Preference: Set Standards or Limit Dating Options
When it comes to dating, people have their own preference, which is used to set a certain standard for assumed compatibility or does it only limit your options?
All of us might have a friend or even a friend's friend, who is pretty, smart, sociable, who doesn't have a problem on meeting and mingling with men and yet she is single. A possible reason is because of the whimsical rules that she have listed for the criteria of what makes up her Mr. Right.
The elusive Mr. Right is often described as physically attractive, gentleman, sweet, have a successful career and posses the x-factor. You can meet several men who dons the first four attributes but the missing piece on the puzzle, commonly known as the lack of x-factor is the deal breaker. This can be tested on the chemistry between the individuals, sharing of interest, religion, hobbies or even life goals. Simply put, it's how you fit in with each other amidst your differences.
Looks like ending up with Mr. Right is too good to be true.
Each individual have a dream and different standards for success, happiness or even for potential boyfriend. Each have different perceptions on who qualifies as handsome, who are considered with a successful career and was his joke funny or plain stupid.
In the world of online dating, there is an apparent struggle to differentiate reality from fantasy. When an individual participate in this modern dating option, she thinks that she is being liberal and open minded about meeting new people. She fills up her profile to "describe" her personality and sets up the traits of the people that she would like to meet. But looking deeply on the scenario, having a list of preferred qualities do not help you to explore your options rather you closed your door on meeting other interesting and could-be compatible men.
In reality, given a sea of faces, one could interest you and if the initial attraction was mutual, you two can end up giving out your numbers and setting a date. From that first date, is where you can have a conversation that could show your interests, compatibility and other information that you're both willing to share.
The bottom line is we don't know anything until it was completely unveiled in front of our eyes. Our perception, list of what makes up Mr. Right, only limits the potential men that we could meet.
Meeting someone online or offline, is just the beginning. When you start dating and talking more often that's when you can discover nice or nasty things, if you both survive that pace, the next step is to see how well you blend with each other's family, friends and personal goals.
So next time when you look on other person's online profile, don't just dwell if they are cute enough, smart enough or interesting enough, unless you want to pursue your singlehood. It is hard to find someone special, joining online dating sites do not guarantee to give you a boyfriend next month. You have to help to ease the process by adjusting your view. Don't narrow down your options by specifying a strict list of characters, because you might be surprised on what's in store for you!
