oh, do i know...
and about knowing someone, yes, it's difficult. first of all, you have to know how you want to be perceived by someone else. time is relative. the necessary time for a person to know you depends on many variables: how much you disclose, how much you let them in, the barriers you set or not; the other person, his/hers intellect, if you're on the same wave lenght... i've had very close people in my life, like an ex boyfriend with whom i've spent 4 years of my life, who didn't get the half of me. we weren't compatible. on the other hand, i've clicked with others in just a few weeks, my behaviour being the same each time.
