Do we know ourselves well enough to know what we want, or perhaps more pertinently, need, from a partner and in a relationship?

We all have a kind of mental check list...a blueprint detailing the sort of emotional, physical and personality qualities we're looking for.

But, when it comes down to it, how sure can we be that we really know what makes us tick...what we respond best too...what brings the best out of us?

I've surprised myself by finding certain ladies attractive that aren't a match to my personal blueprint of a potential partner. I just couldn't help myself though!smitten

What about you?wine

Hiya Detente wine... I have thrown out my 'list' long ago... nobody I ever got together with conformed to it.. 'suppose' there are some unavoidable crucial things like love, trust, compatibility and attraction.. but other than that.. always has been a mystery to me confused cheers

I have some idea of what I want; I definitely know whether or not I like someone by how at ease or at peace I am in their presence, or how uneasy for that matterlaugh
And surprizes are nice because they teach us more about ourselves.

I have a list as long as my arm..

I didn't have used to have one, and I think (for me).. that may have been the problem.

My list being sooo long is part of the reason I've been single the last 4-5 years.

giggle


But I don't have time in my life for messing about on silly crappy relationships any more.. I would MUCH rather be single for the rest of my life (I'm GREAT at being single.. and I love it)

Than settle for some two bit nothing of a relationship.

Yes, I guess I might appear to be this....yet, here I am...wise and seemingly in control of my life and my emotions and feelings, but yet so far from where I want to be. You know what they say...those who can't do, teach (or something along those lines).

I often say that I would rather spend the rest of my life alone than to spend 2 hours with someone that I don't care to be with. And I definitely hold true to this.

Every relationship is a conflation of compromises.

And the blueprint is chancing with every minute you are living. Every experience is chancing the view of life a little bit.

I am still working on becoming the person that I want to be. I do believe that as I work on myself, I am also acquiring the traits that I would also like in a partner. I may never become someone that a partner would be attracted to. I can only keep striving to be the very best me that I can be.
