I learned #5 the hard way recently, and very much relate to the part about feeling naïve in between loves. Beautiful piece Kristin.

I didn't really learn number 5 until my last relationship. Probably the hardest one for me.

A great list. I'll try to keep them in mind when I decide to date again.

I'll add one, too. It's sort of implied in your musings already: compatible boundaries are a must.

The photo of the hallway sings to me!

I'm sorry for my late reply, Greg! I forgot that I hadn't. But thank you for reading and commenting. Compatible boundaries —> I never thought of that before! Brilliant and important, yes.
