I found several definitions of compromise on Merriam Webster online. It can mean several things, depending on the motivation for the compromise. Compromise can have a positive spin or it can have a hostile spin. For example: "A concession to something derogatory or prejudicial," OR... "Blending qualities of two different things." Blending qualities is my kind of compromise! P.S. I found several definitions of compromise on Merriam Webster online. It can mean several things, depending on the motivation for the compromise.

Blending qualities is my kind of compromise!

Compromise becomes a pleasure. When the chemistry is not there, we look for the deal breakers and rightfully so. I think Laura makes a good point... Keeping my fingers crossed! :-) When the “chemistry” is there, we make everything work. Compromise becomes a pleasure.

So, if you feel you match on the fundamentals, I say give it a real good try. In fact, give it two tries. The dating pool is very, very shallow, so nurture that thing!

Even when you go to erase and start over, you usually don't ever COMPLETELY eliminate all the lines. Especially if a particular "drawing" has been there a while. If it's a short-lived drawing, the lines usually erase pretty easily. As you mentioned, it's the ones you've invested a lot of time in that you hate to erase. Here's an idea. Don't start drawing anything until a few dates in ;) ... if you make it that far, then start sketching...you might get a different picture. The drawing board metaphor is better than you think…

We're just about out of closed dating season (Nov 16 - Feb 14), where no one wants to start a new relationship in fear of buying gifts, visiting family and V-Day, and into open dating season (Feb 15 - Nov 15) where singles are ready to mingle. Ending a relationship before V-Day is perfect! Save a little $ on gifts and dinner and kick off the search for the next Mr/Ms Right! This is good news fellow daters.

It's like this for us too. No woman, however good looking, or cool, or "right" for you, is perfect. The key is look for the positive, cause there will always be negatives.
