Tuesday, March 25, 2003 "Realistic Romantic" I took this online test for Aly - because she says I'm "too picky." And these are my results (and proud of 'em! hehe): You are perfectly picky: self-respecting without expecting the moon and stars. Sure, you have a few male must-haves -- such as kindness and chemistry -- but you don't expect every guy you date to fit a cookie-cutter list of requirements or spoil you like you're Catherine Zeta-Jones. "You have a great deal of self-confidence and an open mind about what qualities you find attractive in a guy, so you're accepting of minor imperfections," says Lynn Friedman, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in Bethesda, Md.. So if a new beau who is otherwise great makes an inconsiderate move or a blind date winds up not being as stunning as you'd hoped, you'll remind yourself that, hey, you aren't perfect either and focus on his positives before giving him the boot. At the same time, you won't settle for subpar performances. "While you accept the occasional faux pas from men, you do not tolerate repeated bad behavior," says Friedman. After all, you're worth a helluva lot more than that, and every guy who's lucky enough to date you knows it. . . . babbled Lin |
