The protagonist prefers the predictability of facts over the uncertainties of emotions, expressing a deep-seated fear of rejection and disappointment. She meticulously avoids dating scenarios, worried about the myriad ways a prospective partner could fail her expectations or, conversely, exceed them. Her trepidation extends to both superficial quirks and profound connections, creating a barrier against potential heartbreak.
