"The person I want you to date might be making morning coffee right now or sleeping through a thunderstorm or getting a degree in Physics. Wait. I mean it. Every other person will be a cheap imitation of the real thing." - Isa, You Should Date

"You Should Date" is the best writing I've read this week. I strongly agree with the writer that I needed to repost it on my blog.

Despite my skepticism in true love, I still like to believe that each one of us will meet someone who will make us believe in destiny and soulmate. It may be a long shot for some people but most definitely, we are all meant to come across one person who will make us realize why none of our past relationships made it to our future.

Sure, we all think that the person we are with is the person for us. But somewhere along the way, things will fall apart and we will get scared because we think we will never find someone better, or even as good as that person. But we're wrong.

"The person I want you to date will be into you. Really, really into you. There will be no need for pointless  games, no room for even the slightest bit of emotional confusion. The person I want you to date will be crystal clear about their intentions towards you. They will not win you over with sweet nothings or romantic gestures."

I bet we've all been with a person who played with our emotions and you didnt know what exactly was going on between you two. I call it the "what are we?" relationship. It's more like a hook up than a relationship actually. For a short while, it's kind of fun but when you start investing emotions to a relationship with an unknown status, you get frustrated. A label isn't totally necessary but it's hard when you dont know where you stand in a person's life.

Needless to say, I am a hopeless romantic but I've never believed in love at first sight. Maybe you would develop an admiration on the person the first time you meet him, but fall in love with him right then and there? Unless you are a 40-year old virgin cat lady who falls in love with anything that moves, I doubt it.

"I want you to know that the person I want you to date will fail you. Give them the grace to be human. (You are one, too.) Don’t listen to those stupid quotes that tell you that the person who loves you will never make you cry. I want you to realistically approach this thing we call human relationships."

You should know that nobody is a 10. Everyone has flaws and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you will find someone. And when you find that someone, you should know that you are not signing up for a walk in the park. Open your mind to the fact that he will disappoint you sometimes and open your heart to forgiveness. Why? Because he is worth it all, I promise.

"They will believe in you so much that you will never feel compelled to question yourself. You will put all your insecurities to rest because the person I want you to date will, more than anything, make you feel that you matter. Always. And you know why? Because you do."

You are not perfect and he knows that but he will make you feel like you are the most beautiful person in the world. The worst think you could ever do to yourself is be with someone who makes you feel insecure or who puts you down.

"Believe. Don’t settle. And in the meantime: become the person that the person you’re looking for is looking for."

Just wait for him. He's on his way and he's trying to find you as fast as he can. :)
