*This* might seem like a contradiction to the OP - it's not. What is does is clarify the other side of the equation: one should try to be open to new relationships, but one must *also* be aware of the limits of one's time, energy, and spirit.
Life exists in finding that balance.

Be brave and be bold, but do so with empathy and an awareness of consent - and a mind open to the possibility that a 'failed romantic approach' doesn't need to cost the friendship as well.

The two primary components of any quality relationship are Time and Receptiveness/Willingness, and Capitalism has stolen the first from us, and our Fear of Being Truly Known has stolen the other.

Capitalism is a core component of this, but it's not the only component. As a society we've become increasingly isolated, even as technology gives us a veneer of 'connectedness' - we now 'know' more people than any time since school, yet the depth to which we know them is less than ever.

Ep. 107 with Day9 and Dr. Lupo is an episode I regularly share with those I'm hoping to convert to Commander - THIS is what playing Commander with your friends should feel like, to me. :-D
