Relationships. Everyone says that when you know, you just know. And I want that. Obviously between us there are different preferences in finding the perfect blend of what we want in a relationship. Some of us need to have evenly matched intellect, common interests, similar goals and mutual sexual attraction while others are okay settling for less than what is truly desired which is either one or more of the above as opposed to all of the above. Keeping in mind that the criteria aforementioned are only ones I could think of off the top of my head. I’ve decided that interesting conversation is paramount in my quest; it is only natural selection after all.In the absence of that, I find that I get easily annoyed and on that account, will react in the most obnoxious of ways. A sign that surely worse things are to come (from previous experience, honestly). I’m not sure that anything else would be able to compensate for the lack of that particular element. One could argue that inadequacies in various other requirements play a part just as important too but those are not currently on the agenda right now. Again, this is all relative and is my viewpoint. At this age, I’m not sure that I’m ready to settle for a fine relationship when there’s opportunity for a great one. I'm not sure going steady with a guy by default is such a good idea. It sucks to think that in 10 years from now, if I’m still all by my lonesome, I would feel pressured to settle with what’s less than ideal. I definitely want somebody but I’m not eager for just anybody.At the end of the day, we all do whatever we want to do. Sometimes we consider the repercussions, sometimes we don’t and whether we let what other people think effect us or not really depends on our personalities. We really shouldn’t care what other people think when it comes down to the fact that whatever we do is a choice made and not something that we couldn’t help or were forced into. Just as long as we're happy. I’ve made many mistakes and encountered humiliating situations in my romantic life that I’ve learned from and really, that is all one can do. Either realize the lessons or repress those moments to the point of obscurity and deletion from memory.
