But don't you want to read about my douchey alma mater??!On a rainy morning at the University of Delaware, the young women who live in an off-campus house are gathering on their front porch for coffee.
...no comment. But I do have a thought and question and this ties into kleinbl00's comment. How much of this do you think is driven by a fear of feeling like a person hasn't attained the absolute best partner? Or, more plainly, a fear of feeling like you have settled? If we're all striving for something, running, what's to convince someone to stop and say "yes, this is worth the chance" when there are so many possibilities.
It's driven by status. Pure, naked status. The minute people pursue their own best interests they seek happiness. When they're pursing their best outward outcomes, they constantly trade up. "A man tells the world who he is four ways: his house, his wife, his car, his shoes." - Warren Adler, War of the Roses
Is it possible that both of those fears are really manifestations of insecurity and so as a result possible to say that what makes a person able to stop running is confidence? Edit: I will now add to this by saying I am watching the series Gilmore Girls for the first time in my life, and in today's episode Rory and Lorelei are playing "one, two, three or pass." If I understood it right, the game is that the next three people who pass that would be attractive to you, you must decide immediately : yes, 'marry' that one or no, pass, believing the next one will be better. However you are limited to the first 3 passers-by so your choices are limited and if you pass the first two you are stuck with whoever the third is. It was too relevant not to mention although I suspect it adds very little insight.
