Here are some questions that can help guide the decision-making process. Do I enjoy giving to this person? Do I want to know this person better? Does this person appear to make desirable offerings to me? Is this person curious about me? Do we seem to have a strong level of compatibility? Do I have the time and energy to build a committed intimacy with this person? Do I want to explore something more episodic with this person? --If these questions raise some level of longing for you, then you may be ready to explore a more committedly intimate connection. Even if they raise fear, you may identify a developmental edge waiting for you.
