The expectations....

We come across a lot of like minded people in the dating sites. More often than not, people seemto have unrealistic expectations as far as a date or a partner is concerned. While it is natural to have idealistic views on the kind of partner one seeks, I think it is necessary to keep an open and flexible mind if you are to have any success in finding one.

So many people demand a picture upfront while they themselves does not have one to show. Often, people dont even reply after seeing one's picture. It is only basic manners to share your picture with a person who has already shown you his/her picture. When a person has trusted you enough to share his/her picture, you need to reciprocate in good spirits. Even if you don't like what you saw, it is rude and totally mean to not let the person know the same in kind but clear words. 

I am an average looking guy. My experience tells me that looks are not the most important factor to be considered, though it is a desireable bonus. What I seek is an honest, caring and confident person who is sure about his needs. One who can understand and accept what I am. Surely, this is the basis of any relationship. If a person can satisfy this, he would be the most handsome and dashing guy in the whole world for me.
