We all have that one friend...

We all have that friend that swears he/she wants to date but will find every possible fault on the other person.

They will say things like:

• the nose is too big (as if that even mattered, what are you planning to do with their nose anyway?)

• the feet are too wide (have you looked at your feet?)

• he/she is friends with so and so (are you going to date this person or that other friend?)

• in another life he was an elephant and I don’t like elephants (first of all, who doesn’t like elephants? and second, are you for real?)

You get the idea, they just can’t find the right person! The more we try to connect them with someone the more excuses we hear.

Well, we just stop trying, right? But since only they can’t see the issue we keep hearing the famous line “I need to start dating” or the one we dread the most “do you have any friends you can introduce me to?”. Meanwhile we are thinking “NO, and even if I did I wouldn’t do it either because I don’t want to hear about all the faults you’ll find.”

At some point you start getting scared of hearing about the potential prospects because you can’t deal with all the non-sense about how this person is not a good fit.

I should note that this is not about those who actually try to date and just don’t click. This is about those that don’t want to click with anyone but won’t admit it, so they act as if they want to date but they really don’t.

Anyway, we ain’t dating them so it shouldn’t matter. But please, if you want to date then be conscious that you won’t find a perfect person. A good enough person with some faults will have to do. I mean, they’ve probably accepted you just the way you are… like your friends do!
