I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and then I have hung on to the relationship for a long time {sometimes far too long} waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.
