If you were offered an all-expense paid weekend surprise getaway, would you take it? If you were promised that at the very least it would be warm and sunny but also warned that it might also be boring or dry? Would you turn down something that might be great but not perfect?
What about when you're feeling a little lonely and want someone to cheer you up? Does it matter if the man to keep you company on the phone isn't the one?
Make do with what you've got or something like that, right? And there's nothing wrong with that, because sometimes it turns out that the unexpected vacation was the best you ever had... and sometimes that nice guy that left the awkward message for you is exactly what you needed that night.
No one is perfect, not even Mr. Right. It doesn't mean you should stop looking. Go on dates, socialize and meet new people. We learn new things from them and we learn new things about ourselves and our needs. And that makes it just a little bit more likely that we'll be able to express just exactly what it is that makes a man Mr. Right. Keep an open mind and you'll find that Mr. Right For You.
The bar and club scene is more often than not a meat market where someone's goods can be judged as "meh" before they even utter a word. Looks are important, but they only get you so far. A nice personality, a sense of humor, the ability to hold a decent conversation... it won't get a guy on the cover of GQ Magazine but maybe it'll make you redefine your "Mr. Right" criteria.
The next time you meet someone really nice, but sparks don't fly in person, remind yourself that your next "free vacation"could just be more like Paris than the Grand Canyon.
