Does your partner have quirks that make you rethink of the relationship or do you always feel that you could never find 'the one'? While it's good to have expectations and not settle for anything less when it comes to looking for a soul mate, keep in mind that there are some things that probably don't matter. As the cliche goes, nobody's perfect. The best choice would be to strike a balance of what you are picky about and what you are not.

You are always the 'rejector', never the 'rejectee'


You often set high expectations and you're the dumper in all your past relationships because you always feel that all your exes don't seem to measure up to your criteria. Nobody wants to settle for second-best but if you have the reputation of being the heartbreaker, you're probably just being too picky.

You initiate break-ups because of petty reasons


It's okay if you decide to break up because the relationship is giving you more headaches than happiness. But if you call it quits each time after a big row with your partner or think of dumping him when he doesn't like your BFF, it may be just because you're being too choosy. While everyone is allowed to have their own expectations, it just shows how insecure you are. You can never get someone who likes all the people around you.

You always want to change people


Relationship is not about getting the Mr. Perfect. If you think your partner needs a complete overhaul and try to mold him into someone you wish them to be in order to meet your criteria, you would probably be better off staying single. In that case, all you can do is to control how you react to issues. Besides, turning him into a carbon copy of you isn't going to be fun for the relationship.

You have a long list of petty deal breakers


If you have different interests or age gap in your list of deal breakers, there might be some cause for concern. You should probably ditch them before you find yourself having to stay single for the rest of your life. Don't let petty deal breakers prevent you from finding 'the one'. Ignore the superficial details and focus on his attitude and him as a person instead.

You write your potential dates off after the first meeting


First impression really matters but say, if your date is late for five minutes, do cut him some slack. Try to get to know more about your date and do not let your inner critic gets the better of you. Human beings are visual creatures but remind yourself to never judge him by his appearance. But if he doesn't look decent enough for a date or has poor table manners, you can feel free to forget about a second date with him.

You feel that you would never find 'the one'


Some people say that they 'just knew' when they meet their future partner. If you are always giving up potential relationships because you doubt if he's the perfect-for-me guy, that's probably because you're too afraid of being hurt lest the relationship doesn't work out the way you want. Accept the fact that things come and go and it's part and parcel of life. Instead of focusing on his flaws, sometimes things can be better if you embrace them.

You often complain about almost everyone


Do you find yourself constantly complain about just everyone around you? If you can find a million of things to complain about but only a few to praise, you're too fixated on the negative traits of people. If you do, don't beat yourself too much about it. Try to see things through the rose-colored glasses and swallow the negativity if you can.

This picture is so true. Regardless of whether the girl is a friend, a close friend, a stranger, a girlfriend , when she starts ignoring and discontacing you, you - usually the males- should know that you've hurt her feelings very deep. You should know that she tried to forgeive and forget and just take it easy but then you've hurt her over and over again.... And to the point when in order to prevent herself and you from hurting each other and being hurt, SHE decides to give up, to Retreat, To Back Down, To defend herself....

She really hates to ignore you, but she cant help it.. She know she has to, in order to prevent from being hurt more.... She has to force herself to avoid you, to ignore you, even if you are just a normal friend, but as a normal friend, you never realise you could hurt her so much did you? And if you are her boyfriend, tell me, how should she respond ?

You could have hurt her , not physically but perhaps in your attitudes, your words, your actions, you not fulfilling what you've promised her, not fulfilling what you've said. And trust me, when a girl decides to opt for the toughest decision to ignore a friend, it takes alot of determination, alot of pain and effort to force herself to do soo...

So, to all of my male friends out there, Please be Mindful of what you've said or promised to a girl. To me, Promises are meant to be Broken. But to me, I preach what I said. I know the feeling of breaking a Promise or a Word to others, thus, I will forever do what I have said. ANd yes I really do. Guys just seem to think that they can patronize, to calm the girl down by perhaps saying few nice and good and pleasant wordds to them. But do they know that their words bring about a show of warmth to the girls' hearts , to know to think that the guy seems to be so nice, and truly cared about them. And when the Guy's Actions are totally different from what He has said, Do you realsie how much Hurt and Pain you've caused to the Girl???

I wonder if anyone understands this.

I know.

For I've been hurt by such friends before. It really sucks. Too painful. Perhaps, thats why my Defensive Shields are Up, I choose to retreat before Im being hurt more. Even If I treat you as a good friend, obviously, its' not the same with you. Oh well.
