If you want to follow a line of inquiry to its proper conclusion, then you’ll need to change your premise because it’s blinding you to the obvious.
Playing fast and loose with commitments again? Don’t get in over your head. Have priorities in place at the outset and you won’t find yourself out of your depth.

You hear from someone out of the blue. This person bumped into a mutual acquaintance who was curious about you. It pays to be curious back.
