How vulnerable is your commitment?
You’ve never seen him before — the guy across the room smiling at you. And he’s hot, not because he has a chiseled jaw or even a full head of hair, but because he’s unabashedly looking at what he likes. You! Now what?
If you’re not in a relationship, you can’t wait to find out! If you are in a relationship, this is a test. How strong is your commitment, the thing that keeps you faithful?
You are likely to stay committed as long as you think you can get more of what you want where you are than you could get elsewhere; and you’re likely to break your commitment if you decide you can get more of what you want some place else.

You may be learning more than you think you are …
When we learn what doesn’t work in relationships, we also learn what does work. So, don’t be afraid to keep learning!… More
I love that this is true …
With every curve ball thrown at you, you have an opportunity to demonstrate what you’re made of, to practice what you believe. You don’t have to get to first base; you don’t even have to connect with the ball. You just have to take your best shot … and either stand there with dignity or run like hell.
