Thank you. :) That's true, some people don't always get the main point.

I think the idea of an "ideal partner" has been "sold" and heavily marketed to us for decades. I don't believe there's an ideal partner; there are, however, really good ones out there. They are extremely hard to find and it's like a lottery, in my opinion. Unfortunately, based on what I've observed and learned from others, most of us waste an insane amount of time and energy looking for a partner, to end up with an unsuitable one most of the time. It's almost not worth it.

I'm absolutely fine with an idea of a temporary semi-decent partner if I start feeling lonely or bored. I think people should embrace this idea more. Also, we should all open our heart to finding love if it happens to come by. But in the meantime, it makes sense to pause the dating experience if it's not going too well, you know?
