I dislike explaining something I’ve written. But, in this case, perhaps I should be clear. 

Take a chance is about actually taking the chance, not about holding oneself apart. I’d rather take the full step is what it means. To have both fully embrace the possibility than to take some half measure or play some game. That means meeting in the first month. That means solid plans for what comes next. I’m a solid advocate for love. Just that if one falls, hopefully the fall is mutual and complete.
