Still waiting?
Are you still waiting for that elusive perfect partner? Well, I have news for you. He or she may never come. It is pretentious to believe that somewhere and somehow somebody out there was made just for you and all your whims and desires. And if there is somebody like that, the chances of the two of you meeting, are negligibly small.By placing yourself on a pedestal, believing that you deserve only the best is folly and may leave you on your own forever plus another few days. Chances are that if you can locate that perfect partner, he or she may not see you as perfect at all.
Let’s face; it we are mass-produced; each one unique and yet all stereotyped. We are born the same. It is the events during our lives, and how we cope with it, that define us for what we are. The random factor is far too great to calculate the outcome. People change and adjust according to what life throws at them. What is perfect now may not be so in the future. The opposite is also true.
You have to make compromises. Compromising does not mean that you have to surrender. It merely entails a strategic reevaluation and restructuring of your goals. There is no need to lower your standards and there is nothing that a coat of paint cannot fix, providing that the superstructure is sound. And be prepared to receive a bit of painting as well. You’re not perfect either.
It is not all about finding the perfect partner; it is also about being the perfect partner. It takes two to tango and a chain is only as strong as the weakest link.
Have a marvelous weekend. It may just happen this weekend.

I wonder if you can tell a person not to be so picky if they do not think they are being picky?
Somehow I knew it.
My bed and an old Frederick Forsyth novel is much more entertaining on a cold winter night.
OK, you are pretentious.
(only agreeing with you - I'm not in the mood to argue)
If you were a perfect Scandinavian goddess with eternal youth, you may have had the pick of the crop and may have gotten yourself a Greek god. As it is, you are a mortal plain Jane like everybody else, and will have to settle for a mortal plain Jim like the rest of us. Sorry to pop your bubble.
But how are you otherwise? It'd been so very long since you last
defileddecorated my blog with yournegativepositive input. I though that you would have found your Greek god by now. I really missed you.Have you taken the advise I gave you last time? And did the shrink help?
My fondest regards to everybody back home. Tell them I'd be home soon.
I'm so disappointed with the rugby that I can get drunk for a week. If only it would help.
