Be open minded and realistic. Appreciate the person for who they are. If you can't, do both of you a favour and move on.

Maybe Katie By Barenaked Ladies
What's so maybe about What's so maybe about What's so maybe about Katie?
What's the use in hesitating? Can't you see that Katie's waiting? Just because her youth is fading Doesn't mean that she's not worth dating
I don't know what the fuss is all about Just take it slow It's not like you can't live without her To and fro If you've got a shred of doubt then it's not worth it
Can't you see her with her arms wide open She's everything that you've been hoping for Forever's not so long, stop moping She's got a daughter and you're just not coping.
Do you know everyone you ever swore you'd love for life I don't know them anymore I know their names I'd recognize them on the street and I don't love them | |

Take the time to find out wether they are friendship material or not. Remember if you don't know them, you don't know them.
They could be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but if you never give them a shot, you will never know.
I have always like a poster I once saw a very long time ago...
"Behold the turtle, who only makes progress when he sticks his neck out."
At the same time, give them that shot carefully... No need to become a police statistic.

Find someone who can communicate on the same level as you or at least someone you can learn to communicate with. Comminication is key and if either of you can't, you're in for trouble down the road.
Respect. It's all about the respect. If you intend to be with your partner for life, neither of you can live without the respect. Learn it, remember it and practice it.
In general...learn to laugh and not take things too seriously. Remember what is within your control and what isn't. That which is not in your control, is not worth fretting over. Life should be fun, get out there and live the life you dream of. | |
