I love their potential but analyze: am I dating who they could be? Map reality: person they are now vs. person I imagine vs. person they'll become. Calculate: actual behavior vs. hoped-for behavior vs. time spent waiting. Show me the potential trap: dating fantasy instead of reality. Give me the truth: I'm in love with potential, not person. Include: whether I'd date them if they never changed, if potential is real, and whether I'm deluding myself.
