My friend and I met a few years ago and there was a slight attraction on my part, mainly because of his personality - he is a beautiful person inside. However, after confessing his love for me, I found it both repulsive and flattering that he would bend over backwards to please me. On the one hand, I wanted someone with a backbone, but on the other hand, I was quite pleased to see a man allow himself to be this vulnerable for ME! The fact that I'm still single implies that a man with a backbone appeals more to me than a man's sensitivity, not that sensitvity isn't important.<br/>However, currently, I find myself in a situation on the other end of the spectrum. There's a certain young man that I'm really into and I'd like to think he's really into me well. The only problem is that I only get him in small doses, when in fact I'd like more of him. I'd love for a doctor to recommend that we both increase the doses of each other or even make it mandatory, but I doubt that will happen. He wants me to be patient, but patience is not one of my stronger virtues. What's a girl to do? <br/>In answer to your question, however, I wouldn't "tolerate" someone I couldn't stand for longer than 5 minutes simply because I have no patience for it and I don't think you should either. You can't change her and you "tolerating" her sounds like you're hoping you can eventually change her or that you'll eventually be able to tolerate her - don't hold your breath. I don't believe in using innocent people either, mainly because I know firsthand that karma's a bitch. I can definitely relate because I also have a friend who I can only tolerate in limited doses.
