Soul mates?

There are many people who believe that there is only one true love for them, their soul mate, with whom they are destined to be with. They keep looking for that perfect person - the idea they have in their head of how their person should look and behave. I believe that many people have the potential to be you soul mate or as I would prefer to call them a life mate. I think that by being to specific in your demands of a mate sets you up for failure. Maybe you are just making excuses for why you are alone. You say to yourself I'm alone because I haven't found that handsome guy with blond hair, perfect teeth and abs of steel. I won't settle for anything less then that image of a perfect mate I have in my head. Any little short coming is good enough reason to not date some one. I can't date so and so because he doesn't have blond, black , or red hair or I can't date him because he isn't a Liberal or he is too skinny or too fat. When you end up old and alone don't blame anyone but yourself because you are the one who passed up all the opportunities you had because they weren't the person you had imagined you would be with. It's all right to be less than perfect and to be with someone who is less than perfect.
