making exceptions....

[ninestigmas]

So ive been looking for that special someone for a while a good while... so far it seems as though I cant get a single glance my way, well the few that I have were just a waste of time. So I said to myself maybe I shouldnt be so picky, because in all honesty, I was or should I say am? Indeed I have made exceptions agianst what I want in a partner...only to be just as disapointed if not more so with these people. So my question to you is should I go back to being picky and be disapointed in someone I want, or keep making exceptions and be disapointed in someone im given a chance to?

`I think the best way to go is to weigh what you consider to be picky against what you consider to be an exception. You shouldn't go for less in somebody if less means less of a person. "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get" that goes for people too, unfortunately, you can't tell who a person is going to be until you see who they are inside. I think I have a problem being picky sometimes too, but it's mostly because I live in my head and haven't had but a small taste of the relationship world.
Anyway, didn't mean to answer by writing a novel, but I think that is what you can consider, basically hold onto what you consider important as an expectation but letting go of the smaller things.

If you want to chat sometime, I'd be happy to!
