We live in a day and age where we set very high standards for ourselves. Going by those standards, it would take an immense amount of effort, time and luck to find your perfect life partner. And depending on how picky you are, that might not even happen. Instead, find someone who you are compatible with to a great extent and enjoy spending time with. Even if they are not the perfect partner you envisioned at first, in time things might change. Don't chase the dream so much that life and opportunities pass you by.
