(8,933 posts)and they miss out on a good person because they won't even give someone a chance. I had a friend who basically dated the same guy. He wasn't the same guy, but he could have been. And it always ended the same. When I first introduced her to my boyfriend, she told me I was settling and should dump him. He didn't fit her criteria I guess. I never really had a list and even though Bob didn't dress nice and didn't drive a nice car, and frankly I found him annoying when we first met, I saw something in him that led me to start dating him.
He's not perfect... neither am I. But we've been together for 15 years and have 3 kids now. The point I'm trying to make is that you have to throw out that list of requirements. It's bogus and it causes you to overlook more important things you should be looking for.
There was a woman who wrote a book about dating any guy who asked or something. She ended up finding someone she clicked with.
