It’s fair to say that everyone has a “type.” A kind of person you are drawn to. The kind you consider “the perfect guy.”

Newsflash: There is no such thing as a "perfect" guy.

Not objectively at least.

It seems like every woman is waiting for some idea of a man when Mr. Right might be right in front of them. The twist is: you just can’t tell yet.

Whether they want to admit it or not, everyone has a kind of checklist for what they want in a partner. “They have to be at least 6 feet tall,” “need to have a nice body,” and/or “he has to be able to remember dates and plan surprises.”

We build up our expectations so high, that we don’t always let someone take up the challenge. We see and/or meet these guys and instantly compare them to what we’ve always wanted.

What if he is exactly that, but you don’t give him a chance?

At the center of it all, it’s a person’s personality that wins us over. Maybe if you gave guys a chance, they would surprise you.

There are aspects of your dream relationship, and perfect guy, that can’t be determined in the first impression. He might have the best memory and celebrate every birthday, anniversary, and holiday with a passion. But, how could you know?

This doesn’t mean you need to lower your standards or your expectations.

You know who you are and the kind of person you deserve and want, but it could be beneficial to keep an open mind.

If you let yourself believe that a prince charming is going to randomly pop into your life to start the perfect life, then honey, you’ll be disappointed.

Take into consideration the most important qualities and characteristics you want in a partner, and see what happens.

If you always stress the importance of physical looks, maybe take a step back to re-evaluate.

Mr. Right isn’t just born that way, an objective goal. He is a regular guy that can’t show you his best qualities unless you give him a chance.

This is also to give you a better chance.

The longer you hold onto this idyllic and impossible image, the less likely you are going to be to put yourself out there. I mean, what’s the point is he doesn’t fulfill everything on your checklist?

The point is, he just might.

This or that guy isn’t the “man of your dreams.” He’s better, cause he’s real.

It’s better to open yourself up to options and possibilities for a relationship, even if it doesn’t guarantee true love than to wait for someone who doesn’t exist.

At some point that Mr. Right you dream of will reach such high expectations that you will have closed yourself off from what could be a happy and loving relationship.

In the end, only you know who is right for you, but just remind yourself not to put a type of guy on such a high pedestal that no one can even reach it.
