PratyekaYana Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 I have made it a priority to routinely submit to self-scrutiny the attitudes that I bring to the dating market. Accumulating baggage as a result of enduring interpersonal trials and romantic woes is inevitable, and I am simply doing my best to analyze the balance of positive to negative qualities that I embody as a potential mate. I've always believed that one of my aforementioned positives is my willingness to commit. Monogamy (even the lesser, serial variety) is of worth to me, and, should I find a woman that I fancy, I will not hesitate to offer her an exclusively intimate partnership. I will also dedicate myself to working through any hurdles that we come upon in our lives together; in short, I won't drop her at the first sign of trouble. I'll be an attentive and loving significant other, and I'll support her in the same way that I hope she would support me. The only thing that I will not submit to is marriage. I find it unnecessary as I don't want children, and I have to admit that the potential financial consequences are unpalatable. If for some reason my mate and I grow apart or find that we no longer wish to be a unit, I prefer (again, after investing a reasonable amount of time in trying to fix the issues between us) to part ways without the government interceding and levying penalties on either on of us. I'm told that my expressed ideal is not a true commitment and that I obviously fear such bonding. What do you guys think?
