Everybody is looking for the perfect partner but most probably your search will last a long time. Everybody has some bad things which could irritate you one moment. The one is funny, the other muscled and the next is very charming. However. the funny person lives around the corner, but is very connected to his work and doesn't has much time. There is always a 'but' which shows up.

Too many choices

You can compare the search for a partner with shopping in a supermarket. For example buying a toothpaste. There are many choices, maybe around 20 different tubes. You look at the tubes, analyze the ingredients, compare the prices, look at the taste and then you decide to continue walking. Maybe they have better toothpaste in the other shop. One who taste better or is cheaper. The same with finding a partner; too many choices makes a decision for a new partner more difficult. What if you make the wrong choice of all those choices. You will never forgive yourself.

Use filter options at a dating site

The problem with finding a partner on a dating site, is the much bigger choice of people than in normal life. With a few clicks on your mouse you are reaching a wide choice of men/women. Research shows that internet is the third best option to find a new partner. Behind every profile there should be the new luck, but this person is not easy to find. The good thing about internet dating is the filter options to get a selection of people with your requirements. You can choose for the color hair, sportive type, build body, etc. which already gives a smaller selection and filter out the characteristics you definitely don't want.

Scared to make a decision

Are you a bit scared to make a decision? Are you always finding something negative in a new partner? Too big, too small, strange profession, too short hair, not cool enough, two years too old? Maybe you are afraid to end up with somebody you only get irritated every day. Don't worry, nobody is perfect and no way you will find a partner who doesn't have something negative. Look at the positive sides and remember these when you have a bad moment of thinking.

It looks easy to always find a new partner who you believe could be the perfect partner. But after a while you will get irritated of some things, there is no way to avoid that. Think about the good characteristics of your partner and think if you can really find somebody better. In a relationship you have to find the balance between your character and the one of your partner. If you manage this you are the perfect partner for each other.
