The older I get and the more I date, I realize that you have to decide about 3-4 things that are truly important to you. Take everything else case by case. Throw away your list. Stop thinking you are going to get every single petty thing you want. The shit ain’t realistic.
Figure out your dealbreakers, figure out your must haves. Should only have a few for both and then go from there. We do too much when we have a fantasy in our head and people can’t live up to it.
Chile in a perfect world I would have my 6’4, dark skin rich ass king who pays for everything. ROMANTIC. He takes care of the kids and cooks and cleans. He’s emotionally intelligent af and supportive. But this is real life and not a fucking fairytale 😭
Some of y’all got a list a mile fucking long for no damn reason. NARROW THAT SHIT DOWN. Most of that stuff is shallow and/or you can simply do without.
I honestly don’t feel like looks should be including in anything when it comes to finding a mate. Yes, you should be attracted to them but when you’re making your list of 3-4 important must haves, a physical quality shouldn’t be one.
Also...ASK THE PERSON YOU’RE DATING THEIR DEALBREAKERS. Ask what’s important. Cause that can influence your decision on dating them.
I didn’t say settle 🙄
Just saying some of y’all need to hone in on what’s important.
