This is the point that I once missed from the person I liked. Of course, I’m aware that sharing each other’s world in a relationship is not a thing to bargain for. It has to be. I lied to myself that maybe he’s not ready yet to share too much, maybe he’s not open to new people he knows, maybe there’s something he’s still shy about to share with me.

Only to find out that at the same time, he’s dating another guy in a relatively short time after they first texted each other. That this new guy (who happened to be one of my friends) already knows many things about him that I wasn’t being shared with. So that’s when I realized “letting someone in” to your life has almost nothing to do with personality, if they really want you in your life.
