A Pledge of (My Own) Sanity

I hereby solemnly affirm that I will not fall head over heels into any sort of irrational, improbable infatuations, unless I detect any reasonably obvious reciprocation from the other party (this is in general, not pertaining to any particular person or persons). Perhaps I am, at heart, an idealist. Not to the extent of relying on love at first sight, but my ideal situation is that of mutual affection, rather than one person doing all the 'work'. Sure, I understand that courtship implies initiative on the guy's part, but at the same time I don't believe in chasing dead ends or lost causes. Whatever happens, happens; whatever does not happens, does not. Que sera sera. What will be, will be. 顺其自然.
