It is said “You fall in love not by finding
a perfect person, but by seeing a imperfect person perfectly”. To a certain extent, it is true also, after all
nobody is perfect in this world. But what is important here is to find someone
who is well deserving of his imperfectness being ignored. When it comes to our
loved ones we often get irrational, don’t we? So we are back to square one, how
to find someone who is just the right one for you or should I say, “The perfect
match”.
We lead such a hectic and fast paced life
that very often we don’t realize the value of people in our lives when they are
there. The chances of a broken relationship increases when there is a
difference in what we aspire for and what we land up with. Globally, the rate of failed marriages is
increasing which is a area of concern.
One of the most prominent reasons for a
failed marriage is a “imperfect marriage”. It’s kind of weird but many a times
the reasons for falling apart are the same that brought you together. Blame it
on adrenaline rush or whatever, people get so pumped up while dating that they
end up getting married , in the heat of the moment. A typical “Happy ever
after” tale where there is nothing happy ever after…!!! Life initially is pink
and flowery but once you get over your fantasies, that you realize may be it
was too early to take the plunge. The problem here is not a imperfect partner
but definitely a incompatible partner, who doesn’t fit your set of priorities
and needs.
So the BIG question is what are the do’s
and don’ts , that one must have in his/her mind when it comes to finding your soul
mate. Finding your perfect someone is
not that difficult but to hang on to him is definitely not so easy…J
Here are few tit bits that will surely help
you find your soul mate:
1.
Know what you want
We all are unique for we
have different needs and aspirations and before getting into any relationship,
be sure of what you want out of it. Don’t go with the flow but follow your heart because unless you are sure of what you
want in your life, nobody would know.
2.
Ready , Steady and go
Don’t fall for someone
just because all your friends have their dates to accompany them to the ball
rooms or clubs. This is one thing you need to ask yourself whether you are
ready for it or not. Don’t rush yourself
and take your time. Get prepared up there in your mind and just go for
it..!!!
3.
Talk, talk, talk and
more talk
That’s the key my dear.
One thing that can piss off any relationship is lack of communication. I understand we all lead busy lives but lil
effort pays you in long run. Infact we are lucky in terms of technology here.
Page, sms, blackberry ping, call, mail or do what you can but the banter should
not end. There’s nothing better than a starbucks coffee and a chit chat with
your someone special. Trust me , it will do wonders. Follow your heart and
speak your mind and you are right there man.
4.
Explore
We all are different human
beings with varied taste, desires, hobbies, mindset and temperament. Explore
what all you can do together and its real fun. You both will have different
opinions but variety is the spice of life, isn’t it. Stretch your comfort zone
and open up yourself.
5.
Setting the priorities
While you look out for
your perfect someone, its very important to set your priorities . Your
priorities should decide your partner and not vice versa. Similarly you have to
accept your partner with their set of values . People come with their baggage
and should not be burdened with a “ to do list”. Accept them the way they are
because u fell in love with the person and rest all is a package deal :)
6.
Oblivious to the obvious
Yes, there are times we
need to ignore what seems to be very obvious. You cannot hold on to grudges and
letting them go is the key to a blissful association. Let go of your Ego and bend a little,
afterall that’s better than to break down.
All of the tit bits do not
work in all real time situations but they do act as a catalyst. There is only
key to a perfect match. Either you fall in love or get loved. And if you find that difficult , there is a
long list of matrimonial websites willing to help you. And who knows, you might
end up finding your soulmate. The medium is not important but the end result
is. Trust your partner, and believe in
love, and you will find your soulmate in him.
CHEERS..!!!
