we all have our ideal match .. weve all dreamt up the ideal guy or gurl partner who has whatever were looking for.. generosity, compassion, good looks, cash, etc etc...but in the end we all compromise on what we want because mr or ms ideal never seems to come into our life.... the question is will these relationships make it to the big M (marriage)...can we go on compromising our whole life ..what is life witout our ideals? do you think we should learn to live and be happy with what we get or should we instead battle loneliness and wait for the perfect one... is it worth it? temme what you think.

personally..i don't believe in destiny...you are the one making it. Not to the extent that you were just sitting on a corner waiting like hell for the right guy to come over. Everyone's got a point. No one is perfect so better enjoy the good things life has to offer. It's true, that what we look for in a guy isn't always there.So we always end up by accepting the guy on what he really is and not by our qualifications that they are to follow..i hope you got my point..=)

maybe yes maybe not. but nothing's perfect so how can I even give reasons? yes, we may have our dream/ideal persons but it's not a guarantee that we'd ever find them. if we ever did, it's not a guarantee that our life will be complete and perfect. there's no such thing as perfect relationship or perfect partner. we are the one's in charge of the wheel. do we want a perfect partner? then we must strive to become perfect ourselves. *wink*

Anyone can fall in love, but it def takes positive compromise and care to be successful.People nowadays give up much to easily the second they feel their identity has been threatened, but the idea is that two become one,so you don't really loose yourself, you gain another half.

If you battle loneliness .. and wait for the perfect one... you will remain alone for the rest of your life. The perfect men/women... doesn't exist...and won't exist. It doesn't worth to wait him/her.

I think it's fine to dream up your ideal mate, as long as you're willing to be flexible. I doubt there is a Mr/Miss Perfect out there and if you try waiting for one, you'll wait forever.

hmmm... a very interesting topic nadi. u seem to have ur mind fixed on the Mr. ideal concept which without any doubt means u are lookin for a relationship that takes u ol the way to marriage.(hey i jus assumed that correct me if i m rong). i have seen a lot of relationships that crumbles and i have also seen ones that are so perfect that makes us all envy them (particularly my parents) hehe... u may look fer a perfect match, but then again u may have to wait ur entire life until u get lucky.i have always believed in love marriages but then when i just look at a lot of them, it just scares me cos most of the tyme it jus dusn work the way u hoped for. i wudn say ur ideals is not imp but then hey life is not always fair wit us.u have to let go off some cos life is ol bot compromises, whether its for ur loved ones or evn if its fer u. in short i think hey n its only wt i think, not realy tryin 2 generalise or somthing, give it some tyme, try ur luk, if it dusn work then u shud jus simply let go off ur ideals n try n move on. lot of wt i have said hasnt made any sense... hope it dus 2 u... chers!!!!

I don't believe in this concept of perfect person for oneself. There is no perfect marriage. Neither there is mr.ideal or ms.right. i think everty relationship needs to be worked upon and it takes lot of time, mutual understanding, mutual trust,mutual love, for relationship espcially if marriage is to blossom and we find true love. I think we should all dream, fantasise because it is good to dream. but when we really find true love all these ideal s go out of windows , because we love the person we love like they are , and remember every person is unique and we love them for what theya re and don't wnat to change them as we love everything about them, even their faults.

perhaps we can't find the ideal match we are looking for, but atleast reasonably so would be better than compromising a lot and getting married to settle down with someone who is nowhere near your ideal. so, maybe you should wait some time and try to find your ideal, and you could be lucky enough to get someone nearly so. of course, we have to remember that no one is perfect, so give some allowance... good luck ...

i am afraid its not easy to find an ideal lover in your life,one usually give up the dream after long time seeking at cost of loneliness.in fact one should be realistic ,it isnt worth risking your life for the dream.

Whenever we think of our ideal partner we may need everything best in him or her. Thats why we wont meet any our ideal match. So i don't think we should wait for our ideal match. He or she wont turn up. So be happy with what we get.

There is no perfect person out there. Any two people that really want to be in a relationship can make it work. By definition Love is absolutely accepting someone for all of their faults, real and perceived. We should hold onto our lives, but in the big picture--marriage is about two people becoming one person. Instead of compromising, work on changing your foci toward some new things you can both agree on. "Is it worth it?" you ask. Well, do you want a great relationship with another human being, do you want to stuck in a relationship because "it's the right thing to do" or do you want to be lonely?

I can understand your dilemma. But to err is to human. Nobody is perfect not even God. But we strive to be a better person and a better human being, that's what is important. I married a girl 13 years junior to me and from diverse background. Not an ideal match, but we made it work and are happy. God bless you and good luck.

LIFE ITSELF IS A BATTLE SO LIVING THE LIFE ALONE WOULD NOT BE MORE INTERESTING AND IS NOT ADVISABLE TOO IT IS BETTER THAT WE LEARN TO LIVE MAY BE U WILL MET WITH YOUR RIGHT PARTNER ALSO SO LIVING LONELY LATER THERE WILL BE A FEELING THAT U HAVE MISSED THE BEST PART IN UR LIFE....

well i think every person has different aspects for his partener if you expect something from your partner then your partner is also expecting from you..and although your partner is ideal match for you.your partner is not thnk so.. so mutual understandig between both is the finest way to achive ideal match for yourself....!!

i don't think that mr or ms ideal is the perfect person for us. it's hard to find our ideal person not unless we are lucky enough to find or meet them in our life. that's the lesson i've learned in my life, that i should be happy and contented with what i get and what i have. now, i feel sorry for myself because before i always think and kept in my mind that i should choose the one who i like i mean my ideal person. Now, I'm very lonely being unsuccessful of it. So, we have our ideal person in our life but it doesn't mean that we should look for them for all of our lives. Besides, nobody's perfect.

There is no such thing as a perfect match!! If you want to be accepted by somebody with all your pluses and minuses, similarly you have to be ready to accept the person with all his flaws!! Life is all about finding happiness and making the most of what you have. What might seem like perfect today - might not be so a year later becoz circumstances can change.. anything can happen -- life is really unpridctable and so are relationships!!Ideally you should look for a person with whom you think you would really like to spend a long innings- the rest will just fall into place!! You have to be sure what are the qulaities that matter the most in your true love- no single person can have all that you desire , i think a whole lot of people have the misconception of finding the perfect person who has it all- thanks to reading a lot of Mills & Boons where all the heroes are shown to be having it all!!!
