Stop wanting for the perfect match....Expectations of perfectionism usually dooms a lot of potential relationships...

It's cool. It is perfectly normal for wanting the perfect match at your age. If you are still single when you are 35, you will know what I am talking about. It's not worth chasing the that does not exist....but damn close too perfect is not all that bad. Roll with the one you love...it can't be sunny everyday with a perfect breeze...so just expect that.

You can only control your half, respect the other half and cherish what you have when you find somebody. Just don't try and change any lovely woman so she can fit into your picture of a perfect girlfriend.

When you're ready, she'll show up. Sounds like you're not there yet, no use trying to force the issue till you are. JMO, I don't know you from Adam's housecat, so I could be wrong! grin hug

This is the hardest part about relationships and seeking the one we want to share our lives with. If we simply wait to find the woman who matches, 100%, the mental image we have of the so-called 'perfect' woman, which is subjective, of course. You will never find her, ever. However, I believe, compromising your beliefs, standards, convictions, et cetera is not something one should do either. What it comes down to, which is subjective also, is finding the 'right' woman. Will she be 'perfect'? No. Will she be make you 'happy' and can you make her 'happy'? This is the important question. You must have a similar vision in where you see your lives going. You must have similar faith, where faith exists. You must have similar if not identical ethics and standards. You need to be patient and communicative with one another. If you have these lined up, then things like passion will fall in line, I believe.

Maybe there ISN'T someone for everyone? Maybe, some people ARE meant to be alone forever?

It isn't that there is merely only 'one' person meant for everybody. Such romanticisms are a falsehood. I, myself, and a romantic at heart. However, it is that we seek someone to be with our whole lives, it certainly is not that there is merely 1:6.5 billion. If so, there would not be so many successful marraiges out there. Your point is taken tough, a good pet can help.

lucky im a hopeless romantic as well, no one would understand what goes through our head unless they were one, they view us as a pathetic person who sits around moping and depressed cause were alone? it has nothing to do with that... we enjoy our life just as much as the next person, party a lil, go out to the beach, water ski what ever it is that u find fun, enjoying time well spent with friends or people u get along with. Its just when it comes to relationships when we find that person you "click" with we want it to be on a deeper lvl, we think deeper, we feel deeper, every aspect of the relationship falls on feelings, just because others have an emotional range of a Teaspoon doesnt mean were any less for wanting more. To feel a deeper connection between the two people. To want to experience and enjoy life not only with fun, but to enjoy life with someone that goes deeper than just "i love you".
