for me a cowardly way of living life, de aqui en adelante sin preservativas.
When it comes to love and realationships, what is your biggest deal breaker?
