Reincarnation and Lessons Learned

Fancy 1st Date Guy, Yogurt Guy, and ex-boyfriend called me today. Umm...why? I'm pretty sure I got rid of one, and the other 2 got rid of me. So why have they contacted me tonight? Either they are in slump and going through their phones and calling everyone, or they sincerely want to "give it another shot." Sorry gentlemen. "Mr. Do You Have a Facebook" just raised the bar and you fall unfathomably short. Harsh? Maybe. Truthful? Absolutely.
Katie, Jane and I were talking over dinner tonight. Jane and I were offering Katie comfort and advice as she's dealing with a rough breakup. As I was dishing my "words of wisdom" to Katie I realized something. This past week I've learned a lesson from Mr. Facebook. You have to know what you want before you look for it, or you'll never find it. To know what you want you have to know yourself. Once you've got that taken care of don't settle for someone who isn't what you're looking for. It's a great disservice to both of you. Know who you are. Know what you want. Be realistic. Learn how to recognize these qualities in others. Don't waste your time by settling with someone who isn't what you are looking for. There are 6.77 billion people in this world and one of them is looking for you.
