The mismatched relationship

Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who has absolutely nothing in common with you? I mean, right down to the way you brush your teeth (water on or off, no one really knows).

I've noticed, as I look back upon my past relationships and realize just how awful my decisions were in each of them, how terribly incompatible I was with SSOOO many. I also realize how many one-date-wonders there were... After one date, you wonder where they went.

Needless to say not every girl and every guy are meant to be together. But call me a hopeless romantic, which people do, because I assume that each guy I am just head over heels crazy about is like oh so totally the one for me!

Which begs the question that most women have, how do you know? Well, I can't answer that because I'm single haha. It'd be like me giving a seminar on motherhood without having children. I was convinced though, that I will just know instinctively. Well that theory was shot to H - E double hockey sticks not too long ago with what I can only assume is a child trapped in mans body. But I digress.

Fact is, I will always want that guy I'm crazy about to be "the one" but when we can't agree on a radio station, let alone what church we should attend, then we are going to have issues. I know some incompatible couples make it work, but in my experience it just doesn't. 

My advice to myself, which I rarely ever take, and to everyone else is find core values that fit and work the rest out.

I hope you enjoyed today's installment of life wisdom. I'm not saying I know it all, I just know what I don't know.
