so, anyone out there ever come to a balance about how much you initiate interactions with someone you're interested in or dating versus how much you sit around and fret? bonus points for answers that talk about needing interaction to feel valued, and double bonus points for answers that address having been told by a partner that you need too much interaction and that you should go find someone else to give it to you.

(the dogs think i need a perfectly fine amount of interaction. the dogs wish i didn't have to go to work and leeeeeave them all alone.)
