From what I've learned about my preferences while having e-mail discussions, I think it sucks to hear regular people's thoughts about personal relationship topics! I never ask for it and a few have tried to impart their flawed wisdom on me. This is how Crazy Lee came barging into my life! It's a pet peeve of mine and something that I'm going to have to minimize experiencing by keeping my feelings to myself moving forward.
I don't see my future S.O. as a regular person but someone super special! I have been learning that being completely honest about it with others when I'm confronted has been working well for me on maintaining relationships.
