Pink Bucket?

Being single has rewards. The freedom of being able to make decisions that are based on you and you alone is one that some people in relationships envy. The flip side of that is, obviously that you only have yourself to think about, and crave the 'partnership' of a relationship.

Talking to other single friends we all agree that when you have been single a while and have interviewed a fair amount of people, you build walls. To protect yourself from being hurt. (And when you live alone you are always right (hmmmm maybe thats just me!!)) so compromise is difficult.
When you meet someone that passes the interviewing process with flying colours, the walls issue raises it ugly head....should you let them down and risk being hurt? or keep them there, just in case the person concerned passed the interview by being the person you want them to be, not by being the person they actually are, and therefore not being worth the whole sledgehammer and Bob The Builder hat.

I want the promised Pink Bucket. But have problems with walls and running away when I get too close to people, and trusting my own judgement about people, let alone trusting the person concerned.

Time will tell I guess. Alot of time. (Re-reading this, I think I need the people in the white uniforms and the rooms with the bouncy walls, not a Pink Bucket!) I hope that it doesnt take too long, or the candidate concerned might not be there when I stop running.
