serene56: anyone exists out there for you? Are you looking for your "soulmate" or are you happy just living your life as it is?
I think there is more than one 'ideal partner'. I don't believe that I won't be happy until I am with some un-known, but specific individual, my happiness is up to me to create.
Whether a relationship works or not -IMO- isn't just about being 'perfect' for each other, it's also about knowing when to compromise and when not to, when to give and when to take. I don't believe in 'perfect relationships' because none of us is perfect so how can our relationships be? No matter how much you love someone a relationship is at times hard work for BOTH parties.
Sure would be nice to find or be found by one of those 'ideal' blokes tho
