It is spring and that means "love is in the air". If you know me, I love reading about and discussing the topics of relationships and the differences between men and women but most people don't really know why I do. The reason behind my fascination with these topic is because I feel that the more I become aware of differences between genders/ common mistakes/ etc, the more I will be aware of my own actions towards my spouse (whenever I decide I am ready to have a relationship). Maybe thats just my hopeless romantic side butting in.

     

      Anyhow, I have been noticing lot information lately that I simply do not agree on regarding the topics of you and your future spouse... one of them being that "the list you make of what you look for in your significant other becomes shorter as you grow older". On the contrary, I am finding that as I get older, this list is becoming longer and longer. On the plus side, however, I can tell that the list has become less superficial and more meaningful. A lot of people have come up to me and discussed their concern on feeling like they are "too picky in searching for a boyfriend or a girlfriend" and what I always end up telling them is, "as long as your list is not too materialistic and superficial, you can never be too picky". In fact, I sometimes tell them to be more picky. Dating, as I see it, has a single purpose.. that being finding your life partner. Other than your relationship with God, this is probably the single most important step in your life so why shouldn't you be picky about it. By the end of your life, you will have lived along side this person a lot longer than you have been living by yourself.. so I sure hope that the list you create is as specific as you can get it to be. 

     Okay, well I should stop myself here or else I will never get any work done. Oh relationships, how I could talk about them forever =P.
