Mr. Right? Wrong.
Everyone has experienced Mr. Perfect on Paper. He's the one that has all the prerequisites, and yet is completely uninspiring, annoying, shallow, or just plain wrong for you. The problem is, the older we get, the more expectations we gather, and therefore eliminate most men that aren't Mr. Perfect on Paper. The problem is - as I've said - Mr. Perfect on Paper is oftentimes Mr. All Wrong.
It is a fine line between knowing your needs, and systematically excluding men because they don't match your list of do's and don'ts. If you are too narrow in your scope, you might just end up on date after date with Mr. Perfects on Paper, never actually finding Mr. Perfect in the Flesh.
Next time you meet someone who isn't Perfect on Paper, give him a chance. You never know, you might surprise yourself and throw your old checklist out.
