Dear Ermoose:
It's hard to tell whether or not you've had the despotic joy of waking up with somebody who rolls over and checks out what's new going on on Match. You know, somebody who's better looking, smarter, taller, younger, sexier, and promises a better and more stable future. So, sure, I get your urge to end this whole thing. But, it's not so easy, is it? After all, if you do meet somebody, it's a bit forceful for either to insist that the other quit Match, isn't it? There's virtually no history behind the two of them; so, the idea of deleting Match is akin to forcing someone to quit a magazine subscription you yourself don't approve of--which is problematic if you've just met. It's tyrannical, though the origin of the notion to do so may be both good and totally understandable.
Being what you describe as "mentally ready to commit," is the easy part. That's merely intellectual. As a former ski racer, you can see the course, you know the line, etc. That's the easy part. Committing yourself to that is the other part, and how able anybody is able to run that course is in nobody's control. The secret of course is to let go. The only way to get anywhere is to let go of these and other controls; that is, as you describe yourself, what being "open-minded and easy going" are.
