OK, it’s not like I’m getting hot-headed or anything. This is what I want to say:
You want to protect yourself, it’s understandable. But once it’s time for you to let down your wall, then it’s THE time. And “He knows who he is”, he will let himself in, with your permission of course, and all you have to do is be yourself and expand your space.
Don’t expand your space to make room for someone else before you’ve found one. Look for permanent buyers, not renters.
And don’t settle for anything less. Know your worth.
