The thing about it is, I know that everything I've read so far is true, but it's still such a difficult concept for me to accept... it feels like I'm going against myself!
And I know I should. (sigh) ...I suppose I do have high expectations...
Okay, if I had to make a short list of the non-compromising attributes I'm looking for.. here's what I'm thinking:
- Mature, but not old.
- Intelligent, but not a genius.
- Shares common values with me.
- Confident, but not arrogant.
- Funny, but knows when to be serious.
- Sensitive, but not a wimp.
- Healthy, but not a health nazi.
- Fit, but not an exercise nazi.
- Optimistic, but not naive.
- Ambitious, but not a workoholic.
- Well-educated, but not still in school.
- Well-travelled.
- Sexy.
- Stylish.
- Sophisticated, but not pretentious.
- Decisive, but not bossy or controlling.
- Can laugh at himself.
- Well-read, but not into sci-fi or comic books.
- Financially stable.
- Warm, but not clingy.
- oh boy.. this list is getting long...
(eye roll) I've obviously got a long way to go in learning compromise. I'll check in on this subject again, after I finish reading the book..
In the meantime, you can read along with me.. check out the link below!
