Disenchanted with prospective partners?

If you’re looking for a partner and keep finding yourself disenchanted, consider raising the bar. It feels good to WOW somebody! But there’s an inherent problem with that. It’s disenchantment.

If he’s stunned by your brilliance, are you going to feel stimulated by his? Is he going to help you reach the next level or encourage complacency? If she’s amazed by your incredible muscle tone, she might not be the rigorous workout partner you’re looking for. If he’s in awe of your pure heart, he’s not apt to discern a weak moment and help you get back on track.

If somebody is too impressed with you, beware of his standards. Consider her ability to keep your attention.

If you want somebody who will inspire you, don’t look for somebody who’s overly impressed.

The immediate gratification of wowing somebody is a high you inevitably come down from. On the other hand, if you can wow yourself, you’ve got something to hold onto. And probably you’ll have the guts to go for somebody who’s impressed with you but wouldn’t settle for less!

Here’s to being the best we can be!
