Too Long, Didn’t Listen (TLDL):

• Having friends of the opposite sex can indicate a person's ability to trust themselves around members of the opposite sex without sexualizing them.
• It is imperative to have open and honest discussions about boundaries and expectations in ALL relationships
• Someone's romantic feelings for you is none of your business. Once you have been explicit with your boundaries and desires, their feelings are theirs to figure out.
• Your partner will never meet all of your needs. They aren't supposed to.
• Don't miss out on really special, magical and aware people, who could teach you so many wonderful things and share such good times with you, simply because they have opposite sex organs than you.
• Questions to consider: 1) How would your life be different if you had friends of the opposite sex? What would open up for you? 2) Can you make/hold boundaries with yourself? 3) Can you make sure that when you say you don't want to be romantic with someone that your energy doesn't show something different?

• Take a moment, sit, and look at some of those categories then journal: What is success for me? What does success look like for me? What does success feel like?
