My opinion in this is , If you like the person and dont like his weaknesses or just cant deal with them , then by no means date him/her.. Either you like them or love them for who they are , or dont date and find someone who is compatible..
Is like this; If I am not a smoker or beer drinker person, why would I date someone who is , then try to change his mind about not smoking or drinking later, especially if she/he is not ready?
I know what you mean....The last guy I dated use to smoke then quit...Told me it didn't matter to him if I smoked or not...Then when we started dateing he was on me all the time about quiting smokeing...
I agree with you about loving the good & bad about a person.
However..if there was something about me that she didn't like or a flaw of some type that I "COULD" correct,......then sure....why not?? As long as it makes me a better person for having done so..I don't see a problem with it.
That's just me, though. I'm sure there's plenty of people who disagree with me on that but, me personally...I'm willing to change myself for the better,for me. So...why not for her??
Did I mention that the new & improved model "Danno",comes w/remote control? She can surf(click,click,click,click,click,click,clickaway),until she finds a program she wants to watch!! Or,hit the "mute button",as the case may be!
I don't think people should have to change who they are for the sake of love but can be willing to change some of their behaviors to make a relationship better.
I would say if you "can't stand" things about the oter person it is a bad match to begin with. There are always going to be things about people you love that may irritate you from time to time but the good should outweigh the bad.
JMO...if you you are wanting to change something about the person you are with then you don't really love them...if you love them you would love everything about them as that is part of who they are
While I would agree with your core ideal, I think that a person should help their partner if their habits and/or actions are self-destructive. Perhaps I'm reading too much into this.
I don't think you should ever try to change the person who you fall in love with, unless like some said it's a life threatening habit - drug use, alcoholism, etc. There are people who choose someone thinking they'll mold them into their ideal of the perfect person - doesn't work. I expect someone to take me at face value as I do them. Caveat Emptor - let the buyer beware!
