I grew up backwards, I guess.

Most people, when they're younger, have some ideal of the perfect person. they've got it all figured out from personality to looks.

"her eyes will be green."

"he'll be the sweetest person ever."

But then reality sets in, and people start to strip away the requirements they set up.

"Okay, I don't mind if she has brown eyes."

"Okay, so he doesn't open the car door for me."

After several years, people have a much more general expectation and broader ideal of who they will settle for.

Not me. When I was younger the only requirements for women I had were:

1) Single
2) Breathing

But after each time I struck out, I'd take a step back and say, "Okay, so I didn't really like aspect about her."

Nowadays, it's to the point where I have very strict standards and I have the bar set extremely high.

A lot of my friends tell me I need to lower the bar a bit because, outside of fairy tales, those kinds of women don't exist.

I was beginning to believe they were right for a while, but I still wasn't going to loosen my standards one bit.

Especially not now. Back in November I actually met a girl who actually did measure up, even though I didn't realise it a while later.

Not that it mattered, because she already had someone. I also didn't know that till wuite a bit later, as well.

If I found someone who measured up, surely there must be others out there that will as well.

They may be hard to find, but they'd be worth the wait.

Besides, I know my luck. If I were to settle for someone just so I could have someone, that's when the right one would come along, and like the song says, "It's sad to belong to someone else when the right one comes along."

What's wrong with having the conversation here? it allows others the opportunity to jump in with their point of view. Isn't that the point of a forum?

Truth be told, I don't go out looking. The last three girls I've been interested in just came out of nowhere.

Same here. I've tried looking. That often fails devistatingly. Then I bump into a complete stranger when I go out and things go great!

Hi there Mickey... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

I followed both of your topics and finally decided to enter the discussion after all ...! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
Better late than never, right <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/question.gif" alt="" />

I really don´t have THE Answer to neither of your questions, but the thing I can give on your oh so young way is... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Always follow your heart but also listen to reason as well !

Marriage is a very serious thing and there is also a thing called divorce !
So think about that !!!

Concerning your question about Avoidance or Confrontation?
It definitly depends on the person, don´t you think ?!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
What does it help you to know how 1000 women think, if you dont know how that person in particular you are interested in thinks ??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

But if you really want to have individual meanings ... well this is mine :
A person I try to avoid "in any situation" ... can never be a person I am in Love with !!!


"negotium perambulans in tenebris" She acquired her characterization as a winged demon of the night (Talmud), as dangerous vampire and succubus (Zohar), as mother of the incubi and as screeching night-owl (Bible). This Lilith -- the Merciful One save us!
