The Quest for the Perfect Man Part 2

Here's a hypothetical scenario. You review your perfect man must-bes and realized someone you've known for quite a long time actually fits the bill! You've scrutinized his life, seen his worst moments, explored his stupidities, but still, he scores 100% in your list. Exactly, as in, punto por punto! Your non-negotiables and your and-then-somes - your big rocks, and your pebbles, the sand, and the water, and even the jar - they're all just perfect. And not only that. He comes in a neat package, with a pretty face, a high IQ, and an excellent taste in books and music. He doesn't abbreviate nor misspell his text messages, his English, both written and spoken, is impeccable. He doesn't smoke or gamble, but he drinks beer during quiet moments and his favorite drinking partner is... yup, nobody, nobody but you.

So, what do you when you find him? BUT...

He has a wedding ring on his finger. Or...
A beautiful woman (not you!) in his arms. Or...
He has 3 kids and a wife. Or...
He has 3 kids with 3 different women. Or...
He has no job at all. Or...
He likes another man. Or...
He has major depressive disorder. Or...
He is 25 years older than you are. Or...
He has a girl's name (not his mom's) tattooed on his arm. Or...
He has a huge smoldering kiss mark on his neck.

Again, these are all strictly hypothetical scenarios. But I'm just wondering.

What would you do?

There really is no perfect someone...

but his imperfections make him who he is, and those imperfections make that person PERFECT for YOU...

just a thought!

Drop him (esp if he's married). Trust me, you'll get over it.
