Most women are guilty of unrealistic expectations when looking for love and forever . . . aren't we?
Although we know for a fact that Prince Charming does not exist, we still search for him. If the expectation is to find a man who has the traits we most look for in a man, good looks, humorous, stable, patient, trusting and loyal (I know I am leaving out many more), we may as well be looking for that magic carpet that will take us off into the sunset.
Men are equally guilty of unrealistic expectations when searching for their perfect woman . . . you know you are guys!
We are human . . . we want it all when it comes to most everything, but especially when looking for love. None of us want to settle for imperfections in another person, although we are not perfect ourselves.
Any type of relationship takes time and patience. However, when high expectations of fantasy collide with reality, we are setting ourselves up for a long period of time trying to fit a round peg in a square hole, losing patience that will ultimately result in failure.
No matter where you are in your relationship, the most important thing to learn is how to reasonably compromise. Equally as important is being realistic about the type of person you want when searching for your forever soulmate . . . he or she is worth it.
