This is not true. I’ve been there. I’ve said that to a guy I really, really wanted to be with. I just couldn’t be very emotionally vulnerable at that time with anyone.

The truth is if I’d liked him less, I wouldn’t have been so scared. I could have handled being with someone I didn’t really care about, but I couldn’t handle being with him.

It makes me sad to think he could have taken anything I said as a negative reflection on him. If I ever end up with someone like him, I will be so grateful. I just didn’t think I could be good enough for him at that time.
