I dont think there is such a thing as perfect, but we can still enjoy the work we do. However, your friend just sounds like someone who will never be pleased no matter what
I seem to be in a period in my life where I prefer lovers to a relationship. Right now, it just works better for me. Not to say that cant change cause you never know with love, but Im groovin with the way things are.
RE: Figuring Out Your Type
I dont have a "type" or expectations...I just let things happen naturally
