Dating

When you begin dating, you start to pick out the characteristics of a mate that are most desirable. After a few dates with a few people, there’s a good chance that you could look back and realize that those that you have dated are quite similar to each other. But what happens when you form the idea in your head of what type of mate that you want and you stick to only that?

As much as we would like to have the ability to mold our mate to our exact specifications, we can’t. I’ve known women who refuse to date men that aren’t blond and I’ve known men that refuse to date women that are over 5′3. Those are their types and their sticking to them. But why? Is it out of habit, preference or just refusal to back down off of getting exactly what they want? Who says that the 5′3 woman is going to be a better girlfriend then the 5′7 woman? Why couldn’t the brunette man be the perfect person for the woman looking for a blond man?

Instead of passing over on a date because that person doesn’t meet a specific type that you’re set on, maybe that person is exactly what you’re looking for. Set a challenge for yourself. If someone asks you out, or you have an opportunity to go out on a date with a person that you would otherwise pass on, give it a shot. It could be the best decision that you ever made. What do you have to lose?
