Absolutely true. Be a complete person FIRST! Then finding the person to compliment, not complicate, your life will happen with little effort.
Only partially true. There has to be some commonalities otherwise there will be drama and drama only hurts a meaningful relationship especially when one gets to a more 'mature' time of life. That said, yes differences can be complimentary. In my last relationship she was a super extrovert and I an introvert. This really helped me open up and being on an extrovert island (sounds like an oxymoron but there are exceptions to all rules) one needs that to fit in. The one thing I hate, though, is so many people know me because of her but I don't know them. Being bad with names doesn't help.
Exactly.
Man Wants Me to Rescue Him
I rejected a man who is deeply depressed and wants me to rescue him. Gary appears to have dependent personality disorder. Gary wanted me to make him happy, get up off the couch and hike. Although he claims to love hiking, he hasn't hiked in years. Gary asked me to move in with him during our first (and only) meet. Yikes.
The last straw was when he posted two hiking photos I took of Minotaur Lake and surrounding mountains on his photography website. He posted my photos without my permission or crediting me as the photographer. I was appalled.
"It is unethical to pass off my photos as your own," I said." My intentions were honorable," he replied. What is honorable about plagiarism?
Gary's ego is so fragile, he immediately canceled his Facebook profile, Fitness Singles membership and photography website. Apparently, he put all of his emotional eggs in one basket.
Sad but happens
Gorgeous photos, by the way!
A number of years ago I briefly dated a guy who was quite needy until I dreamed one night that he was a vampire draining my blood. That's what it took to get me to walk away. I always understand metaphor!
Day to day living with someone exposes you and them to each other's A, B, C, D, and F- games. If all you can handle is someone's A game, sorry...
Exactly.. humans and relationships are way to complicated to be put in a box like that..
But if someone believes they need to be alone till they have all their shit together and will only love another in that same situation, that is their choice and i respect it (i just think in the real world its unlikely )
One doesn't nee to meet someone bringing nothing to the table and expecting someone else to fill that void. In relationships, it's back and forth but this post is not about that.. this is when someone is "looking".
@mistymoon77 I basically agree with the meme, it was the accompanying comment I took issue with.
Perfect. It’s the only way, and the best way.
Off topic, but I like your T-shirt.
