How would you describe the ideal girl of your
dreams? “Oh, she has got to be beautiful with a
nice figure, having a sweet and sexy voice,
cheerful, gentle, considerate, kind-hearted,
understanding, independent, musically inclined,
share a common interest of mine, hmm… knows how to
prepare nice food and…”

Ok, that\'s enough. Do you think such a perfect
person actually exists? Maybe. But you must
realize that you may have to temper your
expectations in order to find a partner. Still, if
you focus on what is most important to you,
you\'ll likely find someone that will make you
happy.

Steps
Think about what you really want. Are you looking
for someone to date or to marry at this point in
your life? These partners can have much different
qualities. In particular, looks and adventure seem
to go with dating, while maturity, stability, and
honesty go with marriage.
Ask yourself, “Have I really ever tried to pursue
happiness?” Instead of always picking on your
partner’s faults and making life unhappy for both,
have you tried looking at the other beautiful side
of them, their beautiful qualities? Appreciating
what you have already got? Tried improving on
yourself instead, to becoming a better lover; a
more ideal lover? Willing to open up yourself,
giving both yourself and others a chance?
Remember, what you expect of yours or your future
partner is equally what he or she expects of you.
Think of a relationship as a long-term investment
rather than a game. It is something which both of
you will have to genuinely think through and plan
for. This should help you to take your partner
more seriously.
Make sure you are settling down with someone who
has the qualities you seek in a lifelong mate.
Just because you enjoy dating someone does not
mean you will be happy marrying him or her.
