My roommate once told me that I should "never settle". This was, of course, just after one of his past breakups. But I kept that in mind for the several years that followed. After my own breakup (which is detailed in a few older posts here), I decided to devote a little thought to what exactly he meant by that. All I could come up with is simply keep looking until you find someone who is happy with you and with whom you are happy. Sure there's going to be things that both will need to work out or work on, but in general everything's good between both parties.
I know what personality traits I'm after and I know what kind of looks I'm after. But my current quandary is: should I "settle" for someone whom I don't like to look at 100%? is that even considered "settling"? If I "settle" for someone like that, is it going to bite me (and her) down the road?
I miss being physically close to someone, so I've seriously considered "settling" to get that back. And yeah, it'd probably be bad of me to do so. But on the flip side, I could be waiting for someone who will never come.
Ahh, life.
