I am a dog lover seeking a dog lover

I was catching up with a friend today. He's suffering from depression. He said he finds that he has no friends, and that some friend is in his life because he spends money on them.. Mmmm, I was sad to hear that.

I was actually thinking about the amount of giving and how it affects relationships. When I am in a relationship, I give 100% emotionally. When that happens, I tend to give a lot to my partner. One of my ex-partners actually told me that I shouldn't be so "easy", that I should hold back a little so I will be more precious. I actually shared this with my best friend at work and she said that's what the Korean dramas taught her too! *rolls eyes*. In that Korean drama, this guy popular with many ladies told this other lady (who prefers to give and not receive) that guys like to need to pursue. If a lady gives so easily, then there won't be the challenge to need to pursue anymore. Personally,I think this thinking is kinda warped.

But it's sad, because I do realise that giving too much cause people to take you for granted. When things come too easily, they tend not to be significant. Sometimes, I do think this way because of what my ex-partner said to me: if I had not given so much and loved so much, would people still be attracted to me? If I were passive, will they still be interested in me? I don't think I ever want to need to find out this way.

I like to be loved with the intensity of how a dog loves its owner. I prefer a dog lover anytime.
