This goes out to all you singles who are looking for that special someone that you can share the rest of your life with. I know, there's nothing wrong with you, but you just haven't found the right one yet and you're picky and that's ok.
So how do you find Mr. or Miss right? With over 6.5 billion people, it almost seems impossible to know where you might meet that person or know if the person you find is the right one. I'm not going to tell you to lower your expectations or standards of what you're looking for in a person, but I am saying that what you're looking for might be right under your nose.
Here's a few reasons why you may not have found your life partner yet: you have an unrealistic idea of love and romance; you're not sure if there might be someone better out there; you're trying to find someone who's completely compatible.
If that's the way you think, no wonder you haven't found somebody yet. Its ok though, there is hope.
When looking, sometimes it takes more than just observing people from a distance. You have to interact with the other person so you can get to know them. Love and romance is something that is often cultivated over time. Don't expect there to be fireworks the first time you meet a person. Build relationships and get to know each other.
The concern that maybe there's someone else out there who is better is valid, and I'm sure there is someone better than who you'll end up with; but that's not what matters. If you're happy with who you're with, and they fulfill your needs, it shouldn't matter if there's someone better. Remember that saying, “the grass is always greener on the other side.”
Compatibility is good too. Its great having someone who enjoys the same things as you. But why do they have to like everything you like? First, I guarantee you there's no one who will ever be completely compatible. Second, as long you get along well with the other person and you enjoy each other, then don't worry about those little differences. That's what makes the relationship interesting, and yes, even fun.
Last but not least. Don't expect to find someone you'll never disagree with. You need to discern which problems are worth sticking together through and which ones aren't. Once you're married, though, you can't be breaking up over anything or everything that comes up.
I hope this helps in your search for Mr. or Miss Right. Remember you're looking for the right person, not the perfect or ideal person.
