THE PERFECT PERSON
by JM Whitaker

When you're out there looking for that perfect person, keep these things in mind.
People change, no matter how hard they try not to.
As you grow older you mature, and with each new level of maturity
comes different ideas, different needs and wants.
The person who was perfect for you at twenty
could be the person you hate when you're thirty-five.
You have to find some one who will grow with you,
change with you, laugh with you and cry with you.
A person who fills in where you lack,
a person whom you can fill in for when they are lacking.
But what about the perfect person, you ask?

They DO NOT exist. There are no perfect people, only people who are PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER.

You deserve to be happy not in the arms of someone who keeps you waiting but in the arms of someone who will take you now, love you forever and leave you never.

daughter owen.

Perfect persons cannot be found that early. In fact nobody is perfect.

The perfect match should be there somewhere. It is a matter of patience and luck to find the perfect match.

Your eyes should be focusing properly and your feelings should be comfortable and clear to locate and identify Mr. Match:)

Have a nice day

in my opinion, i guess, there is no such thing as perfect men or perfect woman. what may be perfect to one person may not be perfect to the other. so it depends more on how we see the individual....

and i agree, we cannot change someone into a 'perfect' person, but we need to learn to accept the 'defects' of our life mate inorder to reach to the level of comfort- which may help to breed a 'perfect' relationship.

God has created human to be "Imperfect"-so learn NOT to change but to accept. look for what suit- when it does match, then it will be 'perfect'.

---------------where there is friendship, there is NO 'hurt feelings':)--------------------

Good morning daughter.

Guess dad should interfer now. You are appearing online at times you should be sleeping and dreaming.

Consider this as an ultimatum. Later if this will continue then dad will take necessary action :)

there's no such thing as PERFECT PERSON....not even the word perfect for each other.....in order for a relationship to work or how you imagine it....as they say....someone has to give way or understand each other.....for a relationship to grow and mature...it'a give and take....not give n give nor take n take.....

true enough, but we, people are not always satisfied or will never be contented with our partners (specially with men)and this is the time we look around....(ok i know this should be in another thread)...

as mentioned above, we only find completeness during the early stage of any relationship, but time passes by, the person we once thought was almost "perfect (i know no such word)" will somehow feel different and the search for finding someone to feel that completeness begins(again)...sigh..

The problem is not with the other person

The problem is with us as we expect something from that person and when that person is not able to fill in the mould that wish him to be, That is when we disintegrate.......The day when we stop expecting or hoping anything from people. On that day we would be complete.

For me today is that day. What a day......

well you can make your partner to be one, i mean perfect for you...but as you all said, there's no such perfect people/person anywhere you look...no such word to describe your partner right? just a person who will complete your existence, will fill what you don't have, will make you happy and will be there for you until you are old and gray (ok enuf, didn't i say that i will give up being idealistic...:P )

I think he's got the first part right. The person who is perfect for you at 20 is not necessarily the person who's right for you at 35. This isn't a bad thing, it means we've grown and matured. It would be more sad if neither of you had ever changed at all so you were the same person at 20 that you are at 50 or 70. Nobody wants to be that stagnant. We need to throw out this idea of "meant to be" and change it to "meant to be right now."

hmmm, what the author (JM Whitaker) is saying there (i think), is that there's somehow a person who would compliment you...anyhow, maybe i should stop being idealistic (see what happen?...) :P

for the perfect person is because he/she himself is not perfect.

If you are looking for the right person than thats another story

RED_POPE is right...you need to accept that no matter how we want things to be or happen...it WON'T happen....'so always have a back up plan...
