I think like you do too. The reason that you prevent yourself from getting emotionally attached is probably because you deny happiness to yourself. It is equivalent to telling yourself that you will be happy if you get this, get that, achieve this etc, whereas the right way you can be happy is being happy in the current situation and then working towards better things if needed. Ask yourself if you really truly believe that getting emotionally attached will prevent you from getting a better partner in your life.. The answer would be no. Actually it would in fact help you in finding a more suitable partner (because if you prevent yourself from getting emotionally attached to the current partner and wait till the best comes along, you will never have the courage to leave this for a better one either.. you will always keep thinking if you haven't given your best to make this relationship work). So give in, get emotionally attached, give it a full and sincere shot and after that if it doesn't work, you will atleast know that this relationship is truly not for you.
Btw, I love your posts a lot, because I feel you are a lot like me in many ways.
Makes sense?
