I hope those of you that have found their perfect partner realize how lucky they are and never take them for granted.
@Jordan2 you are very wise. Thank you for starting this thread. I'm going to share what I wrote with ((DH)) when he gets home from work tonight.

Better yet, @Deb1010yetagain........print it out and put it in your Valentine's card! Can't think of a nicer message!

My DH's birthday is on Valentine's. I already have his gift . @Jordan2 I totally agree; I've been married 3 1/2 years and I still feel like when we first got together. I know how fortunate I am.

Ironically, I think he came into my life when I decided to put myself first. I had decided after my the end of my first relationship to focus on my studies entirely and not to bother with relationships.

At first, I didn't see him as a potential partner because he was a bit younger than me but I allowed his virtues to speak for themselves once he began to pursue me. In addition, we were friends first then partners. So, we got to know one another without the pressure of trying to be perfect.

So, the moral of my story OP is that your perfect mate may not be exactly how you might imagine it. Just focus on being happy, being a good person to yourself first and keep an open mind.

Also, follow your gut. My parents were dead set against my BF for a long time but I held my ground. My mom now adores him but my dad hasn't even met him yet. His loss. They felt since he was younger he didn't have much to offer me since at the time I was making really good money and going to school both full-time. Yet, I saw his potential; he had the qualities I needed most as mentioned before even if he wasn't stable financially.

When I was young and stupid I thought first he had to be handsome. My wise mother would say "oh, he can be abusive to you, but as look as he's handsome". Now I'm older and wiser. I look for someone who is kind, compassionate, has a sense of humor, is generous in spirit (also not a cheapskate), who is also good to his mother. It is nice if you are physically attracted to someone but I think someone can grow on you and become handsome because you love him. I have seen too many women disregard someone because he doesn't measure up to their idea of perfection. By the way I'm still searching for Mr. Right!

Your mother didn't really say that did she?

When I was looking for a guy my number 1 priority was he had to be employed. I wasn't particular what he did for a living but he had to actually be working.After that,he had to be at least reasonably intelligent and have a good sense of humor.And he could not be a drinker.

Edited to add, and he could not be a doctor.I would not even go on a date with a doctor.

She actually did say it! She wanted me to find someone with good qualities instead of someone who was just a pretty face with nothing to offer.

Humor, intelligence, attractive, nice hands and feet, patience, didn't smoke, punctual, good with money, likes to travel, and a good dancer - in no particular order. Lol
