JackX - I don't feel that ThatOneGirl's comments were looking for perfection at all. Maturity is a perfectly good thing to want and part of maturity is being self-aware and realizing what you want in life and how you would go about accomplishing it. Setting realistic goals for your life, and by "immaturity" she could've also been hinting at desperation. I have known people who almost seem to need to be shown every step - rather than going out and learning it themselves. To me, a mature person figures things out and doesn't live in their mistakes, and makes an earnest effort to constantly move forward. However, I agree with your comments in response to ShawneeMan.


And as far as that "one special thing" - I still don't think that DMC80809 is asking for perfection at all. That "one special thing" for me happens to be a combination of everything I have been looking for which includes the ability to be myself, the other person being comfortable being theirself with me, respect from both, honesty, openness, stellar communication, ability to talk about literally any topic light or heavy, complete acceptance, trust, willingness to work together/cooperate/compromise, good sense of humor, patience, willingness to listen a lot (I ramble a ton), willingness to talk (I also love to listen), understanding, taller than me, and more and as I sit and think about my list I have a very specific person in mind who fits all my criteria AND THEN SOME.


Although I think that some criteria from someone are going to be too impossible, I don't think that people should settle for less than what they really want and deserve and if you have to have certain qualities and traits in the fundamental core of the person, then by all means seek them out!
