Shallow Hal
Over the years several have compared me to Shallow Hal...in fact...just today I was reminded of this comparison.I don't think that being particular is necessarily a bad thing. As I have grown up (and old....see the last few posts!), I have watched many people not wait long enough to find the most compatible person for them and it has ended in disaster.
Here is what I am looking for in a mate:
- Intelligence
- Sense Of Humor
- Attractiveness
- Class
If I had to put those qualities in order of importance, it would have to be in the order they are listed. But 25% would be the percentage of importance I would assign to each. I am selective I know...but Shallow Hal I am not! I know that I am not perfect (please not too many comments from the peanut gallery) and don't expect anyone else to be. But I am ok with waiting for God to send me the person I was meant to be with. I will admit that I am impatient but any time now would be nice!

Ok...I know that I am the best friend so I am suppose to take up for him, but Daniel has Dated some unattractive chicks in his time. Two that I can think of in particular who were not exactly small (not that I can talk).So, give him a break...he isn't Shallow Hal, Just Mr. Picky.
Picky about women...I just want to make sure we are clear that she is not talking about my nose or other bodily orifaces!
never compared to shallow hal...Mr Picky definately, which by no means is a bad thing, one should be picky, this is a decision that could potentially lead to everlasting happiness, or everlasting devastation and misery... just never pictured Mr. Picky with a less than attractive woman...
I guess people arent always what they seem...
Oh good comment Stacy!! I have compared him to Shallow Hal only in a joking wasy. I agree his is WAY TO PICKY. Just don't want him to spend his life alone because he was unwilling to compromise and give someone a chance. Looks can be deceiving and not all blond bomshells are "perfect". We all have flaws, even me!! Imagine that! HAHA I'm the queen of flaws. I dated "mr perfect" actually was about to marry "mr perfect". Trust me....the evil demons always come out!! Just have to allow enough time! HAHA Instead, I settled for the curly haired band geek and finally found happiness. Who would of thought?? HAHA
Let's talk about DB's current women!! HAHA
Hmm...Rachel...Come on DB what's wrong with her??? I'm sure you have a list.....
She cooks for you doesn't she!! That's definatly a plus!!
i say never compromise...if i had it to do over again, i would wait, make sure he was the one...the one that makes your heart beat faster and slower at the same time, the one that makes your stomach flutter when you are around him..not jump on the first man that showed REAL interest just because of my own insecurities and desire to be truly loved...not saying that i would not have married the same man, and ended up the same way, but if i waited, tested the waters, made sure he was the one, i would not have so many doubts now, and maybe those little things he does now, would not add up and make me so cold... but i believe in destiny, i believe that everything happens for a reason, and that god has a plan, it is up to you to walk the path he chooses, but he will lay the path...and in the end, ultimately will help you do what is right?? so the bottom line to all this rambling, never compromise, a marriage is more than a warm body in the bed... and one should never have to wonder what if... and cry themselves to sleep at night with dreams of a better life... on a lighter note, it is sooo much fun teasing him about shallow hal... he is a cutey he deserves the "perfect woman" and i hope he finds her!!
I agree that God has a plan for our lives. But God also gave us free will. Free will allows us to choose our own path and also room for error. To follow God's path, you must ask for his guidance realizing that the path you have taken in the past may not have been His path but yours.
