Again sorry for the long time between posts. I’ve been busy and actually sleeping, imagine that. Anyway, as it is the night before election day, I can’t sleep and remembered that The Perfect Imp left me a comment a while back. Anyway, enough of me rambling on about things that don’t matter, on to the show.

“I do think the pursuit of a “perfect” other, though, is a crap shoot at best. I think instead the need may be to change one’s own perception of what is perfection to include a healthy dash of realism. After all, we know when we look at ourselves honestly that we are nowhere near perfection – so how can we even subconsciously demand that of our partner, in friendship or more?”
After pondering this for a few minutes I understand what you are saying. Perfection is not easy to come by in any form. The perfect apple will always have something wrong with it, the perfect picture will always have a flaw in the background or on the microscopic level. However, I am a believer that perfection is in the eyes of the beholder. Much like what one finds beautiful, another may not, what one person finds to be perfect, another may not. For example, I think my girlfriend is the perfect person in the world for me. However for you, she may not be perfect. It’s all about perception.
Now for some people, this perception of perfection may be a little bit beyond what is actually possible. When this is the case, yes, I do believe that it would be needed to realistically re-assess what it is that you like in a significant other. In the next couple of weeks, I’ll post my the way that I personally created to assess potential love interests and help determine who is the best for you. Hopefully it will help both you, Perfect Imp, and others find out exactly what it is that makes a girl perfect to you, and help add a dash of realism into the folds of what you look for in both a romantic relationship and just a simple friendship. I myself have used it in the past quite a few times to determine where I felt I was at with friends of mine.
