Here's a different situation ....
I said no, no, no for weeks/months!!!
ME ... who fairly
worships at the itty bitty paws of Toto?!? I am at her beck & call 24/7! Nope! Didn't want a dog of any breed .... nothing with any sort of "need". Wasn't gonna have it, end of discussion! Patrick is
relentless ... if I ever kill him, his being so relentless will be my excuse!
He finally sucked me into at least looking at pictures of them online and that's all he needed ..... the search was on! Really long story short .... several months later I found myself looking into a tiny little face that still brings tears to my eyes, she was soooo beautiful and had the most curious, intelligent look in those little black button eyes I really thought I was having a vision. Nothing could be that sweet and certainly nothing could make me feel like I would absolutely die if I couldn't have it!
Next thing I knew .... we're driving along in my convertible and I'm laughing and telling Patrick .... "look, she pee peed on my lap and the seat is just soaked, isn't that the cutest thing?" Yep! She trapped us both and she is our absolute joy!
So .... my advice would be .... be
relentless and hold out for what you want!! It worked on me!!
And, most importantly, we were in total agreement when we bought Toto.
