Drawing the line when it comes to finding Mr. Right?

You meet someone new. As you get to know each other you start to find out all kinds of different things about one another.

We all have our imaginary man that we want to be with & the thought of meeting him leaves us just a little wet. But chances are you won't meet someone will all those characteristics. So you have to compromise... but

When you are getting to know a guy, you start to find out where they like to shop, what they like to eat, read, do, drive, live, work, what they watch on T.V., then you learn about their past, what they were like as a teenager, what kinds of experiences they had, what college they went to, etc. etc.

Now, what if you find out (for example) that they eat at a restaurant you hate, they went to a college that you generally would talk shit about (if they didn't go there), as a teen they were the kind of person you would have NEVER looked twice at, they watch programs on T.V. you cannot stand... do you rule them out & stop talking to them or do you continue to leave yourself open to see if you guys will connect?

Where do you draw the line, is it ONLY about the 'connection' you feel with them, or do these random little facts matter?

and another one, loovveedd tall guys, would never look twice at a short guy, and yes, her husband is now short!

okay its one thing if it's physical characteristics that end up being different between you and your love intersest.. but i think it is important to share the same interests because at the end of the day companionship is what will matter in the end..but perhaps keep going with it because there may be other interests or similarities that you have yet to learn about!

it's always good to involve yourself with a man that will open up your mind, but there is for sure a line that must be drawn. small characteristics, whether physical or mental should never be ruled out... that way you're just putting together a mr. perfect that will never appear IRL.

give the guy some chances, open yourself up, and if you're really not compatible then move on, but don't act too quickly or you might miss out on something really incredible.
