I waited a very long time for the right men. I wondered if I was too picky. But I met him and he has more qualities, than I expected. We are in a happy and healthy relationship. I realize that I had high expectations, because I was also ready to offer a lot and a great discrepancy between our values would lead to a disaster. We need to have a balance between what we ask for and what we offer.
Yes, I absolutely agree. Balance is the key, and being realistic about what you can offer is very important. It needs to be a two way street.
