I'm re-reading "Forced Feedings" (1979) by Maxine Herman:

In the blissfully self-sufficient circles in which I travel, knowing someone's last name or where he grew up, or getting a slight tinge of angst if you know he's been sleeping with another woman, or--and this is the sure-fire sign of the overly dependent personality--wanting to set up a specific time and place and date to meet again, to do this with conscious planning and IN ADVANCE, well, these we know are the machinations of someone who is out of control, perhaps in need of hospitalization.
