Shall Anyone Settle For Someone Less Than Perfect?

My job interview for today has been postponed to tomorrow. So now I have to go for five interviews tomorrow. I really wish for some good news soon! My friends have been telling me I should be able to find a job rather fast since I am not choosy and holds a degree. But so what if I am not choosy? The employer can choose whether to hire me!

The fact is there are not that many jobs I can choose from anyway, considering I am not specialised in any area. Sometimes no matter how much you know does not help if you do not have the qualifications to show for it. Rather sad, isn't it? Some people have all the high qualifications, yet their knowledge is so limited. However these are the ones that normally get the more prestigious jobs, leaving people like me with not as high qualifications but probably wider knowledge hopping around.

I suspect one of my friends is starting to pursue me. He has been dropping hints like messaging me a few times a day, asking about my day, calling me up sometimes to chat, and we talk about serious stuff like what I look for in a guy, instead of superficial conversations. Rather a sweet guy actually. He has not said anything so far, but any normal person can tell from his actions.

In that case, why couldn't that particular person tell anything especially since I have probably done more? I have said other guys are starting to stand a chance, but it is still up to me whether I want to give them the chance. I am still in the process of slowing down my affections for someone, although I believe I can consider this friend, since I have a rather good impression of him so far. Oh well, just let nature take its course and see how things develop.

I have advised my friends that no one is perfect so one cannot hope to find the perfect one. But the fact is that after being able to find the perfect one, shall I then accept someone with almost all the requirements when I could find someone with all the requirements? Is it so important that he must fulfil all the requirements? I know I am being unfair for other guys as I admit I am measuring them up to a certain someone's standard, but does that mean other guys are no good? I believe they are good, and probably can give me more security as they probably have lesser female friends who can call them up anytime.

Sometimes a person can be so perfect in your eyes, but may not necessarily be a good partner. Perhaps he / she knows he / she is such a good catch, that is why he / she may tend to be self-centred when it comes to relationships. (Archie Comics "Veronica" comes to mind.) Maybe it is better to be with someone less popular, then perhaps I can be better treated. It is really depressing for a girl to love a guy without getting any response from him. Looks like it is still best for a guy to love a girl, then he will really treat her well. So I guess other guys do stand a chance now, but they have to be the type I am looking for in the first place. As long as they fulfil about 80% I will seriously consider.

I will be going over to my friend's place to help him with his ideas for the essay later on and a dinner appointment after that. Very good, my day is starting to be more productive.

Since that particular someone has a lot of female friends, what you have done for him--which you consider 'special'--may just be what any of his other (female) friends normally do.

Perhaps the better question should be: if he were such a perfect guy, why does it seem that you easily give up on him?

I wish you luck.

Anon_X : I believe I have done more than what his female friends do for him. I am giving up because even though he is my type, I am not his type, so it's best I let him go to seek his own happiness.

Christopher : Luck in finding a job or a better love life? Whatever it is for, thanks a lot! :-)
