My decision doesn't have anything to do with the woman I've met. As far as that's concerned I don't even know if any things likely to happen.
While they may not be directly correlated, they are certainly connected. Someone being interested in you is enough at the start.

Can't or won't?

I totally agree with this first piece, and I'm glad you see the second. I just don't think you've seen the 2nd part very long, and to me, I think some clarity comes after sitting in that space for a time.

There are certainly some parts you should be done with, some things you need to be done with to grow....are you taking the time to see which things that is? Or are you just throwing them all in one big bucket and sending them away?
