Final Resolution

Dear Joan,

One person is never going to be able fulfill every need or aspect in your life. That's why you have friends and/or family to fulfill those lacking areas in your life. You cannot expect one person to fulfill EVERY aspect or need that you have! If you do end up finding someone that fulfills your intellectual challenging aspect of your life... I'm sure that you will just find out that that person is pretentious, and will be eager to leave you at any moment for someone else that he seems fit.

Honestly, it just seems like you are trying to find any excuse to not be with me... You don't want to have to deal with being in a relationship because you think that it will just be a distraction from your main objectives/goals. Not to mention you probably feel that the grass is greener on the other side, so to speak, and that there is a whole WORLD of new opportunities. I also feel that you lack the "new fresh feelings" that you once possessed towards the beginning of our relationship, and that there is now an empty gap that has replaced those feelings. But honestly that is just what happens in any relationship! In a good relationship the beginning is so exciting and unbelievable, and eventually those feelings fade away because you slowly get used to them, and then you are left empty urning for something else to replace those feelings.

I am not prepared to settle with anyone...who only meets me half way there.
