back then and until now i can still hear from my single office mates that they will just marry if Mr. Right will come along their way and swift their feet off the ground. :-) i think that's illogical sometimes. don't you think so? i came across this article in a book once and said that "when you want Mr. Right to find you YOU have to be Ms. Right first." makes sense isn't it. wouldn't it be unfair if Mr. Right will come along and fall in love with shall we say not so Ms. Right? would their relationship be lasting considering that the "fit" is not there? all lasting and successful relationships comes with both making the right "fit" to accommodate the other. Don't you think so?

Well, I guess it depends what do they mean by Mr. Right. Is it someone that fits you, or someone that fits your requirements? I actually think that we should find one whom we really in love with each other, and can fit into each other, not simply get one partner just for the sake of getting married. But if someone only wants to wait for the person that fulfills the requirements, then it may not really work out. Someone that fulfills your requirements does not necessary loves you, he may not gel with you well too, or perhaps you don't even love him, you may only like his qualifications, but not him personally.

Love and loving means that we have to sacrifice part of ourselves. to allow that person and ourselves to experience the true essence of love and of loving. time and qualifications are sometimes just an added criteria, but the real essence is to allow love to bind lovers, and let love their inspiration to grow and nurture each other. thanks my friend for the comment.

I agree with you. You can't be selfish in a relationship because you have to think about the other person too. A relationship isn't a relationship if you think you're the only one in it. You have to be fair to your significant other as well and what they want. And I completely agree with your last statement: All lasting and successful relationships come with both making the right "fit" to accomodate the other.

When you're young, you picture MR. Right as a handsome prince charming, good looks, great body, well-off, has a humor, smart and adores you like a diva. But as you grow older, you come to know yourself more, and yes, the requirements for Mr. Right will change and be more sensible. Looks will not be number one anymore, but a loving character and stable career could be much better suited.
