Once we realise that we also have flaws this is not to say we should not be happy and positive about who we are but realise we are human and also may do things that annoy others from time to time. So of course when you are looking for a partner how can you expect them to be perfect for you in every area.
The one thing you do need to look at are what are your top ‘must have’s in a guy? Earning a high salary and having a great car is all very well but if this means he will be working till 10pm every night is this so good? or if he is so great with others and extremely social but stays every night after work having drinks and not spending time with you, is this really so great? Are these really the qualities you want in your guy? though if he is dedicated, caring and loyal surely this should be more important. I am not saying don’t go for all these things but just look at the bigger picture! and decide what are the must haves.
I think part of the problem is that we have seen too many American Hollywood movies. Even your friends have been brain washed and tell you that your prince will come along and to be patient. I am not saying settle but just saying if for example you turn down a guy because he is 2 inches too small or wears the wrong shoes you really need to look at the must have’s stick to them and let pass these small things that in a few years really wont matter once you have grown together and have a great relationship.
So just give yourself the opportunity not to let these potential great guys get away and become a great partner for someone else. Make sure you are open minded enough to give it a go. In your journey another thing to remember is to build your own confidence and self-esteem as you will be on the road to attracting the right guy much quicker. Like attracts like and once of the most attractive qualities is in knowing yourself, your likes dislikes and being honest with yourself as well as looking at what you want in your partner. You should look at what you are like, what you offer and what your weakness are, this will help you access if you will fit with the guy you meet.
So learn to be more open minded and who knows what could happen and who you could start dating…
