I can't seem to stop reminding myself this everytime I am on the verge of entering a relationship. I did this the last time when I was thinking about getting together with the ex. And now, I thought about it again while thinking about how things will turn out for me and this new him.

'Friendships are different from relationships. With a lover, you make demands and have expectations. But with a friend, you're cool. You don't really owe him anything, or have to explain much, because, ultimately, you demand nothing more from each other other than pleasant company and an occasional listening ear.'

I'm just a coward maybe.
Cos I know if I were to get into a relationship now, I'm sure to be putting in so much effort into it. 我会很投入. And I fear the heartbreaks that will follow if it doesn't work out.
I hate to make demands also. I hate to be always expecting something from someone. And I'm pretty sure, In a relationship, this expectation intensifies over time. And when it's not met, disappointment follows.

I'm not too sure what's keeping me. What's keeping me from getting on board to a new romance.

Give me a little more time. And we'll see how it goes alright? No more impulsive decisions this time round.
