Curiosity Killed the Cat: Settling
-Just warming up for getting back into the blog.-
Lately I've seen many people's (via Facebook and Twitter) stats and tweets explore the subject of settling for someone who isn't up to par or the "perfect" one for them. Seeing the multiple stats and tweets made me think about the whole thing, dating, being single, and the transition from one to another. The mention of settling sparked my interest the most and made think about the act.
Here are my thoughts on settling. I believe anyone who dates settles. Does who do not date, don't. As people we fluctuate between settling and not, consciously and unconsciously. There is no one who is perfect from the moment the two meet, in certain cases text, message or IM. If an individuals standards reflect their desires in a "perfect" mate no one will be able to meet them. Since, most people desire to have the "perfect" one, it makes since to me to settle and build from there. In settling not only do each person learn from each other but they establish an understanding as time passes. That understand leads into love, growth, and unity (in theory). Who a person settles for and the manage of the relationship to keep love there, are other questions.
