The Look of Love

It's pretty safe to say we all have a "type" by now; if not physically at least in terms of personality. What you figure is your type may not always be good for you, but that's another story. My point really is that there are certain qualities that give a relationship a better chance than others. It's not always going to be the case that you find that, so we kind of just go with the flow till we do. You can't always just build those qualities from the ground up. We as people have a clear idea of what we like when we see it.

I had this idea that some people you know, or talk to even if they're just a friend have a potential. I call it a potential for love, or "The Look of Love." There's people you sometimes see and think that you can really build something with them. Now on the surface one would say that if this be the case then always go for that person. Conversely just as any rule there are exceptions. And in this hectic realm of relations circumstance always plays a huge role. Things have to happen in the right time and season in order for things to pan out properly. Patience will give your situation the best chance to succeed. You may see so much potential in someone but they may not be looking for what you are right now. Someone could also have potential and they're simply with someone else. These things hinder the movements you'd like to make, which sometimes lead to other relationships that don't work. You could argue it's almost a form of settling. I don't know if it's settling as much as it is just not wanting to look like a dweeb waiting forever.

But we all have an idea of what we're willing to love. I think this is most evident when whomever it is that ha caught your interests presents a great deal of good things. As they present all these great things, if their looks are an icing on the cake then that's a great sign. I'm not writing today to tell you not to settle, because you're simply moving on to other possibilities. But I am saying don't compromise what you feel is your look of love. Understand you really can't change anyone, they change on their own at their own discretion. If someone is presenting to you qualities that you know you can't tolerate, then they're putting the "look of love" you have in jeopardy. Never compromise your beliefs or morals. When it's all said and done, when you're really ready to settle down and be in something legitimately substantial, then make sure you settle with your "look of love."
