There is nothing better than being with someone who totally gets you. Have you ever dated someone who has no clue where your coming from? Although, it does take time to really get to know someone. You have to get through that honeymoon phase where everything is just so amazing.

Only over time can you really know if your an ideal match. After a couple weeks or months in some cases the person lets down there guard and you see the truth. I do believe in love at first sight but sometimes love is not enough to make a long term relationship work.

You have to be able to see your partner clearly and take off the blinders. Some people have said to me “the sex is great” as if that is what holds are relationship together. Not even close! What holds to people together is mutual respect, friendship and trust. You may not always agreed on everything but that is fine. Two opinions are better than one anytime. You just need to say open minded to others opinion and just listen.

Don’t sweat the small stuff and always be willing to try and find a compromise on issues. If your partner isn’t willing to compromise or listen to your point of view that is a HUGE issue. Like I said earlier love isn’t enough sometimes.
