From the "venerated" New York Times, a blast from the past : Fear of Committing?.

ON the diving board of dashed hopes and denial paces an unhappy figure: the would-be buyer who shops for years but resists taking the plunge.

Like timid bathers, some just need time to acclimate to the chilly reality of what their money can't buy. That process can take some time. Eventually, though, after long and careful looking, they do take the leap.

But others never do. They focus on flaws and high prices as a way of rationalizing an underlying inability to commit to real estate.

"The head ruled every decision and didn't give way to the heart, so they never fell in love with anything," Mr. Prince said. "It was always too much of a cold decision to make."

A fear of unsound investments, when it gums up the gears of decision-making, can obscure unmet needs.

Such thinking, if prolonged and paired with the inability to make a decision one way or the other, can signal what's known as an obsessional personality. Obsessives, Dr. Maloney explained, adeptly bury their feelings beneath an avalanche of thoughts.

Yep, you shouldn't "think" before making a deal worth $500,000 or more. You should go with your "feelings" particularly if thinking "obscures unmet needs."

Pimp it, bitch, pimp it! The internet is going to put a stake in the heart of your last remaining revenue source.
