Sweetie... writing all of that doesn't put you anywhere closer to finding the ideal man. It just pushes you further away from reality and dating a real guy. The more you expound on that "ideal" guy and all of his wonderfully imaginary characteristics, the more distance you place between Mr. Ideal on the pedestal and Mr. Real, who may not be romantic, but could be a great guy anyway.

I'm reminded of some quote (total paraphrase, forgive me Original Author) about when you fall in love, you do it because of their imperfections, not in spite of them. Finding someone to share your life with isn't about finding someone ideal, it's about finding someone you can mesh with.
