- I think there are different levels of seriousness a relationship
- can go through. One is, "You are more important to me
- than other people in my life." Another is, "I want to share
- pleasure and joy with you." Another one is, "I anticipate a future
- with you. Another is, "I want to share my life with you." Those
- don't necessarily involve physical proximity or sharing space, but
- do involve in the later stages sharing something - some kind of
- bond which says that this person will be there for you even when.
