I would prefer to choose someone who loves me because, in my view, I am confident that I have the capacity to learn to love other people as well. While this perspective might not be universal, I believe that for the person I love, my affection remains steadfast, unconditionally, irrespective of whether that love is reciprocated. Waiting for uncertain reciprocation doesn't align with my sense of self-worth. Therefore, practically speaking, I would opt for the person who loves me. This choice offers the certainty that they genuinely appreciate and respect me, forming a more stable foundation for a healthy relationship. This perspective may sound easier said than done for many, but it aligns with my understanding of building a fulfilling and sustainable partnership. - Naomi
