Here is the thing about changing your mind. You might change your mind. Its possible right? It may not be likely, you may not see how you could change your mind, but it is possible. The point is that its not relevant at all. What I would say is "You are right I might change my mind, but I might not. You are wrong that everyone does. Some people don't and I may be one of those people. You don't get to change my mind for me. I am the one who gets to change my mind. If you are so convinced that I will change my mind then you should wait patently until I do and then you can set me up with someone. You will be the first person I tell when I change my mind if you agree to leave me alone till then. Do we have a deal?"
