Mutual is a good thing, but how bout if something else comes along with a more positive mutual affection and security?
STABILITY. Indecisiveness causes instability. And instability causes problems. If you don’t know what you want… It’s most likely that the other person doesn’t know either. Two people who are not ready, decisive, or sure, will never make the situation any more ready than it was ever unready. (Two wrongs don’t make a right, two agreeing dumbos don’t make them smart,) and in correlation to this topic, two fearful fuckers don’t make them any more brave.
Sometimes you just really have to show someone how you feel and tell them to make sure they know exactly what it is that you’re trying to show. Most of the time what someone says and show are two different things. Sometimes a person fails to convey one than the other.
Word of advice: show and tell people how you feel. Of course you have to be sure and ready, but don’t take too long, because confusion and not being ready make people unstready… And unsteady people tend to leave, especially if they’re both unsteady or both unready. If you don’t do it when you have the opportunity, someone else might beat you to it and claim a hold on it.
