So no, you cannot put a relationship on "reserve." See here is something I've observed about men, women, and relationships. For all practical purposes, women want to get married or commit when they meet a man and fall in love. Men, on the other hand, are confined by societal pressure to be providers, and as a result, oftentimes absolutely will not get married or commit until they feel they have everything else in their lives in order first. In an ideal world maybe it would make sense to put your dream girl on the reserved books shelf until you finish reading all those other books you took out (you know, the overdue ones with all the late fees... yeah, those books). But this is reality and nobody is getting any younger here... Jagged Edge, anyone?
Nobody wants to be that book on reserve, laying around, getting all dusty while all the other books are getting their pages turned... So here's something for everyone to think about. How about, instead of impulsively getting into relationships, we take some time to date ourselves first, get to know what it is we really want out of life, so when Girl X or Boy Y come along, we're already at a place where can say "Yes, please!" or "No, thank you!" ---before we get past Chapter 1 and decide the book is REAL interesting but we already have too many books to finish before we can give our full attention. So try that first before jumping in.
